Only when I buy her lots of flowers and chocolate, and tell her she's pretty.

Missy - short for Melissa - NO one calls me Melissa (even my mom).

My parents hardly ever used my real name...
...unless they were really mad.

"Charlie Dawn" meant that I was in a little trouble but not real bad.

On the other hand, "Charlene Dawn" was real trouble.

Wasn't it George Carlin who said the only reason kids have middle names is so their parents have something to call them when they are in trouble?

Yep, George noticed too!
It seems to be a common tool used by parents.

hrrmmp...I think I remember using it, actually!

I came late to internet thingies and I always struggled to get registered on any forum (still do!) so it never occurred to me to use any name other than my real one, Steve Shaw. I seem to recall that I wasn't allowed to leave a gap between the two names for C&F.

Yours sincerely

"Missy" is fine. I used to use it for my ex when she was in trouble.

Besides, its better than "Mel".

Lambchop · Post by **Lambchop** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 7:40 pm

Lambchop? It's one of my nicknames. Truly.

The obvious aside -- frisky, cheerful, and possessed of plump and nibblesome haunches -- I'm much like the original Lamb Chop, Shari Lewis' puppet . . . charmingly outspoken, blurting out horrifying truths and blunt opinions that others, i.e., those with more appropriate impulse control, suppress.

Deep down in my heart, I believe that the emperor wants to know he's naked. And I'm completely incapable of delivering the news gently.

Here is ventriloquist Shari Lewis speaking about her beloved puppet, Lamb Chop:

Q: What was your most unusual experience with Lamb Chop?
A: Lamb Chop is so much my alter ego that she sometimes gets out of hand and says things I wouldn't even dare think to myself. When she first met Desi Arnaz, he was sitting with his feet up on the table and was rather rude. She told him so in no uncertain terms. And that was the first time I really had to stay aware of what she was going to say, because she speaks for herself.

Q: What is your most memorable moment while taping television shows?
A: The really memorable things don't happen in a television studio. They happen under emergency circumstances-doing command performances, performing at the White House, or during those tense moments right before the Sullivan Show.

[One of those times was] during a command performance. You're instructed not to say anything about the Queen, and Lamb Chop took off as soon as she saw the Queen. She started babbling about how amazed she was the Queen was bigger than her postage stamp, and she went on and on.

Shari and the Lamb herself:

peteinmn = Pete In Minnesota

Or, possibly something so secret and subtle that were I to tell you the real truth, I would have to take all your whistles and then when you woke up in the morning with no menory of ever having played whistle, .........
