Happy Blogiversary . . . to Me!
Who knew, when I started my blog back in January (as a means to preserve my sanity – I never guessed I would “meet” so many fabulous and supportive folks!) that I would some day reach the big “100 entries” milestone.
So, for fun, and as motivation for all you lurkers to "de-lurk", I thought perhaps we could all share our “porn” names. Or drag queen names. Or hell, maybe just your “It’s Thursday night and I’ve had too much Tequila” names.
In case you’re not in the know, your porn name = Childhood pet + first street you lived on!
Before I share my porn name with you, I have to share what I consider to be the best porn name I have ever heard. It belongs to my dear friend Courtney. The reason I love it so much (besides its obvious genius) is that her first pet was a goldfish. Courtney's porn name? Boom-Boom McKinley. A kid who names her goldfish Boom-Boom? That’s a cool kid!
Anyway, I’ll show you mine and you show me yours . . .
Signing off,
Pepper Cherry

My porn name would be Buda Dorset. Does that not sound like an old lady or what? A better name? My second pet was a miniature schnauzer which I chose to name BJ, after a girl who lived on my street a few years earlier. Children's minds are so pure, are they not? And combine with another street I lived on, I crown myself: BJ Caves. (Great, now I just sound like a cheesy detective.)
Sugar Stratford.
Unless you count my mom-mom's cat, which you might, because I did live with her for the first year of my life. Anyway, then it would be Streaker Stratford.
I had a bunch of fish, but I don't think I named them. But before I share my porn name, I have to share my husband's because it sounds like he would get typecast as the dirty detective or something: Herb National. Yeah, his goldfish was named Herb.
Thanks for the hundred posts,

I love your past few posts. You have so many great stories, I don't think that I could come up with six stories from my childhood. I guess it doesn't help I have a crappy memory. My porn name would be Brandy Bramble.
I love Boom-Boom McKinley, although I happen to think my porn name is pretty awesome too: Bambi Angora. I shit you not.
Congrats on your 100th post!
Pepper Cherry is fabulous! Mine is Moon Park!
Bella Saddleback!
I love your blog. Thank you for keeping me entertained at work!
Puff Woodworth. Rather dull.

Since I am delurking, I will say: Love your blog! When I quit Corporate America I had a brief fantasy about teaching, and just for fun I took a chance I had to teach statistics for a big online university. The class was partially online and partially in the classroom. It was miserable. They were adults, but what a bunch of whiners. And don't get me started on the grade inflation. I made it through my 4 weeks of "training" and one 6-week class. But I thought it was just me, or just that school. Since reading your blog I've learned it wasn't..... Thank you....
Ginger Cottonwood!
Cha Cha Stephens. It's true. And for the record, Cha Cha was a mutt that could shake her groove thang and smile.
Congratulations on the hundred posts, and what a fantastic porn name you have. My porn name is Tiger Lakeshore. I can't quite decide if that's a really good porn star name or a really awful one.
Pepper Cherry completely smokes anything else, but here goes anyway. Daisy Magnolia. (We actually lived on the CORNER of Magnolia, but it sounds way better than Hillside.)
I wish I would have saved some of my teaching rosters from years gone by- this year we had a student whose first name was -seriously- Sir.
Ahhh, I love this game!
'Charlie Fifth' signing off....
I'm sorry, I think Stinker Wood and Larry Crestwood are AWESOME porn names!
My sister's porn name is Sugar Leon. She decided she should pronounce it lay-own, and transform herself into a sassy Latina porn star, Azucar Leon!
Delurking...
Dandy Maple, and I'm not sure how I feel about that!
I clicked over here from the Pilcrow site a few weeks back, and now I'm hooked. I am the daughter of two professors who taught at a small feeder campus for a larger state university. Despite growing up hearing stories like yours on an almost daily basis, I went into college teaching. I generally enjoyed it, but even though the school I taught at is (theoretically) a higher-caliber institution than is my parents' school, I still had my fair share of students who led me to ask, "WTF???" on a regular basis. I mean, really, how many kids can have four grandmothers pass away in two semesters, and seriously claim to be a bio major??? And, no, you don't want to know the answer to that.
I've been at home with my son for the last 2.5 years with some tutoring on the side at night. Every time I am tempted to call a day care center and venture back into teaching, I read your latest entry or think back to some of my more, um, challenging students. The urge passes fairly quickly. Bless you for sticking it out :)
It's been nice "meeting" you, and, please, keep blogging!
OMG - these are ALL so very, very good! I like Dandy Maple very much. I'll also agree with Lauren that Stinker Wood is TOO a great porn name. Bambi Angora, Wiggles Oklahoma, Sugar (or Steaker) Stratford, Tiger Lakeshore (another great one!), Cha Cha Stevens, Charlie Fifth, Ginger Cottonwood, Daisy Magnolia, Taffy Stateside, Brandy Bramble, even Buda Dorset - I mean, really. It sounds like we have the whole cast for "Saving Ryan's Privates." The only one I feel sorry for is Zygote Daddy. Florence Jackson is perhaps, a wonderful 70s TV Show mom name (and a great librarian name), but oh, the porn possibilities? Not sure. Thanks, gang! This was a blast.
I think Lena could modifiy hers to "Charlie's Fifth". As in Angel. As in I have too much time on my hands.
Anyway, Happy 100th Blog! I'm so glad I stumbled upon you!

Mine only works for the goth porn market:
Elisha Cemetary (Elisha, as in the man who was taken up to heaven in the Chariot of Fire)
or
Devashea Cemetary
Thank you for a great 100 posts. I actually don't remember how I got here a couple months ago, but I enjoy it very much. I work with very young kids, in hopes that a few here and there will turn out well enough to not make their college professors say WTF??!! all the time. So, you know, a couple should be coming through here in...about 10 years. Good luck.
A bit late I know but I'm delurking to say I love your blog and congrats on your 100 year anniversary. My porn name would be Fluffy Paddock which is pretty naff, sorry. Maybe it's the being British thing - we have rubbish street names. (My husband's would be Penny Langley - is it possible to sound less like a porn star?)
Mine would be Fergus King which isn't good enough.
I can't remember my first street (or really, any address until the age of 10. I apparently decided once I moved, I needed those memory cells for other things.) But if we use my first pet with the first address I remember, it would be Penny Forest.
The funniest ever, though, was my (male) friend's. Flopsy State Road 27.
Pepper Cherry rocks.
I could be:
Pillsbury High (childhood and first street)
Sable Sycamore (teen years and second)
Minky Sycamore (Sable's son and second street)
Orlando Pleasant (current)
None of them are very interesting.
