Boris Blank is one of the best names ever uttered. My wife had an old cat named Dieter. A female cat, the name was a variant on the animal's original name (Clauditte) prior to my wife's adoption. That name cloyed so it was truncated to Ditte, later Dieter. In July '03, a stray moved into our garage. We adopted him and I suggested we name him Boris, of course. It didn't stick, somehow, possibly because Dieter was very old and not interested in "collaborating" with a Boris of any color. Fritz (a la R. Crumb) worked better as a name and so he became. Dieter the cat died in August so the possible pairing of Yello cat names was not to be.

The household gets a laugh out of it. Now what about Inglebert Humperdink? Now that's got to be the most silliest/complicated stage name of all time. But I think, being on the Yello list, we must all agree Boris Blank is the BESTEST. P.s. My real last name is Vice, so I am inclined to believe when I see other unlikely, yet cool, names. And no, its not likie miami vice. It's like Vice President, ok?Q@! Ever since that show came out I've had to endure those jokes. -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Charles Bronson Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 1:04 AM To: yello@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Yello] Re: Monsieur Bronson Some time ago I decided that Charles Bronson was not the best actor ever but he did have the best name of all time, despite it being a stage name only. After his death, I merely chose it as my "From" name. You too, can be Chas. Bronson in this fashion via the world of e-mail options.

It also wasn't very original. There was a composer called Engelbert Humperdinck (1854 - 1921), most well known for his 1893 opera "Hänsel und Gretel". The singer Arnold George Dorsey changed his name to Humperdinck in 1966. (it's amazing what you can find with a quick Google search!) Mark P. ----------------------<http://users.tpg.com.au/mrpulley/
