    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Once, during a very slow day at work, I contemplated the possibility of writing a spoof version of those awful trashy medieval romance novels. I blame it on the fact I was pricing and merchandising the ~500 Milles&Boons historicals someone had decided the bookshop needed. The ideas I came up with had my colleges in stitches. The male lead's name was pretty good, if I do say so myself.

    Ricardo FitzUrse. Use my smart English pronunciation and that sounds like Rick-hardo Fits-Urs. All his friends were going to call him Hardo, and naturally everyone would be totally blind as to how bad this sounded.

    Hardo was a manly man to out-man all the rest. He's so tough he would make Conan cry, and then cry himself because he's in touch with his feminine side too. Every last crappy stereotype went into Hardo's creation, and indeed into the rest of the work.

    My second choice for his name was Everard. Pronunciation: ever-hard. The audience decided that he absolutely had to be Ricardo's brother, and the lead character of the sequel.

    Dunno, maybe because it belongs somewhere in a 'Stories' thread instead of a place where you just say what name you find the manliest of all?

    Btw, same goes for that story with that bald African guy

    Wolfman Beerworth.

    That has to win the thread. I just saw it in a preview of the RPG Drakansang; the game's random name generator spat it out.

    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.
