Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for June 23, 2010

You have a round little belly, you shall be “Poncho”…

But your name is “Poncho” later on, not “Greedy”!

Ah cute little puppies! I want one.

That’s how Pinto got his name in Animal House.

Moochie?

Sheik Yerbouti Have you ever read the Harvard Lampoon’s “novelization” of Animal House? In the story, there was a very different reason for the name Pinto. It was due to the result of a childhood accident involving hot tar on a very sensitive part of his anatomy. Said area was left “spotted”.

By his own reckoning, Poncho should call himself “Ego.” (Or is it “Igo”?)

O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title.

Sorry, Juliet. If Romeo were “Blotch”, you would think him a Blotch and nothing more.

(Besides, you don’t “call a rose”, you “calla lily”! HAW!)

I think Poncho got his name because he sounds like the side-kick in the old TV series the Cico Kid….Maybe?

That dialog reminds me of the movie DUNE..’.he shall be knows as….Moadib… Paul Moadib.’

The plank’s name is Max.

^and he’s been institutionalized.
