This cartoon has totally been my life this week. I’ve been out and about at shows and plays, and have been meeting all kinds of new people. I will fully admit that my real name is not common, but in this age of made-up names, ethnic names, and kids with the names of cable sports channels, I’m losing patience having to re-introduce myself SECONDS later, just because my name isn’t what you expect, say like Jennifer.
To that end, I think it’s time to finalize the Fake Name Contest. (Can’t remember why? See here.)
To summarize, we had nominations (back when the comments were up), and the names listed below were voted on, by you, my reading/lurking public.
Round 3
Tia Juanita Burrita 1 (16%)
Anita Buktoread 0 (0%)
Lewiston Hewitt 2 (33 %)
Mabel Maples 1 (16%)
Janessa Mayfield 2 (33%)

The polls are now open.
The polls are now open.
Go and vote and help me avoid future awkward social interactions, or at least those stemming from my name and people's lack of listening skills.
