Alias

You know how whenever you return something to a store …

They seem to always make you fill out your name and address on one of the copies of the receipts?

It serves a couple of purposes I suppose …

One, it’s an audit check to prevent fraud on the part of employees, and

Two, it’s a way, in theory at least, to track parties who return things excessively, possibly abusively.

Regardless, it’s my practice to rarely ever put my real name on the form …

Joe Hairdy nor Amy Preston are frequently used.

Instead,

I go with a fake name …

For no reason at all other than to amuse myself,

Make me laugh.

Or at least smirk.

I’ve done it for years … and it’s never been questioned.

Amyways …

My alias of choice the past few months …

Jane Rove of 2229 Euclid Ave.

Any guesses as to how I came up with that particular alias?

(And no googling to find the answer … that’s cheating ! 🙂 )

  2. Amy has a talent for nick names. She came up with “Yodette”. You could say she has a nick-name-knack. When she intends to give Patty a whack and her dog a bone, who knows? 😉

  3. I would have expected that you would choose a name like Dixie Cousins or maybe even Kara Thrace as an alias but I liked how you came up with Jane Rove.

  4. I’m pretty deadly at the general knowledge portion of trivial pursuit. My memory is chockablock with normally useless knowledge. Must be a Jedi thing. 🙂

  5. Wooo hoooo !! Congratulations Yodette !! You’re the winner ! Actually, the name of the lead character in the show is Joan Girardi (her middle name is Agnus) … and she has this teen romance thing going on … he’s crazy about her, then was heartbroken and wouldn’t speak to her, but they might be making up now, at least for an episode or so … the boy’s name is Adam … and in sort of a private, special way … when he was liking her … he called her Jane … and people mistakenly thought in doing so he was just a stoner and couldn’t keep things right … but it really was him flirting with her in his own way … and me … in feeding my television delusions … took the romance one step further … using the pet first name Jane … and then taking Adam’s last name … Rove. Disturbing, huh? The street address is where she lives in Arcadia … why do I notice these things (addresses and middle names) in shows/movies and remember them? … Heck if I know !! But trust me … you really want me on your team if you’re every playing trivial pursuit !! 🙂
