I *remembered* that Fuzzy was Merrry Octopus.  Go me.   ;D

And I made up the name Yule Brenna for Brenna last year.  Get it?  EUOL thought he'd steal my joke, but obviously it didn't work well for him.  :P

Also, Gemm has a Christmas name, but I haven't seen him post in forever.  Hey Gemm, come back and grace us with your randomness!  I miss you!

Oh, and Parker's name makes me happy too.

wouldn't "EUOL log" or "EUOLtide" be better?

I believe he's done both of those before, actually.

Thanks. :D
I thought it was sorta fun. (Besides, as Fishletoe pointed out, what he's got now is a pretty much just Brenna's "recycled" Christmasy name.)

Which actually really doesn't work, because all he is right now is a play on the name Yul Brynner, which is only slightly connected to the word Yule. I think he was EUOL log last year. EUOLtide is great, too.

No, last year he was Evil Undead Santa Clause.  So he probably hasn't used both EUOL log and EUOL tide, because this is just the third year of this, right?

Yes, it is. Wait, no. Some people did it the year before, mainly Jeffe, but I didn't participate till they broke my resolve last year--i.e., everybody was doing it, so I jumped off the cliff, too.

As for actual names, though, my memory of such things is pretty nil. Then I vote for EUOL log. And I think fuzzy should be fuzzymittens. Or maybe that can be her January non-Christmasy name.

Karen asks what Yul Brynner has to do with Christmas, and wouldn't "EUOL log" or "EUOLtide" be better?


Last year, Brenna was Yule Brenna.  So, I decided to play off of that.  That's why Fish said I'd stolen her joke, since she suggested it to Brenna.

I still think you need a more Christmassy name.
