Store these away for future trivia nights. 1. Did you know the Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons has a name? It’s Jeff Albertson. But that wasn’t the decision of creator Matt Groening. “I was out of the room when [the writers] named him,” he told MTV in 2007. “In my mind, ‘Louis Lane’ was his name, and he was obsessed and tormented by Lois Lane.” 2. Barbie’s full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. (Ken’s last name is Carson.) 3. Cap’n Crunch’s full name is Captain Horatio Magellan Crunch 4. Snuffleupagus has a first name—Aloysius. 5. In the Peanuts comic strip, Peppermint Patty’s real name is Patricia Reichardt. 6. The Wizard of Oz rolls off the tongue a lot easier than his full name, Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkel Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs. From Frank Baum’s Dorothy And the Wizard in Oz: “It was a dreadfully long name to weigh down a poor innocent child, and one of the hardest lessons I ever learned was to remember my own name. When I grew up I just called myself O.Z., because the other initials were P-I-N-H-E-A-D; and that spelled ‘pinhead,’ which was a reflection on my intelligence.” 7. Mr. Clean has a seldom-used first name—”Veritably.” The name came from a “Give Mr. Clean a First Name” promotion in 1962. 8. In a deleted scene in the 2006 Curious George movie, The Man With the Yellow Hat’s name was revealed as Ted Shackleford. (Since the scene was deleted, perhaps this doesn’t count.) 9. The real name of Monopoly mascot Rich Uncle Pennybags is Milburn Pennybags. 10. The policeman in Monopoly has a name, too. You can thank Officer Edgar Mallory the next time he sends you to jail. 11. On Night Court, Nostradamus Shannon was better known as Bull. 12. On Entourage, Turtle’s real name is Salvatore Assante. 13. Sesame Street’s resident game show host Guy Smiley was using a pseudonym all these years. He was born Bernie Liederkrantz. 14. The Michelin Man’s name is Bibendum. 15. On Gilligan’s Island, Jonas Grumby was simply called The Skipper. 16. Staying on Gilligan’s Island, The Professor was Roy Hinkley. 17. The unkempt Shaggy of Scooby-Doo fame has a rather proper real name—Norville Rogers. 18. The Pillsbury Doughboy’s name is Poppin’ Fresh. He has a wife, Poppie Fresh, and two kids, Popper and Bun Bun. 19. The patient in the classic game Operation is Cavity Sam. 20. The true identity of The Lone Ranger was John Reid. 21 & 22. OK, these last two aren’t fictional, but just in case it comes up, Bono was born Paul David Hewson, and The Edge’s name is David Howell Evans.

Included in the family are: * Poppie Fresh (a.k.a Mrs. Poppin' Fresh, Pillsbury Doughgirl) (wife) * GrandPopper and GranMommer (grandparents) * Biscuit (cat) * Flapjack (dog) Poppie also appeared in some commercials along with Poppin' Fresh. Obituary of the Pillsbury Doughboy http://www.homeschooloasis.com/storehs_obituary_of_pillsbury.htm Please join me in remembering a great icon. Veteran Pillsbury spokesperson, The Pillsbury Doughboy, died yesterday of a severe yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes to the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a slightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out, including Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, Captain Crunch and many others. The graveside was piled high with flours as long-time friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man who "never knew how much he was kneaded." Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, even as a crusty old man, he was still considered a roll model for millions. Toward the end it was thought he'd raise once again, but he was no tart. Doughboy is survived by his second wife, Play Dough. They have two children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
