I would never have got that

ZZZenAgain · 16/02/2011 19:52

I assumed it was a character in some obscure Scandinavian work of fiction

pointydog · 16/02/2011 19:52

no idea

MrsBananaGrabber · 16/02/2011 19:55

Everyone likes to think they have a witty name surly......i'm assuming pointy dog has an actual pointy dog though Grin

QuincyMincemeat · 16/02/2011 19:55

ahhhh..a fluffy hun NM reference....clever.

crystalglasses · 16/02/2011 19:56

who cares?

pointydog · 16/02/2011 19:56

No, I hae no pointy dog. I am more obscure than that.

ShowOfHands · 16/02/2011 19:57

I've never heard of Gummi Bears. Don't think I've ever seen you around before either MBJ. I will notice you now though and think 'oh she had a childhood that involved some kind of excitable bouncing bears'. I won't understand though.

Blatherskite · 16/02/2011 19:58

I was quite pleased with mine when I thought of it.

ShowOfHands · 16/02/2011 19:59

It took me ages to 'get' Yuno's name.

And I love AtSwimTwoLengths and TwoIfBySea because of how they sound but they mean nowt to me.

SkipToTheEnd · 16/02/2011 19:59

I got it straight away - but am a little late to claim that really!

My name is also form a comedy :)

ilooklikegrotbagstoday · 16/02/2011 19:59

I got it MBJ Grin

BusyMissIzzy · 16/02/2011 19:59

Oh I used to love the Gummi Bears cartoon. I even remember seeing Pinocchio at the cinema with my Granny when I was about 4 or 5 and there was a Gummi Bears cartoon on before the film.

BusyMissIzzy · 16/02/2011 20:00

Skip, are you a Spaced reference?

I also like MrsBananaGrabber.

I think I watch too much TV Blush

ilythia · 16/02/2011 20:01

Ooh, ooh, I know EricNorthmansMistress, and she bes bloody not be

No bugger will get mine. It's a bit more lowkey than Jack Bauer but still telly.

TragicallyHip · 16/02/2011 20:03

I saw your name today and thought oh Gummy Berry juice...so I got it Grin

Used to love that as a kid!

BusyMissIzzy · 16/02/2011 20:03

Angel? Fred's blue alter ego? I might be way off, haven;t watched it in years.

BusyMissIzzy · 16/02/2011 20:03

(That was at ilythia)

QuincyMincemeat · 16/02/2011 20:04

i know your name ilythia, it's from Spartacus; blood and sand ( or boobs and sandals as we like to call it chez quincy)

SkipToTheEnd · 16/02/2011 20:04

busymissizzy Yes it is!

I fancied "I'vegot fuckingJaffaCakesinmypocket" But it seemed a bit long!

MrsBananaGrabber · 16/02/2011 20:07

Ohhhhh, Skip, was just about to put Spaced but busy beat me to it. I wanted Daisy Steiner but somebody had/s it.

BusyMissIzzy · 16/02/2011 20:07

Blush I was thinking of Illyria, not Ilythia.

TwentiethCenturyHeffa · 16/02/2011 20:14

MrsBananaGrabber - noticed your name the other day and loved it :) One of my favourite shows but haven't watched it for far too long.
