hahaha are you one of Nanny Ogg's DIL Mrs TP?

MrsTerryPratchett · 06/08/2014 16:26

I can't be, I have a name!

MagratsHair · 06/08/2014 16:27

drops Greebo out of the window & shuts it

MrsTerryPratchett · 06/08/2014 16:28

I thought human Greebo would be quite fun!

RustyBear · 06/08/2014 16:28

I acquired 'Crivens' and 'Ptraci' for a TP thread many years ago, haven't used them for a while, though.
I think there's a lot of scope in Goblin names....

MrsCakesPrecognition · 06/08/2014 16:28

Hello Cake for all.

MagratsHair · 06/08/2014 16:30

Yes to human Greebo!

I love Goblin names, I wonder if there's a way to work out your goblin name. You know like the formula for Jedi names or Mallory Towers/St Clares name....

WellnowImFucked · 06/08/2014 16:37

I tried to think of one once but all the best ones were taken Sad

MrsTerryPratchett · 06/08/2014 16:37

I have decided my goblin name is Aura of the Candle Flame.

SnapeAndLily · 06/08/2014 16:39

MagratsHair

abstract noun of the noun, perhaps?

MrsTerryPratchett · 06/08/2014 16:41

Shine of the Hair, maybe.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 06/08/2014 16:45

Oh oh I'd like a tp makeover too! I like witches, trolls, dwarves, vampires, gods-well everyone except bleeding Rincewind.

MagratsHair · 06/08/2014 16:47

Ah I see Snape

like The Smell of the Drain or the Fartiness of the Cat...

I shall have a good think :)

MagratsHair · 06/08/2014 16:48

No Ohwhatfuckeryisthis I love your name!!

CaptChaos · 06/08/2014 16:52

Oooh ooh! I'm a TP nerd I have a touch of the social ineptitudes

I sobbed my heart out when I read the Guardian thing about the Embuggerance getting him. I can't wait for the new Tiffany Aching book.

Anyway.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 06/08/2014 16:52

Oh shucks thanks Magrat. Blush
Do you think they might give us a NC comp for the convention?

TulipOHare · 06/08/2014 16:54

Oh I am due a namechange!

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 06/08/2014 17:06

The name Vetinari - The RL historic ruling family known as Medici (to practise medicine) & Vetinari (to practise being a vet). Clever rather than hahaha

That's so fucking obvious and yet I never saw it. God I'm stupid. Excuse me while I self-flagellate in front of my bookcase altar to the great one.

Thelongdarkteatime · 06/08/2014 17:09

My username is very much TP. My ds is named after my favourite character. So sad about the embuggerance.

Icantbehavingwiththat · 06/08/2014 17:10

Had to namechange for this thread!

IAtentDead · 06/08/2014 17:16

Ha! Like this one.

AnathemaIsANiceNameForAGirl · 06/08/2014 17:29

Ta-da Grin (poster formerly known as TulipOHare)

I have been revisiting DW lately. Some books I favour and read regularly, but others I haven't read in years, and those are the ones I'm going back to - currently Pyramids. Will also go back to Interesting Times, The Last continent, The Truth and Thief of Time. I show a lot of favouritism towards the witches and the Watch Grin

CaptChaos · 06/08/2014 17:30

Thelongdarkteatime Mr Teatime?

I thought it was a reference to the Douglas Adams book. Doh!

Nanny0gg · 06/08/2014 17:32

IAtentDead

I do love this one!
