In a comment somewhere on Eric’s site a while back, I mistyped my name as “Mimbo.” Funny name, that, at least for an American human being. It might work for a cat or a dog, or it might be a perfectly acceptable name, as common as “John,” in some other countries.

The other day while pavement pounding, I got to thinking how many names could be made simply by mistyping the first letter in my name. I think it works for just about all the letters, with possible exception of “I” and “U”.

Wanna see?

Aimbo ““ Good name for a marksman.

Bimbo ““ “˜Nuf said.

Cimbo ““ Sounds a bit like the name one of Tarzan’s animal pals.

Dimbo ““ A name for a not-too-bright guy.

Eimbo ““ I can imagine a Nordic skier with that name.

Fimbo ““ Fat clown name.

Gimbo ““ A guy who walks with a limp.

Himbo ““ A guy who, before the surgery, was named “Herbo”

Iimbo ““ (ideas?)

Jimbo ““ Duh.

Kimbo ““ A guy who flails his arms around while dancing.

Limbo ““ A contortionist.

Mimbo ““ Some guy who comments on Eric’s blog.

Nimbo ““ A guy with his head in the clouds.

Oimbo ““ Joisey for “Ermbo.”

Pimbo ““ A procurer of ladies of the evening.

Qimbo (Quimbo?) ““ John Quincy Adams’ profligate son.

Rimbo ““ A guy who sleeps on bathroom floors.

Simbo ““ A guy who’s addicted to that lame game with the little peeps.

Timbo ““ A lumbojack.

Uimbo ““ (ideas?)

Vimbo ““ A guy who spends five hours per day at the gym.

Wimbo ““ A guy who is a constant whiner.

Ximbo ““ A guy who hates everyone else on this list.

Yimbo ““ Norwegian “Jimbo.”

Zimbo ““ A guy who thinks it’s cool to dress like Zorro.

THE ENDO.
