Brain Dribbles.
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.
I suppose suggjoosting that you act more your age — at this stage of the game — is out of the question. This caliber of post must be what happens when you get too much oxygen [I sent some over…I heard the GAH-den State was nearly depleted] while pounding the pavement.

If I acted my age, I’d be asleep now.

I’m afraid to ponder the carnage if Mimbo, of Farkway Pest Pop fame, ever makes a STRING of consecutive typos.

reminds me of how i have always been a fan of switching the first letter of a person’s first name with the first letter of their last name. also, mimbo and himbo, i always thought of as the male bimbo.
