[Submitter's note: Some fans went to a comic convention and learned a
new game called "Porn Star Name/Soap Opera Name", which they'd learned
from sf writer Joe Clifford Faust.  To find your Soap Opera Name, take
your middle name and add the name of the street on which you grew up. 
Along the same lines, to find your Porn Star name combine the name of
your first pet with your mother's maiden name.]

>Ugggggh, I get left with "Alan Wilkinsville" and "Awol Vince".  I don't
>think I have a career in either category.

they did this around the office a couple of months back... i had:
Soap Opera: Witter Butternut
Porn: Monster Johnson

i must admit, somewhat shame-facedly, that i didn't even think of the
latter's connotations until they were pointed out to me... :)
