Now how in God's name did I miss that one, and that is a cool name. For a tie breaker, it depends on what the "T." stands for.

Reminds me somewhat of all the awesome Groucho Marx character names.

Seven years later, I still vouch for Snake Plisskin.

OK, we have some continuity problems here, which brings into question whether your avatar is more real than we (I) had thought for. Kurt Russel's last appearance as Snake Plisskin was in Escape From L.A. which was in 1996--21 years ago. And if you're referring to the first one, Escape From New York, that was in 1981, (36 years ago) and since that was the original, I would have thought you would be referencing that one--but that's just me. Of course if you watched it on tape 7 years ago, you might have mentioned that, and which one, or both, you watched, and saved me from my psych eval here.

In any case, yes, it is a very cool name--although it prol'ly doesn't put the bar quite as high as Armageddon T. Thunderbird...or Pywacket. I am surprised no one has suggested Jesus H. Christ!, a character which goes back through Catcher in the Rye to before Mark Twain, I was surprised to learn on Wikipedia. How was I ever able to get along before the Internet and Wikipedia? :roll:

The "seven years" refers to when Luna6ix first mentioned Snake in the second post in this thread back in 2010 (though it's actually nearly 8 years).

OK, I'll throw that in the mix next time around. :roll:

Every character Brad Dourif has ever played. Camillus Fly, Hazel Motes, Luther Lee Boggs, Doc Cochran, Billy Bibbit, ... need I go ON? Because I think I’ve already named all the cool ones.
