"Peg Leg Harp Hopkins"

Anybody know what the algorithm is here? They're obviously not anagrams. I do in fact have a Hopkins connection, but not in my name, so that's weird.

Hey, maybe these can somehow be used for this board's anti-spam campaign!

Fat Money Hopkins.

Oh well, it's better than "Skinny liver" or "Curly Bones" or "Olivia Newton John".

Usually the "algorithm" of these kind of jokes works like this: there's a list in the background which has one word per input field linked to each letter in the alphabet. The program takes the first (second or whatever) letter of the word in the input field, goes to the list in the background and takes an outputword word from the according field in the list.

In this case here, the program takes the first letter. Dennis Roger Reed (Old Dog Jefferson) and Douglas Richard Redbone have the same blues name. Also we now know that Steinar's middle name starts with an O (probably Odin) and your last name with a C.

The first name list is almost always the star, usually some type of descriptive term that sets up the whole thing. The middle name usually just teams up with the first name to create something memorable, but rarely stands on its own. The last name is generally a throwaway, just to complete the package.

Things I'd like to see added to list #1

Swollen
Gassy
Inconsiderate
Smellin'
6-toed
Squishy
Incoherent
