Thinking further, I believe the episode in which they made up all those names was different from the one with the Sampo. It may have been when they were showing a Hercules movie.
Those names came from a particularly foul episode. The movie was set in a sewage treatment plant starship, the “exteriors” were shamelessly stolen footage from “Battlestar Galactica”, and the movie’s climax involved a golf cart chase.
It did have Lorne Greene in it, though, so it had that going for it.
I knew a country boy named Simmer Laidlaw. Loved that name.

‘S fine. Long as your middle name ain’t mentioned.
I likes ‘Jelly Donut’ much more better.
That’s why his middle name is Alicious. But, I don’t mean anything by sayin’ it.
Aloysius!
I like it, it’s got pizazz.
Aloysius! Now you’re being anti-muppetic.
I’m going with Dick Mahogany. Watch for my new Vivid release.
Why? Inquiring minds want to know.
‘Cuz of posts like the nun infestation one, Karl.
Tab Shiznit Lloyd. I like it, except that it make me think of Lloyd Bridges which makes me think that I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
I say go for it, and I’m gonna go huff a little now.
Nun infestation? I thought it was this.
Tab Insert Heading Lloyd, III
Clumsy yet editable.
I’m changing mine to Dick Trickle.
There are worse names, I suppose…
True…
Going into auto racing, are you?
Going into
Erm, that’s the problem, you see.
When our new Muslim overlords take over, I’m changing my name to Abu Porki al Koholik. (Yes, I’ve used this joke before: sue me.)
Almoooooooooost, cut my hair…
I’m changing mine to Heywood Jablowme…
Tabb Lloyd. It adds a certain redundancy.
And if I use certainty in a sentence on three separate occasions,
An Angel certainly Kettles his Bells.
No. Lloyd Tabb is better.

Don’t care for Tab, but Lloyd is awesome!

Twenty points and a Sampo to whomever knows where these names come from.
Siddon who are you? And what have you done with McGehee?
If you mention “Sampo” it’s gotta be MST3K. Season 4 I think; pretty sure Joel was still on the SOL.
Thinking further, I believe the episode in which they made up all those names was different from the one with the Sampo. It may have been when they were showing a Hercules movie.
I had to google.

Taken!
“Big Baron Buys Up!”
but you can have “Kerry Pressbaron”, since he married Gina and had his name changed to “Kerry Hardfaced Bitch”..
I knew a country boy named Simmer Laidlaw. Loved that name.

Please slap yourself.
I can’t reach.
Huh?
What about Dick Butkis?
Although to the best of my knowledge, nobody ever made fun of his name. At least, not while he was in the room.
Is that supposed to be funny?
I was going to go with Blinky McHornypants.
Then I decided not.
One of the funniest bits around is the Eddie Izzard riff on all of the names rejected before Gerry Dorsey settled on Engelburt Humperdink.
Slut Ben Walla (heh)
Happy, is that black shoe polish on your face?
Episode 820: Space Mutiny
One of the Sci-Fi channel episodes, so Joel was long gone.
But good news for all MSTies! Lileks is doing a top-secret project with Mike Nelson, and he even called Dick Contino (Daddy-O) the other day.
Those two should have teamed up long ago. Lileks and Mike, I mean, not Dick Contino.
Of course not. That kind of thing can get your picture on CNN.com or something.
I did not have socksual relations with that commenter, Mr. McCock.
And it’s too bad that the thread is dead now, else you would learn of the absolutely most unfortunate name in the world: German feminist Frigga Haug.
