I think it's a bit of thinking of her as a dog that can walk. You don't question that it can with a little training and then you profit from it as much you can.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I can not, for the life of me, think what her name is supposed to be.
Anita, isn't it?

Oh! What about all the minor women characters w/ rhyming names?? What does that mean? Or is it just a joke?
Trudy, Judy, Trooby? (or whatever Betty's SiL's name is)
I may have noticed it before but I feel like it was highlighted last night.

I think it's just that names go through trends. Just like the popular thing right now is names that end in "a".

It always possible that she had a weird nickname. Growing up, in fine New England fashion, me and my siblings were Sissy, Booey, and Tippy. These names bear no relation to our real names.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
me and my siblings were Sissy, Booey, and Tippy.
Which one were you?
