Hi Guys,

I bought half a pint of lively maggots last night but my wife is not too fond of them so I have bought them to work with me. As the little fella's are gonna be sharing my desk for the next few days a certain amount of man/maggot bonding is inevitable so I thought I'd give them names. Obviously I can't name all 478 of them myself so I'm offering you guys the opportunity to name them. I had even considered an adoption scheme like they do in zoo's where I would send you pictures of your maggot with a monthly newsletter on his progress....however I wouldn't want any of you to get attached to your riggly little buddy then have to send your first newsletter featuring graphic images of your newly emerged fly having his face chewed off by one of my mantids! I guess I could always give you the chance to beg for your maggots life........ :?

Bring on those names......

Thanks for your help fello maggoters,

Alan

 
Good choice Dave....I'll pick you out a nice one.

Also, as a special introductory offer to my very first maggot-namer....I will honour you by naming one after you!

Maggot 1. Englebert

Maggot 2. PseudoDave

and I'm gonna bagsy maggot 3 as Marvin!

Maggot 3. Marvin

 
omg this is weird...although i can't help smiling :)

erm...

Bruce / Spike / Ian :D (the smallest one) / Xavier / Jonah or Ahab (cos it's gonna get eaten eventually) / SQUISHY!!!

ok, 6 is my lucky number so there's my 6... but if i can only have one I want SQUISHY :D

 
The story so far......

Maggot 1. Englebert

Maggot 2. PseudoDave

Maggot 3. Marvin

Maggot 4. Philogene

Maggot 5. Maggie

Maggot 6. Squishy

Some other good suggestions their infinity, I think I'll save some of them for when I have kids.....maybe not Ian the micro maggot though (You two must be close?!?!). Squishy is all yours though....Aww....he's sniffy Philogene's butt!

 
Maggot 7. Wannabepupa

Cheers Yen! At this rate all the stinky little blighters are gonna have names before they meet the big mantis in the sky!
