As I said ...I can hear it coming... I, indeed, stand corrected!...and I'm sure your "significant other" will get a chance to prove me wrong, as well...  ...buckets of patience for everyone...

How about Wallis Simpson and the Duke of Windsor?

we're writing a show, ultimately for performance 8 weeks down the road
Hey, Fiberbabe ... how about letting us know what pairs you decided on? And perhaps a few snippets? You could post them in the Off Word Post Em Here thread which is sinking slowly Sigh.(I tried, AnnaS!)
wow

No problem, wow. My intention is to upload the scene's script to Max's driveway.com (scratch that... make it myspace.com) account, then notify via this thread when it's available for viewing. Knowing what I know about this theatre (not to mention my potty-mouthed classmates), the script is bound to be brimming with profanity, so here's the early forewarning for our gentler-dispositioned readers... I may refute that assertion later, but I do promise I'll post when the script is complete and ready for public consumption!

>but not Chuck? What gives?
Funny isn't it? We just don't ever seem to use that particular abbreviation for Charles. I remember "Dame Edna" interviewing Charlton Heston and making him wear a big hand written badge with "Chuck" written on it, I'd never heard the word used as a name.
It may be that in the North of England (Coronation Street country), everyone is called "chuck",like "luv" it is just an everyday term of endearment. In the Midlands, particularly around Nottingham the word would be "duck". In the North East it would be "hen".

I come to this thread as a sort of Johnny come lately, but it seems that all have overlooked co-megalomaniacs Juan and Eva Peron. Also, and may I be forgiven for a slightly mixed metaphor, Eve and Adam???

jmh, I addressed my three-year-old as "baby ducks" the other day and was promptly corrected: "I'm not baby ducks! I'm Robert!" So much for that endearment...

This is a bit off the original topic (which never, ever happens around here), but I had this lying around and felt this was the opportunity to post it. Brace yourself - these get a bit weird.
If Yoko Ono married Sonny Bono, she'd be Yoko Ono Bono.
If Dolly Parton married Salvador Dali, she'd be Dolly Dali.
If Bo Derek married Don Ho, she'd be Bo Ho.
If Oprah Winfrey married Depak Chopra, she'd be Oprah Chopra.
If Cat Stevens married Snoop Doggy Dogg, hey! it's the '90's!, he'd be
Cat Doggy Dogg.
If Olivia Newton-John married Wayne Newton, then divorced him to marry
Elton John, she'd be Olivia Newton-John Newton John.
If Sondra Locke married Elliott Ness, then divorced him to marry Herman
Munster, she'd become Sondra Locke Ness Munster.
If Bea Arthur married Sting, she'd be Bea Sting.
If Liv Ullman married Judge Lance Ito, then divorced him and married
Jerry Mathers, she'd be Liv Ito Beaver.
If Snoop Doggy Dogg married Winnie the Pooh, he'd be Snoop Doggy Dogg
Pooh.
How about a baseball marriage? If Boog Powell married Felipe Alou, he'd
be Boog Alou.
If G. Gordon Liddy married Boutros-Boutros Ghali, then divorced him to
marry Kenny G., he'd be G. Ghali G.
Nog (Quark's brother on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine") has no other name,
so he uses it twice when getting a marriage license. IF he married
Howard Hughes, and then Pamela Dare, he'd be Nog Nog Hughes Dare.
If Shirley Jones married Tom Ewell, then Johnny Rotten, then Nathan Hale,
she'd be Shirley Ewell Rotten Hale.
If Jack Handy (SNL writer) married Andy Capp, then married Jack Paar,
then moved on to Stephen King, he'd be Jack Handy Capp Paar King.
If Javier Lopez married Keiko the whale, and Edith Piaf married Rose Tu
the elephant, they would be Javier Keiko and Edith Tu.
If Ivana Trump married, in succession, Orson Bean (actor), King Oscar (of
Norway), Louis B. Mayer (of MGM), and Norbert Wiener (mathematician), she
would then be Ivana Bean Oscar Mayer Wiener.
If Woody Allen married Natalie Wood, divorced her and married Gregory
Peck, divorced him and married Ben Hur, he'd be Woody Wood Peck Hur.
If Dolly Parton married Tommy Smothers, then went even further back in
show business and married Mr. Lucky, then divorced and married Martin
Short, then divorced and married football kicker Ray Guy, we could all
nod understandingly when we heard, "Dolly Parton Smothers Lucky Short
Guy."
