While grocery shopping at our local supermarket I noticed a collection of small critters on a clearance shelf. As I rolled past this little fellow jumped off the shelf and landed in my basket. Somehow he made it into the shopping bag and arrived at the house. My wife expressed some dismay at my resistance to impulse purchases and banned him from most of the rooms in our home. He now resides on a shelf over my computer workstation.

The problem, of course, is that he now needs an appropriate title. He's not really "ugly" IMHO but fits in nicely with my habit of checking in here daily.

So I turn to you, my UHH community, to suggest a name, title, or other identity for the little guy.
The floor is now open for discussion!

There is an "H" on his cape, how about HARVEY. But are you sure of the gender? maybe HARRIET.

What about "Impulse". I bet you didn't know thet impulse was spelled with "H".

If it's a boy, I second sjb3's suggestion of "Harley". If it turns out to be a girl, I suggest "Heidi".

Nah, show you're ejicatid: "Macbeth"!
Before everyone burns up the electrons saying, "What?" the quote is - as I remember-"Thrice and once the hedgepig* whined," just before the better known "Round about the cauldron go..." part.

(Thanks, Mr. Stallman!)

Call him "honey" so when go to your work station you can say "hi honey". your wife will either get very jealous and start treating you better since she'll think there's someone else in the picture or throw you out of the house.
What the hell - see what happens

Our young labradoodle had a cousin to this fellow. On Sunday, he finally managed to pull the whole squeaker out of the little guy. He is more like a 'skins' now.
