Hey everybody!

Let’s get right to it, shall we?  O.k.

Earlier this week I made eight phone calls.  Those eight phone calls were to the Mayor and every member of City Council. 

What was I calling about, exactly?  Term limits?  Surprise birthday party for Ann Erdman?  Measure D complaints?  Inviting them to Pleasures for lunch?

Not really.  I just had two simple questions.  The first question was “What was the name of your first pet?”  The second question was “What was the name of the first street you grew up on?”  I received only seven replies, most likely due to the fact one Councilmember is probably out of town or something.  I even got a reply from Steve Madison - whom I quickly cut off before he went into some tirade about how I had a “relapse” of making fun of him.  Also Victor Gordo wanted me to let you all know that Lena Kennedy isn’t running against him in `09 - because “she told [him] that herself.”  (Edit:  Also forgot to mention - I didn’t speak with Bill, but I spoke with his wife, Claire.  She knew what street he grew up on and she used their first pet’s name.)

Anyone who is Internet or urban legend savvy (which seemed to only be one of the Councilmembers) knows those two questions usually produce the answer to a meme known as “What is your porn star name?”

Some of the names are downright hilarious.  Without further suspense, here are the results:

PASADENA CITY COUNCIL PORN STAR NAMES

 

Mayor Bill Bogaard

Porn Star Name:  Sophocles Westfourth

 

Jacque Robinson 

Porn Star Name:  Bingo Howard

 

Chris Holden

Porn Star Name:  Spot Summit

 

Steve Haderlein

Porn Star Name:  Bruno Paloma

Victor Gordo

Porn Star Name:  Brandy Corson

 

Steve Madison

Porn Star Name:  Osa Morse

 

Sid Tyler

Porn Star Name:  Socky Lane

Update: City of Pasadena PIO Ann Erdman

Porn Star Name:  Missy Valencia

The funniest thing about asking all of those questions is the only person who caught on to my little project was Bingo Howard.  It just goes to show you that youth isn’t such a bad thing when it comes to the Crown City’s politics after all.

Speaking of Mayor Sophocles and the gang, they had a meeting on Monday.  Dormitas did some excellent coverage over at his blog.  Their new porn star names must give “blow-by-blow” a whole new meaning.

Thanks to Dormitas, I can also update my much-needing-updating Fantasy City Council scores (or as some call it, “The Proctor Cup”):

Western Conference

It’s an interesting contest, especially when that pesky “Aaron Proctor Scoring System” comes into play.

I’ll be back tomorrow (hopefully!) with more shenangians from the Crown City.

Big up to the Dena.
