Name Tags of the Damned No. 04

Spotted in Quik-Lo: ALVESTER (male)

There is a quaint custom among some Americans (usually those found in the Deep South), of combining the parents' names into some awe-inspiring juxtaposition when designing an original appellation for their offspring. One could then presume that Alvester had two fathers, Alvin and Sylvester... one a singing chipmunk, and the other a black & white cat with a big red nose and a lisp. Or not.

Okay, so Opie's mom was Oprah? Who was the dad?

Sun Ra, o' course. His own big bad self.

I always thought Opie's real dad was Emmett.

Pissposh has his roots tangled. Ra was Oprah's faddah, of course. Her muddah? Opossum.

Opie's father is obvious: Penis. I should know.

Opie's father is Odie, or is that actually Oprah's father?

Wasn't it episode 238 in which Barney noted that his mother's name was Barbara and his father's name was Knee-Hi?
