Disclaimer: Duh.
This came, unbidden, into my head as I walked back to my dorm after my
Philosophy final. For those who care, it was Univ. of MD PHIL140:
Contemporary Moral Issues.
(Ranbert is in his cubicle)
Ranbert: <The cubical martial artist prepares for battle! Fighting,
fighting, against the overwhelming boredom!>
(Flash to home. He's standing, Nabikidogbert is sitting on the couch.)
Ranbert: When my grandchildren ask me what I did to earn a living, I'm
going to lie.
Nabikibert: I usually just sell people the information that you're a hobo.

_Ukyobert The Okonomiyaki Cook and Consultant_
Pointy-haired Genma: I am under the spell of your consulting and cooking
spell!
Ukyobert: Really? So if I tell you to let me marry Ranma, you would?
PHG: Your overly good cooking, and roundabout argument have convinced me of
your superiority. I'm afraid to act without your approval.
Ukyobert: Did I say you could speak?
---------------------------
So anyway, here's where someone could go with this idea. I'm never touching
it again with a ten-foot pole. It is perhaps the scariest thing I've
thought of all day. I mean, here's the characters...
Ranbert = Ranma + Dilbert
Nabikidogbert = Nabiki + Dogbert (nothing really changes)
Ukyobert = Ukyo + Ratbert
Akalice = Akane + Alice (must...control...mallet...of...death!)
Wallyoga = Ryoga + Wally
Pointy-haired Genma = PHB + Genma
Pointy-haired Soun = PHB + Soun
Shamsock = Shampoo + Asok the intern
World's Smartest Martial Arts Garbagwoman = Cologne + Garbageman
Happycatbert = Happosai + Catbert
Mousse the Dinoduck = Mousse + Bob the Dinosaur
Okay. I'm gonna go now. Back to writing real things.
