We've all done it..... used a silly baiting name, or that of a well known celebrity etc when speaking to our lads. Because you KNOW they'll recycle them and a real vic should spot it.

My current one is Patrick Bateman (The character played by Christian Bale in American Phsycho). I like it because of the "Bait Man" connotations. I've sent lads pictures of Pat in the business suit, which seemed to work well in gaining business trust. Less succesful were the pictures I sent where Pat is wielding a blood soaked axe.

But what film star / singer / dirty name have you become in order to lead your lad on a merry dance and potentially warn real victims?

I'd say so far a tossup between Rod Dent and Barry Emalive.

I use and send pictures of Terry Pratchett if they ask for them. It is a bit silly but is fun.

I'm fond of the names, and anyone who watches LOST will recognize them instantly. Laughing

1wana Cherk0ff.
I like the name because it makes sense with or without my middle name (Dudeto) and even when shortened to an icherk0ff@... e-mail address.

But that's probably only because I'm a dirty old man. Smile

My alter ego's name is Yoseem N. Stan3s.

Past0r G0rd0n Sp0t aka Past0r G. Sp0t and his sidekick Past0r T0wn Sells.

I considered a character who happens to be the driver for a very rich man (which is where he might get the money for a lad's modality), a Russian gent named Pikup Andropoff. Another could be a professional makeup artist to a famous celebrity named Bud Tugly. And of course, the law firm with the most dubious reputataion in history, Dewey, Chetham and Howe.

and stand out. I have others but don't want to promote them too much.

I wouldn't know Christian Bale if he smacked me in the face. Crying or Very sad

^^^He's the new Batman!!! Christian Bale is a great actor, American Psycho, Reign of Fire, and Batman Begins are the big things he has done.

Edit: I knew I was forgetting one other big film of his The Prestige.

Currently using the main character from Back to the Future. Got his scientist friend and his father's tormenter in the wings as needed.

Stephen Colbert
Jon Stewart
John Oliver
Michael Corleone
David Howell Evans (aka The Edge from U2)
Stephan Edberg (I had to think of a real name to use for my Swedish Chef bait, and he was the only Swedish guy I could think of)

Stephen Colbert has been the most successful. Michael Corleone baits always seem to last only a short time, but have had some interesting results so far.

It's funny that all my baiting characters are men and I'm a woman Confused

. An issue for baiting psychology 101 perhaps Laughing

My previous post was maybe too obtuse. Me being that sort of person. The point I was trying to make, indirectly, is that, for example, not everybody in the world knows who Tom Cruise is. Most American's haven't heard of David Beckham...yet.
