Also Known As

You may not realize this (especially if you work for Pier 1 Imports), but Nessa Roo is not my real name. Well, the "Nessa" part is real, but the "Roo" part is simply a musical note you sing at the end.


I found this mailer in my mail box today.

I have no idea how Pier 1 matched this imaginary name to my actual address, but there you have it.

You know what this means, don't you?


(I have an alias.)

  1. HA!

    I had a woman that worked for me that would always use a fake last name whenever she had to fill out anything insignificant... returns at stores, open house tours, brief surveys.... that way when the mailings came (and they always did) she'd look at the last name. If it was her "alias" she could just throw it away.

    It goes without saying that her full time job was a mail lady. :)

    1. That sounds like a great idea! But I'd rather my alias be something completely bizarre, like "Felonia Strumpet."

    2. How about Regina Falange? (Funny only if you ever watched Phoebe on Friends)

      No lie though, on Saturday I delivered a package to someone named Fu@k Offloser. I hope to God it was a teenager that ordered that book from ebay. :)

  2. That's fantastic! You realize, having an alias, you can now go and fight crime...or commit it.

  4. Indeed, they have comming and going.
    Homeland security will be along shortly as we are only allowed one name each -- for their convenience.

    Duck the suckers and head for the hills!

  5. Nothing wrong with having an 'Also known as' name. It will come in handy when you're famous.

  6. Ha! That's funny! You can trademark that you know, start charging for its use... unless it's already taken, of course. ;)

  7. That's weird. If I got some business mail with my alias on it I'd be a bit paranoid.
