My two sons have been huge fans of Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants books for many years now -- and I've enjoyed reading them out loud a lot myself.
But, until just five minutes ago, I wasn't aware that the Name-Change-O-Chart 2000 from Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants (*) was available online, for immediately third-grade snickering fun. (I learned this from Alison Morris, who blogs about children's books for Publishers Weekly.)
Anyway, I'm now declaring this a meme, if anyone wants to follow me.
My Captain Underpants name is...Stinky Chucklebuns!
What's yours?
(*) Professor Pippy P. Poopypants, to you.
