Remembering Names

Pete gets very annoyed when you do not know the names of the characters on his TV shows. Not just the main characters, but also the monkey, the monkey's robot, the monkey's robot's cousin who is visiting for the weekend, etc. So I like to annoy him by saying stuff like "hey, that yellow dog is being mean to that guy". Then he pauses the show, slowly turns to me, and says "hel-LO, the dog is Corneil and the guy is Bernie". I can make smoke come out of his ears by saying "hey, that yellow Sponge guy isn't listening to the pink starfish" or "wow, that red dog is bigger than that house".

Of course, Pete inherited the ability to remember names from Christy. If she could harness this ability for remembering military targets, we could make a fortune from the US government. Example, I'll walk into the room during Law and Order and say "hey, that bailiff looks oddly familiar" and she'll say "it's Blake Clark. Don't you remember, he played Wally in St. Elmo's Fire and the security guard in Corky Romano".
