Your 1920's Name is:
Leonardo Ulysses What's Your 1920's Name? Alfalfa for certain as he is the King of the Crooners. anyone who has the title of the King or Queen of something without having any real political power. Pappy (Popeye's dad) would be a fun drinkin buddy i think. Marlene Deitrich might be nice on a date if she wasn't dead and all. Snuffalopagus would be cool. Maybe Pee Wee Herman especially in a darkened movie house. drunken clowns, vagabond musicians, warrior poets, painters, schizophrenic street prophets, revolutionaries with a sense of the absurd, anyone who won't grow up, cooks who can prepare a feast from a USDA foodbox, creepy puppeteers, dirty old men and women, the inventor of the wingtip, anyone who isn't overly predictable, self-absorbed, saturated in a belief system, nor apathetic and nihilistic. like eccentric, passionate, humourous, compassionate wingnuts. ..god bless you Tom Browning.. .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" ..
