In response to BTMDs latest comment, a story about the Danimal ascension to greatness:

Setting: preschool
Cast: preschool class, parents
Plot: we had just learned about rhymes. danimal is struggling.

Teacher: "Dan, what rhymes with your name?"
Dan: "......."
Teacher: "Thats ok, think about it for a while. Chip (yes, THE Chip, who was so shy, that once the only person he invited to his birthday party was Don Shelby. Yes, THE Don Shelby.) what rhymes with your name?"
Chip: "Whip, trip, flip..."
Dan: [preparing to punch Chip in the stomach, which I was known to do back then, highlighted by the time I punched a kid in first grade at an all-school assembly so hard that he cried because we had gotten into an argument over whom in school had the oldest mom]
Teacher: "That good Chip, although you're brownnosing a little bit. How about you, Ted?"
Ted: "Red!"
Dan: [thinking feverishly]
Teacher: "Good! Now how about..."
Dan: "Ive got it! Cool dude!"
Everyone in Room: [laughing]
Dan: [beaming with pride having figured this out]
