I think it was a blitz game on the IRC channel, and I don't think Gandalf played in it. It's been quite some time and I can't remember the details, so I'm not sure where I got the inspiration for that.

Heh, I just remembered that when I played few of those blitz games, I consumed ridiculous amounts of tea (with extra sugar) to be able to play with the people 10 timezones away. I think it was all the extra sugar that made me come up with the silly names.
Besides Devourer of Apples the Manticore and Lord of the Seven Teas the Heavenly General, I had a R'lyeh pretender with checkboxes and triangles in its name... I got them by writing ÿ, û, õ, ì and other accented vocals. Sometimes I got nothing, sometimes symbols like the up/down adjustment keys used in tax and PD screens.
