I was laughing so loudly last night reading this my husband had to come see what was so funny! He thought it was hysterical as well! Not sure I will be naming any bears Lumpy Gerbilshorts or Crusty Girdlechunks, but what fun it is. Some of the hobbit names would be cute, though. Hey, maybe that could be a fun challenge! We could use the name hobbit/ elf name creator and then make a bear to fit the name!

Captain Underpants is awesome!  I'm so glad you're all having fun with the name generator, and that the elf and hobbit generators were mentioned too (I've tried those in the past; great fun!)

I love the books; Dave Pilkey is a total genius.  They're kids books, but... not.  Here's a brief summary of the entire Captain Underpants series which I found on Wikipedia, for anyone interested:

In their spare time, George and Harold write comic books about a superhero they made up which they called Captain Underpants, hence the title of the book. This character is named after his choice of clothing including only a red cape with black polka-dots and a pair of white underwear. Their cartoon character is unexpectedly brought to life when George and Harold jokingly hypnotize Mr. Krupp, their principal, to act like Captain Underpants. To their consternation, from then on whenever somebody snaps their fingers Mr. Krupp transforms into Captain Underpants, and then turns back if water is poured over his head.

Although the books take place in the real town of Piqua, Ohio, all areas that are mentioned in the town are purely fictional. The only real fact about Piqua mentioned in the series is its location in Miami County, Ohio.

Jerome Horwitz Elementary, where most of the stories take place, is a school that condemns any comedy and pranking, yet is ironically named after Curly Howard of the Three Stooges.

These potty-mouthed books are considered very clever and funny by their target audience, and even some of their parents. The book often makes references to things from the 1970s.

The Captain Underpants books were reported by the American Library Association to be among the ten most frequently challenged books. Certain things have been included in the books as a response, including posters that advertise mindless conformity, school rules against using one's imagination, and an evil librarian who bans all but one book from the school library.

Pilkey also wrote and illustrated a book called The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, which takes the form of a comic book drawn and written by George Beard and Harold Hutchins.

In 2008 there will be a Captain Underpants movie by Warner Brothers.

One of my favorite character names in the book series was Professor Pippy Pee Pee Poopypants.

And a pic of the man himself:
