I may put Lord British into my next game.

He'll be a crazy old man who insists people call him Lord

and he'll live in a mansion he insists people call Britannia Manor.

He'll be super crazy.

that's because you're an uncreative prattledonkey

buddy.

;D

But General Jenkins sounds so right...
There are better General's out there than Jenkins. Jenkins won't inspire fear and loyalty in the troops. Not like...General Ironside or something like that.
What if it was "General Cannon Fodder"?
Well that sounds more like you're referencing the rank and file of the troops, you know, "these people are the general cannon fodder." rather than a Leader of Men. If you shortened it to "General Cannon" you might be getting somewhere, though the penis jokes might be a bit too much.

On the note of funny army names, a friend told me a story about his cousin's first day at boot camp.

All the new recruits (including my friend's cousin) are all lined up waiting for their Sergeant. Said sergeant strolls out, paces up and down in front of them before stopping and saying.
"I am your Staff/Drill/whatever Sergeant. My name is Mike Hunt. You have twenty seconds to laugh about that and then I never want to see so much as a smirk about it!"
They exploded into laughter and then on the *dot* they all stopped. It was one of those things you sort of expect in a comedy sketch, except it happened in real life.

I always use someone named Guildencrantz in my fictions, from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. I just like the name, I find it to be normal enough for people to not think of it as too wierd, but strange enough for people to take a second look.

You know, the general in Afganistan (last I heard) looking for Bin Laden was General Hunt Downer.

Ugu arose one day when I wanted to give my characters an encounter that they had to run from.

Too often I fell into the trap of letting my players run the game, and as such, it was usually too simple.. I'd try to kill them, but for some reason, it never worked.

then came Ugu.. and when the players beheld the sight of him, from his gigantic axe wielded in one hand, to his ridiculously oversized towershield, which happened to be a barn door, it was clear he was not one to be trifled with.

He has since appeared in my friends games, sometimes even as an ally (if the players are feeling fiendish enough... and we were.)

I had a shirt saying "Leroy Jenkins" and I didn't know what the reference was for ages... Isn't that disgraceful?

Why would you buy a shirt that said "Leroy Jenkins" without knowing what it meant?

I always thought he was the British butler...
No, that's Jeeves.
In the Anomaly [http://www.hyperdeathbabies.com/index.php?dir=anomaly&comic=1] comics it's Jenkins.
Jeeves, of the Jeeves and Wooster books, is the archetype upon whom all butlers since are based. All of them. Without exception

I didn't buy it. My mum did. My friend saw me wearing it and laughed and I didn't know why so he explained it to me...

I wonder where that shirt went...

I had not realised that Jenkins from Mass Effect might be a possible homage to Leeroy Jenkins. Ironically, every time I start a new game now, I think of him as Ensign Ricky from that Family Guy parody of Star Treks' redshirts.

Not every Jenkins Dies. Take for example, Jinkins, The Bith from SW: Jedi Starfighter. Okay, he's not A Jenkins, but he's close enough.
