Ever since he changed his name, I've had this massive massive blind spot. It wasn't until he played Nada that it registered in my brain: "Oh Marine, like Terran Marine and not like Marine World". I guess I just thought it was something like Ocean King and didn't translate well.
Did this happen to anyone else or was this a unique form of brain damage?

" @Noodles: Oh Fauxer, okay. thanks man. "Yup! Same here, Noodles. I thought real Boxer might have changed his name.
" When I read the thread title I thought of Seaking the pokemon. "... maybe that's where my brain was.
