Early Life
Edwin P. Algood was born Josef Pooshkah Algooskeff in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on September 31, 1922 to Yuskef and Yolanda Algooskeff. At the age of 15, he immigrated to the United Kingdom, where he faced much discrimination and abuse because of his race. At the age of 16, he immigrated to the United States, where he again experienced much discrimination and abuse because of his race. At the age of 17, he changed his name to Josef Pooshkah Algood. However, with the rise of Josef Stalin and the Soviet Union, he was mocked because of his name. In the year 1940, Josef changed his name to Jo Pooshkah Algood. However, as he grew older, he found it difficult to be taken seriously by his employers because of his name. Thus, at the age of 35, he changed his name to Jo Pooshkah Lot. After realizing what a terrible idea that was, he settled on the name Jo P. Lot. Two years later, Jo changed his name to Jo P. Aaa in order to be the first person listed in the phone book. He later reverted to Jo P. Alot after facing discrimination because of his name. In the year 1969, in the heat of revolution in the United States, Jo moved to a hostile in Los Angeles, and changed his middle name to "Peace". Jo Peace Alot would travel around the country declaring to people that Peace was his middle name (because it was). As the 60's ended and his wild nature died down, he decided to take on a classier name. He decided on Edwin P. Alot. In the year 1994, Edwin was reunited with his long lost uncle Jooobashehovffphz Algooskeff. In family pride he changed his last name back to Algooskeff. In 2005, he shortened it to Algood. He lives with his wife and dog in Detroit, Michigan.
