Oscar Sissle
First of all, I ought to explain how this name came about and the effect it has had on me. I have a incorrigible tendency to bounce in and out of various foreign accents when speaking. Unfortunately, there is no secret formula for determining which I might use at a certain time because I don't often use the same accent twice. Usually, I will be holding an innocent conversation with an unsuspecting acquaintance when she'll say a phrase that reminds me of a trip to an Indian restaurant, or my tenth grade math teacher from Alabama, or that one time when I went to that place and saw that thing that was manufactured by that person who's grandfather belonged to a Japanese cult. Anyway, I had a habit of using a certain accent repeatedly in conversation with a close friend. She, lovingly, pointed out my lapse in my one-time-use policy toward accents and bestowed a name that she deemed fitting for the accent. The result was a character, one Oscar Sissle, that I will probably end up writing a science fiction novel about when I'm eighty, wiser, and actually like science fiction. This accent, from the feedback I have gathered from this friend, has the tone of the Norwegian chef from the muppets mixed with a toddler's lisp and Indian royalty.
