The Seven Dwarfs meet the Southern Australian Heatwave...?
For years, the Seven Dwarfs have endured frostbite, chilblains, limb-stiffening arthritis - and Snow-White's constant ice-cold rejection of them as "real" men. And as for their names - well, monikers like Sneezy, Dopey, Doc, Sleepy, Bashful, Grumpy and Happy don't exactly pull in the women... And so last week, they decided, "Enough is enough - time for a sea-change! What the hell, you only live once!" Firstly, they gave Snow-White the flick, then decided to leave the frigid North and relocate South - to a warmer climate. "You know," said Doc, "let's go all the way, and change our names!" - His suggestion was duly met with unanimous approval. "So where should we move to?" asked Grumpy, the hint of a smile curving his mouth for the first time in decades. "Well," Happy glanced up from the newspaper, open at the travel section, "air-fares to South Australia look pretty good at the moment. How about it, guys?" "South Australia!" the other six whooped, visions of tanned, long-limbed Aussie beach-babes stirring their excitement. "Adelaide! Hey-ho! Here we come!" And so they were on the next flight to Adelaide. Unfortunately, in their excitement, they hadn't bothered to listen to the news, and had absolutely no idea that southern Australia was in the grip of its worst heatwave on record - days and days of searing 100+ degrees. It was so hot that their hob-nail boots literally melted on the footpaths as they trudged about, desperately hunting for a house to rent, somewhere cool to shelter them from the ferocious heat. They found a dear little cottage in the Adelaide Hills - not unlike the one they'd shared back in the snowy North - but the landlord needed seven names - and FAST. New names!!! The seven poor little men were so utterly dazed with heat and jet-lag...words describing their extreme discomfort coursed through their molten minds. Sweaty, Sticky, Oozy, Smelly, Steamy... The burning question (pardon the pun) - which seven "heatwave-inspired" names did the Seven Dwarfs actually decide on? Have fun! Cheers, Hafwen.

snow white and the seven dwarves was a story that was put into written form by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. They didn't write it, they were just the editors of the anthology. Walt Disney did not write the story. The dwarves did not have names in the story. The story is about what we COULD BE, if we penetrated a higher state of consciousness (snow white) as opposed to what we actually are (one of seven basic BODY TYPES, that is, a DWARF) the wicked witch was false personality. Something that was violently opposed to our self actualization of achieving higher consciousness. In the most general of terms, it's our imaginary picture of ourself. When Snow White took a bite of the poison apple, she FELL ASLEEP. Which is what we are. We live our entire lives ASLEEP. Waking up SHOULD be our number one goal. But we are so asleep, we think we're awake. Thus we never make the necessary efforts to wake up. And we die without ever finding out our true role in life.

The options are limitless but I'm going to go with these. Dusty Prickly Itchy Cranky Thirsty Homesick and, yes, Happy, because I love the heat and it's the dead of nasty winter here in Minnesota, USA. Good luck to you on surviving your weather, I'm sure we'll both make it through!

Since they hadn't considered their names beforehand, they went with whatever came to mind. Sneezy became Cloudburst, because he looked like he'd been in a downpour. Dopey, not being the brightest bulb, decided on Yepod. (Well, he couldn't think of anything else, and the others wouldn't go for Outofhere.) Doc told Sleepy he looked almost comatose at this point. Sleepy thought that would be a good name, but he was too tired to say the entire word and he had difficulty enunciating. His name sounded like Comma, and that's what stuck. Bashful wanted Rosie, but an argument ensued, so he settled on Red to match his complexion. Grumpy, though he actually liked the fact that everyone else was miserable, shortened his name to Rum, since he thought he could use some about now. (Sure, he knew alcohol can make you hotter, but he figured if he had enough of it, he would no longer care.) Happy was too wet and stinky to be glad anymore, so he changed his name to Tetchy. As for Doc, he decided the whole thing was an adventure, so he called himself Indiana Jones. The others ridiculed him so much that he rethought it and came up with Pioneer. He wasn't satisfied, but he was philosophical about it. They are all hoping for a cool breeze and a decrease in temperature - as am I, for you.

"Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, and Sheila." ... a nod to Monty Python; wish I could have thought of something from a skit from the Paul Hogan Show.

Doc became Feverish Bashful - Tropical Sneezy - Steamy Grumpy - Sultry Dopey typically kept forgetting to shower so became known as Stinky very quickly. Happy being a believer in the power of positive suggestion became Chilly. Sleepy's problems were only exasperated, fixed in a permanent state of "Stupor",this being the name the others eventually settled on for him. (Although CK1's explanation & choice of "Comma" was the best)

Hafwen, you've done it again. Your brilliantly entertaining questions always put a smile on my face. So I hope that by answering your question, maybe I'll put a smile on your face too. Doc - Hotty Happy - Crampy Sleepy - Melty Sneezy - Weazy Grumpy - Sunny Bashful - Rashful Dopey - Drunky :)
