To the last question: definitely! Is it at all funny? After I wrote it my mind wandered without my permission and coughed up something even worse: "Imma chargin Eleizer" and "Allstar Leizer and Robin the Man Handsom" but I told it those just sounded dumb and the latter would only amuse Frank Miller haters, while the former wouldn't amuse anyone... I have a habit of doing that: the nickname I gave JoshuaZ was (based on JoshuaZ's Judaism, Biblical!Joshua's "badass" status... and the Z at the end...) "The Super Scion of Zion".

He liked it, or so he told me.

Check the spelling, though, and note that he pronounces it "el-ee-EHZ-er".

Yes, I know, but since jokes, no matter how affectionate, are about irrationality in the first place, I think those sacrificies are necessary. Plus, the only puns I can think up on "Eliezer" pronounced right are in French and Spanish.
