My daughter, when she was about 2, had an imaginary friend named Ghost. It was very eerie. She would look up from her high chair and say "Ghost here!" and I swear, things would sway a little. When we moved, Ghost didn't come with us.

Popp Topp and the Six-Packs.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you said imaginary band. (which will probably be coming around shortly, so I'll just wait for it)

Mine was Bob Edison. He had a friend named Hock, but I didn't like Hock much.

I had an imaginary puppy named Probably. I carried him around in my pocket and would sit him next to my plate at dinner so he could eat. If someone asked why he was named Probably, I would tell them because he was probably a puppy.

I remember none of this, but mom tells me about once a month or so.

Not_Dreamsign (or whatever you're called)
Dungeon Master (just for the reaction)
Fetch (if you're good at sleight of hand)

That is a great story, mygothlaundry.

Mine were a dynamic duo named Joney and Jones. That's about all I remember about them.

Mine was named Lump-Lump. She had a friend named Chaga.

No, that was the whole point of offering "Scorpius". Seemed funny at the time.
