More Honorable Mentions from Week 617 of The Style Invitational, in which entrants had to write about a famous personage using only the letters in the person's name:

Neil Armstrong: Not long ago, I'm in a sim trainer going nine G's. Imagine it, nine G's! -- I'm a man's man! So, I tell 'em I'm raring to go, again. Not so smart, see. Later on, all alone, I lose it in a latrine! Still, I'm as eager as a sailor on a rising sea, so NASA treats me to a mission to man's largest satellite: Moon. I'm game. . . . It's nearing T-time, so I settle in, set toggles, test signals, ignite engines. In no time at all, I'm going, going, gone! I soar among a million stars. It's great! Time goes on. I see I'm almost in range, so I ease Eagle, in slo-mo, settling in a mare ("sea" in moon lingo). In a rare moment, it's all me, so I start orating, "One small . . . one giant . . ." Rats! I'm losing it -- senior moment. Google it. Gotta go, it's Geritol time. (Kyle Hendrickson, Frederick)

Paris Hilton has all that hair, is tall, thin, a porn star (sorta). Still, Paris isn't all that hot. (Russell Beland, Springfield)

James Dobson, the conservative minister: O God, omens bode bad mojo, so end dames' boob, abdomen and nose jobs, bobbed manes and jeans on demon bods. Ban moans on beds, Onan men and Sodom sods. And damn Bob Jones. Amen. (Peter Metrinko, Chantilly)

Alfred Kinsey: Kinky freaks, randy elders, desireless ladies, afraid fairies, self-diddlers -- I seen all kinds. (Brendan Beary, Great Mills)

Arnold Schwarzenegger: A rare ego, a shrewd career. A lecher, he ogles gals galore, and lewd hands anger gals (careless!). Gals endanger win; so he does Leno: Leno endorses, enhances news angle. Snares win: Arrogance rewarded. (Jane Auerbach, Los Angeles)

Gwyneth Paltrow: New year. Pregnant. What now, "Pear"? (Judith Cottrill, New York)
Terri Schiavo: The harsh rhetoric, the "Save Terri" services, the rosaries, the crosses, the "she sees"/"she hears" theories, the tests, the irate voices, the threats, the hoots, the cheers, the chaos, the sheer theatrics, the heartache, the horror. These are over. She's at rest. (Chris Doyle)

George Donner: Deer gone. Dog gone. Gorged on Roger. Doggone good! (Elwood Fitzner, Valley City, N.D.)

Alice Roosevelt Longworth: She's not the chilliest girl on the Hill. Oh no, she's a riot. All want to watch how she chitchats with the social elite: her strong insights, how she nails the overweening, how she groans at all Washington inanities. She wastes no chances to view all with her laser lorgnette
