We are celebrities now and it's about time we settled on our celebrity couple name. You know, like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were "Bennifer," Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are "TomKat," and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are "Brangelina."

"Okay," I said, "there's only one option left: 'DoMike.'"
"'Do Mike?'"
I whispered, "'DoMike.'"

"You want a banana sandwich?"
