Spunk Ransom <- this is NOT a cute nickname

Just call me Ransom, SPUNK Ransom that is

Ladies...Just call me Ransom, SPUNK Ransom that is

Dear Rob-

I know that Spunk Ransom was totally something you came up with off-the-cuff during an interview and never imagined that people would take it and run like the wind with it cause I’m sure you would have thought twice about using a word that is synonymous with semen. Now, I don’t know about the rest of the world, but here in the states “Spunk” is a term for spooge, jizz, baby batter if you will! Yea, I just went there.  I have a lot of dude friends. But I can’t help it, this needs to be said, I’ve been dying to get it off my chest.

I remember the first time I saw this infamous interview where they asked about people referring to you as “RPattz” and you saying you wished you had a different name something ‘cool’ like… uh… “Spunk Ransom.” And I swear I went all Skooby Doo and said, ‘RUH? Ruh roh…he just said WHA???’ and had to rewind it like five times. Cause no one goes, “Yea I want people to call me something rad like, uh… Skeet Johnson.” You pick something like “The Boss,” or “Frank the Tank.” Duh.

So during the next mall tour (yea right) or premiere when you hear girls yelling out “Spunk” to get your attention just know that somewhere I am giggling.

  1. You guys are all hilarious!

    @Helloitslaura: Glad you caught that too. I need to go get my copy of Money and quote the scene where John is trying to convince Spunk to change his name to Spank or Hank.

  2. @robzilla – we LTR ladies are so fricking smart I can’t even stand it! I love me some Amis. And boys that read Amis. Boys named Rob… swoon… poof!

  3. ATTENTION! Spunk Ransom is taken from a book called Monkey! Robert likes that book, as well as Dennis Potter’s Ticket To Ride. I recommend for all of you to read the books :D

  4. Oh! And spunk is also… your gut… Like ”I wish I had some spunk” – that means ”I wish I was brave”

  5. [...] why did rob give the name spunk ransom? – I ask myself this question all the time cause God knows if he had time to think that one through he wouldn’t have nicknamed himself after seminal fluid [...]

  6. Aw the sweet reflexions about ancient topics.
    The evil hides in the combination, ladies. Spunk for itself – so what (ya, ya favourite book etc.). Ransom for itself – whatever. But Spunk AND Ransom.. you know.. I mean..

    He could just have called himself like “Jerk Off” or “Mr. Ejaculator” instead. Um… whatever. Right.

  7. Did you know that when Rob was in France in spring, he confirmed that he had a fake name he used in a hotel in Paris and it leaked out it was:

    Clive Handjob

    and knowing that the French do not understand a lot of English, they believed him! In a television interview in Cannes he totally confirmed it, admitting, it was a lame joke..

  8. [...] Great, uh, question! As a matter of fact I think Rob was either drunk, sleep deprived or on a 5 hour energy bender and just blurted out the first two words he could come up with. And yes he chose a word that is synonymous with seminal fluid. Yup, wrong on so many levels. See: bad idea that will never die [...]

  9. I love the way he is REALLY mulling ‘RPattz’ over, he’s really giving it some thought. As if he even had a choice any more!

  10. Yeah, he totaly took name Spunk from Amis’ book Money {Spunk Davis}
    And I believe he said he used to know a girl named Ransom (sorry can’t see the video above)
