For those of you who were a fan of Gloyd, I present some of my collection of names of actual human children who wrote Dear Santa letters in 1920s/30s Oklahoma.

These aren’t all necessarily “weirder than Gloyd” but fall into three rough categories which I’ve dubbed: “that’s got a nice ring to it”, “if I used this in a novel it would be considered too unrealistic” and “you’ve got 5 seconds to name a character that lives in 1920s Oklahoma, GO!”:

I have some other stories to add to the collection, thank you AI for your imagination. Party hard and stop criminals while in a town in Murcia, Spain? Call your European leaders!

And of course there's the one with the haunted house:

Not an AI writing a story about Emmanuel Macron's secret Twitter account and calling it Le Chat Français.

By the way, he's said to have at least one secret Twitter handle.

Unindentified for the moment.
