Are they something like Harlequin and Columbine?
Or, perhaps, one of my favourite comedy acts --
The Bickersons[*]?

What the heck. *I can just Google it.

I must warn you, Tom, the tale of Abelard and Heloise is not for the
squeamish. First of all there is this sensitive love story, which a
great big manly cyclist might find far, far too soppy. Then there is
the wicked uncle who-- man, this is a newsgroup people's children
might see. If despite this reminder you insist on googling Abelard and
Heloise, don't say I didn't warn you!

Keep your thumbs clear of the bricks.

All that expensive education -- and I know all about twelfth century
lovers!

Mark Twain recounts the story of Abelard and Heloise
in The Innocents Abroad, in as well as his soul
wrenching visit to Adam's tomb. [sniff]
