E. “Doc” Smith in a parody of his own work, the Lensman sci-fi series. And I get a kick out of a bunch of names here. Struuter, SwimmingRiddles, Ssskuugii, and a dozen others that I can’t recall all tickle my fancy. It doesn’t hurt that they’re all wimmen, either! ---

Well, thanks Ralf! Gotta say that I didn’t expect to see myself on this list. So you’ve brightened my day 🙂 ---

I was happy to see that **Chance the Gardener** has joined us. Although I suppose I should be addressing him as Chauncey Gardiner. ---

Lola Granola. I know this person (m/f?) is not new–some 500 posts, actually–but I am a huge fan of Berkely Breathed (author of the comics “Bloom County”, “Outland”, and “The Meadows”[among others, possibly?]), and, for those of you who don’t know/remember, in “Bloom County”, Lola Granola was Opus’ girlfriend. Makes me consider changing my screen name to Kushy Bimbolino… ---

I’m dying to know if he chose the character from one of my favorite books, 'Little, Big.'** ‘Little, Big’ is without question the single most beautiful book I have ever read. Gotta visit Edgewood again real soon. See if old George still has any of that fine hashish left for me. 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by struuter \* > \*\*Well, thanks Ralf! Gotta say that I didn’t expect to see myself on this list. So you’ve brightened my day 🙂 \*\* You’re welcome, Struuter! With that name, I get a mental image of you in a Vegas show-girl costume… long, long feathers in a headpiece that could be used to clean chandeliers, about two quarts of strategically placed rhinestones and glitter, red spiked heels, and a million-dollar smile! Of course, you’re probably a soccer mom in Des Moine, right? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cool-new-screen-names-intriguing-question-mark/31599.md?page=1)
