The current commercial for the vegetable-peeling gloves marketed as “Tater Mitts” never ceases to remind me of the episode of “That '70s Show” where Kelso slips on some mashed potatoes in the lunchroom and slides into a support pole, “totally racking himself.”

For the rest of the episode, everyone called him **Tater Nuts**.

Something about that just cracks me up…Tater Nuts. Heeheehee…

I’m still regretting that I didn’t choose **geegaw**. I guess it’s up for grabs.

Is **Slartyblartfast** taken yet?

**Vote for Pedro**  
**Yossarian** , or **Yo-Yo’s Roomies** for that matter.  
**Jerry Cruncher**

Okay, they’re all characters from movies/books, so I’ll stop listing them.

Or _Hill Street Blues_ fans.

I have thought of changing my name to this in real life. Buck Naked, M.D. would look cool on a nameplate outside my door, plus opening up whole new dimensions in walk-in traffic.

In the realm of botanical usernames, you can’t go wrong when you go Latin.

**Amorphophallus** and **Datura** could be the SDMB’s next power couple.

**Nimrod Wildfire** was a [character](http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/DETOC/sw/paulding.html) based on Davy Crockett in an extremely popular play in the 1830s. If I were to rechoose a username it would probably be that.

I also like **Precious Deluxe** and **Wendell Potato** , the names a friend’s 5 year old gave to his stuffed-bear and pet turtle respectively. The kid has a bright future naming drag queens and cartoon characters.

I distinctly recall a black guy waving his arms in the station house and shouting:

_"I’m buck **NAKEDDDD…"** _  
This being World Series time, we should not overlook the potential for baseball-inspired usernames. I like

**Merkle’s Boner  
Snodgrass’s Muff**

and of course there are classic ballplayer names such as

**Urban Shocker  
Suitcase Bob Seeds**

plus plays including

\*\*Forced at Second  
Hidden Ball Trick \*\*and  
**Going Yard**

**Alice O’Forethought** is still up for grabs.

I think of these all the time. Then when I need to remember them, like now, they’re gone. I need to start writing them down!

I thought of this thread a couple of weeks ago, and I had a short list of names I thought would be perfect. Then life happened and by the time I got to posting this, the list was down to one. _sigh_
