Well I’m generally not one to focus on this shit, but for some reason this caught my eye. I felt like taking notice of it, and since the MB has been FUBAR for me all weekend I’m going to indulge in some really mundane stuff :).

The user **¦:•)** is the best username I’ve seen since _Imthecowgodmoo_. Maybe I’m high, but I think its cool.

OK, back to being a adult for a while.

I think 😃 has a cool username.

BTW, shouldn’t this be in IMHO?

I like that user name too, Omni, but I think I like the simpler :D, sometimes less is more. Now I pose a question to these users, how shall we pronounce their names, so far in my mind the one I mentioned is smiley, the one Omni likes is ‘busy smiley’. ??

No, its the big round nose that I like.

I’m not sure how I’ll pronounce it, maybe I’ll just make a face.

Maybe ¦:•) is {:-Df 's brother? and 😃 is their cousin?

Since I always pronounced {:-Df as Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern -schplenden -schlitter -crasscrenbon -fried -digger -dingle -dangle -dongle -dungle -burstein -von -knacker - thrasher -apple -banger -horowitz -ticolensic -grander -knotty -spelltinkle -grandlich -grumblemeyer -spelterwasser - kurstlich -himbleeisen -bahnwagen -gutenabend -bitte -ein -nürnburger -bratwustle -gerspurten -mitz -weimache - auuber -hundsfut -gumberaber -shönendanker-kalbsfleisch -mittler -aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm,

Maybe you pronounce ¦:•) as Sebastian Gambolputty de von Ausfern -schplenden -schlitter -crasscrenbon -fried -digger -dingle -dangle -dongle -dungle -burstein -von -knacker - thrasher -apple -banger -horowitz -ticolensic -grander -knotty -spelltinkle -grandlich -grumblemeyer -spelterwasser - kurstlich -himbleeisen -bahnwagen -gutenabend -bitte -ein -nürnburger -bratwustle -gerspurten -mitz -weimache - auuber -hundsfut -gumberaber -shönendanker-kalbsfleisch -mittler -aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm

of course, that would make 😃 Alfred Gambolputty de von Ausfern -schplenden -schlitter -crasscrenbon -fried -digger -dingle -dangle -dongle -dungle -burstein -von -knacker - thrasher -apple -banger -horowitz -ticolensic -grander -knotty -spelltinkle -grandlich -grumblemeyer -spelterwasser - kurstlich -himbleeisen -bahnwagen -gutenabend -bitte -ein -nürnburger -bratwustle -gerspurten -mitz -weimache - auuber -hundsfut -gumberaber -shönendanker-kalbsfleisch -mittler -aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm.

I like a lot of the names, but don’t remember them all so I won’t tell which ones are my favorites.

However, the names like Tatertot and Peaches and HighTechBurrito always make me hungry.

Please stop the torture.

Leave it to UncleBeer to practice the art of self-promotion… :rolleyes:

I always thought that Imthecowgodmoo had the coolest username (didn’t he win Opalcat’s popularity contest? I don’t remember anymore).

Have you noticed all the longer names? Some are now 3 or 4 words. I might switch to “Fanny, Queen of The May Pole”

Thanks, but no- I didn’t win. I thought I was going to win, but some weirdo with the name of ‘bug vomit’ beat me. I say he cheated (something about voting for oneself everyday is considered cheating in my book). I cried fowl, but everyone knows who the real winner is anyways- ME!
