If we’ve done this before, forgive me or flame me. I don’t care.

Submit the screen names you’d most like to see.

Well–if this is what you meant–I rather regret not choosing “Penny Dreadful,” “Auntie Christ” or Ida Claire" as my name.

Then again, they do sound rather like strippers or drag queens . . .

I have a bunch of cool-sounding web handles that anybody can use, since I’ve already got one. Most are dredged from that hoary part of my brain in which I’m supposed to remember physical science:

Black Body Radiation  
The Heat Death of the Universe  
Ethyl Acetate  
Strike and Slip Fault (this could be a good name for a married couple’s account: Mr. Stryke Fawlt and his new wife Slipp)  
Gibbs Free Energy (funnier if rendered “Gibb’s Free Energy!” like it was some kind of advertisement)  
Activated Sludge

Any similarity in the above text to an English word or phrase is purely coincidental.

I always thought someone should choose “Cecil Zotti” and start posting mad ramblings, and admit that Cecil and Ed have always been the same person.

That could confuse the Teeming Millions!

I often regret not coming in here as “Oat Willie.”

Oat Willie was an old Underground Comix character, created by Gilbert Shelton before he got around to Wonder Wart-Hog and the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.

## He was a skinny guy with a big nose who wore oversized polka-dot boxer shorts, an old-fashioned leather football helmet, and rode around standing in a buckets marked OATS that had two bicycle wheels somehow affixed to it.

Well, I admit, that does sound like an eerily accurate description of you–but wouldn’t that make the use of the name somewhat redundant?

Here I was laughing at Flora’s suave mockery of SaxFace, only to find that I was the intended target.

Now I know how Tony Curtis felt in that scene in THE GREAT RACE…every time a custard pie was thrown at him, someone else jumped up and caught it right in the kisser.

I had a couple handles in my head before I settled on Imthecowgodmoo,

such as…  
Bloody Discharge (sick, I know… but waaaay COOL)  
SX RX N RR (also makes a great license plate)  
MAXIM MAN  
QT Pie

A couple that we came up with in 8th grade Spanish  
Hermoso Castor which roughly translates to Nice Beaver  
Ricardo Lapiz which is basically Richard Pencil. Of course being idiotic 8th graders, we shortened it just a tad.
