I’ve woken up one morning and was getting ready for work and all that was in my head was Quiddity Glomfuster, Quidditiy Glomfuster, Quiddity Glomfuster, Quiddity Glomfuster, etc. I thought I was going mad! ---

🙂 What fun that people enjoy me monicker! 🙂 I wanted to pick something that would fit in nicely with all the interesting and imaginative names here and am delighted that my final choice pleases the ear of several Dopers. ---

There’re loads of great names on this board. The funnest for me are: Czarcasm pseudotriton ruber ruber Qadgop the Mercotan Bobotheoptimist lieu and, shamelessly: my own. Thorny Platypus ---

[QUOTE=frog princess] **garygnu** I can’t see it without going throught the whole news intro in my head. “No gnus is good gnus with Gary Gnu…” I then frequently start singing the theme song to _The Great Space Coaster_ . [/QUOTE] And here I had spent all this time pronouncing it as “Garganu”. Now I see that it’s actually “Gary gnu” and I have no idea where I got Garganu. It’s a pretty awesome sounding word though. GARGANU! ---

GARGANU! [/QUOTE] You’re not far off on the pronunciation. If I recall correctly, the Great Space Coaster character Gary Gnu pronounced it “gary ga-nu.” ---

For some reason I’m not able to pronounce **Qadgop**. I always say “kwag-dop” in my head. I know she changed her name, but I got a big kick out of **FireUnderpantsBoobs**. It’s the kind of thing you repeat in a low whisper when trying to calm yourself. “Fireunderpantsboobs fireunderpantsboobs fireunderpantsboobs…” ---

**Merkwurdigliebe** , **bambi hasenpfeffer** (that’s how I remember it anyway and it cracks me up - the juxtaposition of a Disney character and a delicious rabbit dish is just so…subversive) and **Exapno Mapcase**. Especially **Exapno Mapcase** , because I used to know what it referred to, but I have since forgotten so every time I see the name I pull a muscle in my brain trying to remember. Must…not…succumb…to…Google…addiction… ---

[QUOTE=Surok] \ Guilty as charged. And it’s not the ‘nub’ part, it’s…I don’t know. OTOH, it’s memorable. So memorable that the day before yesterday I was just thinking that I hadn’t seen you post for awhile, at least not in the threads I was reading. And I was hoping you were OK. \ [/QUOTE] What a kind sentiment, \*\* Surok \*\*; thank you!Just so you know (not that you were losing sleep or anything) I never had any hard feeling about what you said. ---

[QUOTE=vivalostwages] Actually, change “the” to “de.” And while you’re at it, throw in some more Eddie Murphy Buh-Wheat style singing: “Make dit wurd a betta pace ip doo tan…” [/QUOTE] Ah, I see.
