That is, if a newbie with less than 250 posts under her belt can claim a '99er (CynicalGabe, are you a '99er)? with nearly 5,000. My word, CynicalGabe has posted more posts than I have done autopsies. And don’t even get me started on Twickster. ---

Well, there is (or at least was) a **zeldarae** who responded to one of my threads and asked me if we were kin in the sense that our user names may have come from similar sources. Hers (I think she’s a she) came from the fusion of two relatives’ names whereas mine came from a character I made up in a little story I wrote for a joke. Dan Aykroyd’s Conehead character had a similar name or else the Coneheads came from a planet with that name. I forget which. Wasn’t Remulac the planet? (It doesn’t even matter – I’m just trying to say that **zeldarae** and I may be related by way of different mothers in different states.) ---

Have I been claimed yet? I feel so…objectified. It’s a recent trend, these days… I can’t find anything fun on the search. Perhaps my mind just isn’t as open as it should/could be. Am I all solitary and such ovah heah? ---

I think a search for my siblings, meaning the brotherhood of men, would bring the board to a grinding halt. ---

As **Malacandra** pointed out, I’m part of the C.S. Lewis family, with **Reepicheep** and **Aslan** ; but given my current and previous screen names, I’ve always considered myself more of a member of the Cat family, which–considering it must include all cats, kittens, lions, tigers, leopards, etc.–must be far too numerous to list. Now if I can just keep the in-laws on good terms with each other… – **Not A Tame Lion,** the erstwhile **malchats** ---

I found some thirds and some warnings, but nobody who actually seems to post, so I guess I’m all alone, too. Maybe we can set up an orphan’s table somewhere? I’m willing to adopt some siblings. I’m a lonely little Petunia in an onion patch. Won’t you come and play with me? ---

After an exhaustive geneological search, I have uncovered this distant relative: \*\* pretend my name is witty \*\* I found many folks with “unique” in their names, which could qualify them as your evil twin. I adore your name and enjoy reading your posts. I most certainly couldn’t have you feeling alone in this world. ---

I’m sans goatee, so I’m definitely not the evil one, which increases \*\*pretend my name is witty’\*\*s Evil Quotient (EQ) by at least a baker’s dozen.

I’m a little nervous… three days after I joined, a guest signed up with the name “Fetch” - which is what I am usually called when I’ve been on a board for a while… Did I sign up twice and forget? Am I two of me??? The possibilities are endless… There’s a dudafetch, too - no worries that there is any relation there! ---
