I believe it’s Snakes Cat Lady–that’s how I read it. And shudder every time, because I don’t like snakes! I picture a lil old lady with a house over-run with cats and snakes.  
Somehow, I think my image is wrong…

as to my user name sibs, everyone knows that Eleanor Rigby died and was buried alone along with her name.  
I’m great fun at parties, too.

How about [Dung Beetle](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php) ? Seems close enough to me…

Well, there are the S-caps triplets: **START** , **SHAKES** , and **SPOOFE**.

I have confused **js\_africanus** with **jrfranchi** more than once.

Lessee. There’re any number of Buckaroo Banzai-inspired names, or Jim Morrison if you swing that way. But the winnah for my evil twin has to be… **LizardKing**! (But the bonus has to go to someone named **Lizardbreath**.)

It seems **El Kabong** already mentioned **HarborWolf and IceWolf** and I think I might be a distant relative too. Aren’t there several other Dopers with “wolf” names? (wolfman I think is one).

“Wolf” seems to be a very common screen name for chat rooms, message boards, etc.  
I think “wolf” is the Internet equivalent of “Smith”.

I would have said **SPOOFE** was the brother of **spooje.**

**START/SHAKES** was my other one I’d put (but someone beat me to it)  
**mhendo** and **milroyj**.

**Swampbear** and **gobear** and **Bear\_Nenno** HAVE to be brothers in some fashion.  
**Hamadryad** and **Harimad-Sol**

Kind of like LaToya and Michael…you never see them in the same place. Hmm.
