**Rat avatar** was able, but then he saw that island. In roulette, he always bets on 00, never odd or even. And someday he’ll make his plans for a canal into reality. ---

> [@edwards\_beard](#): > > YogSothoth: War is brewing. A battle has been going on between the Looney Tunes and Hanna Barbera characters. In one showdown, Yogi Bear and Sylvester the Cat are facing off. Eventually Sylvester the Cat slays Yogi Bear, skins him, and fluffs up the pelt so it is the softest bear skin rug ever. He names the rug: Yog So thoth That is brilliant 😃 > [@JcWoman](#): > > Oh, someone do me! > > Sadly, I’m not clever enough to come up with any good ones, but I’m another one who has always read Mangetout’s name as “mangy trout”. 😃 You were at a birthday party thrown by a distant cousin you didn’t know well, but your brother said to just go, it’ll be fun and there’ll be punch and pie. Well, someone spiked the punch with Cristal because that cousin happened to be a local DJ and invited some rappers to his shindig. When the music started blaring, you and some of the other big booty girls took to the dance floor and in your drunken state, you beat them all out in a twerking contest. Lil’ Murder, one of the hottest underground rappers making a name for himself, and also known to be secretly not into women, was so impressed that he pulled down his sunglasses and said “Jesus Christ, Woman!” while staring at your butt ---

> [@snfaulkner](#): > > No, you are right (or so I think). Mangetout is in reference to [this guy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito). A French entertainer who eats(ate)…well…everything.

**Mangetout** isn’t a french guy or a fish, he’s a carpetbagger shilling for a patent tonic (good for skin infections!) :mad: 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/explain-someone-elses-user-name-please/759756.md?page=6)
