I’m a bit of a movie nut, and one of my favorites is This is Spinal Tap. It was either this, “Shit Sandwich”, or something even more offensive from Blazing Saddles.
Very obscure reference to a wacky old Steve Vai song called “Little Green Men”.
It’s a nickname my first wife gave me back in the early 90’s after I defeated her repeatedly at some game or another we were playing in an arcade.
Several reasons; comes from a French comic, also reflects my suspicion of dualities: inside every fool is a wise man trying to get out, but also vice-versa. I’m also a bit of a ditz; I’ve also used this tarot card of the Fool for various avatars-his implied attitude sums up a lot about me in one image, it also has my trademark blue shirt and even looks like me (when I was younger at least).
I have also posted to a few of these threads, but here goes: in an old B movie about a 50’s rock n’ roll mystery,*** Eddie & The Cruisers***, the Eddie of the title gives the protagonist of the movie, his piano player played by Tom Berenger, the nickname WordMan - “Words and music - they go together” or some such hooey.
I talk a lot. The movie came out when I was in high school and it is one of the nicknames assigned to me by friends that I actually wasn’t embarrassed by. Some folks still call me it IRL, alongside Verb or Verbiage…
Or better ?
I would have loved it if you were Triphyophyllum peltatum.
I’m a baker professionally, and not really imaginative about choosing a username!
I’ve obviously never kept it. 
▇ ▇ ▇ ▇
Alas, that would never happen. Those things really creep me out. 
I took my username from an evil overlord in a comedy anime called Excel Saga. In the show, Lord Il Palazzo plans to conquer the world to purge it of corruption but is constantly thwarted by his complete and utter lack of competant help.
I haven’t watched the show for years, but I still like it enough to keep the username on this and several other message boards.
It is done! Cazzle is no more!
And the explanation for my new username: dunno, really. It’s the name of my toon in WoW. I started using it because I liked the way it sounded and thought it would suit a Night Elf. The spelling “Eliana” wasn’t available so I inserted a superfluous “h”. More recently my other half decided he loved the name enough that he wanted it for our baby but I foiled him through persistence, rational argument, and birthing a male child. It’s my name, dammit!
olives = I love you
March 4th = my birthday
with bonus mental image of olives marching in formation.
My best friend made it up for me back in the AIM days.
Snerk.
I’m Pork Rind, because I like pork rinds, and because the name’s moderately trashy, with a tinge of disgustingness. Like a gas station mini mart on a long road trip. Also, I recall Funyun was taken at the time.
I was told that I looked like a yeti when I was skiing in a snowstorm back when I was at one of our high school skiing trips. I then became “King of the Yetis” when I was voted president of the ski club the following year. Since we were reading “Oedipus Rex” in lit class at the time, I decided to twist my title to “Yeticus Rex”. It stuck for the last 30+ years.
Pink hearts, orange stars, yellow moons, green clovers, blue diamonds and …
It was my SCA name, when I was into that in college.
Well, don’t leave us hanging! Tell us how it ends!
I’ll tell you how it ends. It ends with Lucky the Leprechaun getting his Luck Charms stolen by those snot-nosed, thieving little shits! That’s how it ends.
Where’s the justice? That’s all I’m saying.
Well, here’s the thing, Jack. Trix may be for kids, but Trix sucks ass. So GIVE ME MY LUCKY CHARMS, YOU SHORT BASTARD*!
- Not you, Jack. You’re a prince among leprechauns.
