Thank you. Going to look into that…

To me, it sounds like LSD. I’m not familiar with the song.

I just saw a new user named **IDtenT Error**. Pretty clever.

Oh my goodness. \< blush \> I’ve never made a list like this before, so thank you!

As for my pick, it has to be…

It’s just so cute.

I like **sailboat** and **rocking chair**. Keepin’ it simple.

I don’t know anything about **rocking chair** except that I did the Valentine Exchange one year and one of them got my name and sent me a V-day themed bookmark and I was like “I don’t know who it’s from!” and they were like “I drew a picture of my name on the back!” and there was a little rocking chair. Awww.

Aaahhh.

Many of these great names refer to things I have no clue about. That interests me equally.

I was just thinking the other day that **Ambrosio Spinola** is my favorite historical user name on the SDMB. Nicely semi-obscure.

**Ayatollah Wuntz** always gets a chuckle from me.

**Maggie the Ocelet** sounds sexy - I picture Elizabeth Taylor in a slip. **GrumpyBunny** makes me think of Grumpy Cat in with fake bunny ears. **Annie Christmas** is cool because I have actually heard of the obscure folk heroine of the same name, and I respect our **Annie** for knowing her history.

I really like **Colibri** ’s title: “Curator of Critters”.

**OpalCat** , because: kitties.

Forgot to add **Master Wang-Ka** , which is always good for a ::_snerk_::

Plus, the guy’s a damned funny writer.

**Oops I Went Poopies** and **burpo the wonder mutt** have been my favorite funny names lately  
\*\*ShirleyUjest \*\* - Dropped out? I can’t remember seeing any of her posts recently  
**Johnny L.A.** - sounds like the name of a cool fictional private investigator to me.  
**Mama Zappa** - I’ve sometimes wondered if this is Frank’s wife or perhaps just a fan of his?

One I’ve just come across, of which I’d hitherto been unaware; but reckon rather magnificently weird – **Dilton Doiley, Philosopher King**. He was active in the late 2000s, but seems to have faded away.
