Just to satisfy my curiosity…what are your favorite Doper user names and why? Personally, I like **Ferret Herder** , because it makes me think of someone quite literally herding ferrets like sheep, up on a huge, green hill. It’s a fun image. Also, **My Darn Snake Legs** , but I’m not quite sure why. I think I just like the way it sounds. ---

I like the _Invader ZIM_ ones; the OP’s, Filthy Beast of Meat and Hair, Irken Doom (is he still around?). ---

I like **Enginerd** , just because I wish I’d thought of it first. ---

I rather liked **tamaraqueenofgoths**. But **badbadrubberpiggy** isn’t bad… might have to get ahold of the _Invader Zim_ DVDs. Miscellaneous others: \*\*Earl Snake-Hips Tucker pepperlandgirl Aldebaran whiterabbit \*\* ---

My current favorite is **The Chao Goes Mu**. That is _way_ clever. ---

also, I am reminded of two more I really like: **Tentacle Monster** , because…well, who wouldn’t love a Tentacle Monster? And **Eyebrows Of Doom** , who I think is a guest and not a member yet - I hope he/she stays, because I love the name ---

Czarcasm is probably my favorite. Other than him, though, I don’t really know. ---

> [@badbadrubberpiggy](#): > > Personally, I like **Ferret Herder** , because it makes me think of someone quite literally herding ferrets like sheep, up on a huge, green hill. It’s a fun image. Thanks! Your name is pretty cool. 🙂 One of those that’s humorous enough to stick in my head. You came up with a far more calming image than the one I had. There’s a saying about the futility of herding cats - well, add hyperactive no-attention-span ferrets instead, and presto! Chaos. There are a ton of user names that I like (including **Mangetout** ’s oft-suggested and now IIRC taken offering of **Atomic Badger Racing** ), but the usual one that comes to mind in a thread like this is **vivalostwages**. Amuses the heck out of me. ---

The last couple of times this came up, I had the same two votes: **Jpeg Jones** and **Doghouse Reilly**. ---

**Eyebrows 0f Doom** reminds me of the weird guy in FLCL with the seaweed eyebrows. That is all. ---

> [@badbadrubberpiggy](#): > > Also, **My Darn Snake Legs** , but I’m not quite sure why. I think I just like the way it sounds. Good times! I like that people like my user name. I remember a particular Doper that I met at a Dopefest who kept introducing me as “Snake Thingy.” :smack: ---

I think of the same thing, ferrets being herded, and then all of a sudden one bites another, and he bites another, and he bites the herder, and suddenly there’s CHAOS and a million ferrets running every direction. My one experience with a ferret resulted in him biting my foot. Does it show? ---

> [@Tentacle Monster](#): > > **Eyebrows 0f Doom** reminds me of the weird guy in FLCL with the seaweed eyebrows. > > That is all. I LOVE **Tentacle Monster** , because from what I can tell, he’s NOTHING like the tentacled monsters in those films (not that I’ve ever watched one. Uh-uh. Not me.) He seems to be cuddly and sweet. Well. I love his name. I don’t know if I actually love him. No offense or anything, TM…I just don’t know you well enough! ---

Actually, I get the references for both **BrotherCadfael** and **Lobsang**. Toss in **Coldfire** and **Czarcasm** , and you have my list of favorite poster names! Oh, and **Rue De Day**. And **swampbear**. And **Diogenes**. And… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-user-names/275488.md?page=2)
