My favorite is [pseudotriton ruber ruber.](http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.bio.davidson.edu/Biology/midorcas/research/Field%2520trips/boone%2702/Pseudotriton%2520ruber%2520-%25204.12.02%2520-%2520Watauga%2520Co,%2520NC%2520-%25203.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.bio.davidson.edu/Biology/midorcas/research/Field%2520trips/Boone02.htm&h=225&w=300&sz=35&tbnid=g75MolfgGe4J:&tbnh=83&tbnw=110&start=16&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpseudotriton%2Bruber%2Bruber%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN) The OP has a similar double thing going on. 😉

Ah, my public.  
Names I know and love:  
**look!ninjas**  
**ArrrMatey**  
**Tentacle Monster**

I loved **Knighted Vorpal Sword** , but I think he left when the subscription kicked in.

Oh, and of course, the one and only Mr. **Inigo Montoya** , who has some of the best posts I’ve ever read. Truly, sir, you are an honorary Filthy Beast of Meat and Hair.

I like the OP’s and I new one I’ve noticed… **scruloose**. Obviously, I like normally spelled words changed up to be more (hopefooly) more interesting. 😉

I like **ZebraShaSha** , **Really Not All That Bright** , and **Happy Scrappy Hero Pup**. I’m not sure why, I just like saying them.

Woohoo! I made a list!!!

This place has so many funny and clever names, I can’t even begin to list them all, but **The Chau Goes Mu** , **Czarcasm** , **Happy Scrappy Hero Pup** and **look!ninjas** are some of my favorites. And obviously, the name **faithfool** kicks ass.

And **Sofa King**. You know, I’ve been seeing that name here a few years or so, and I never gave the name a second thought until a few months ago, when I saw [this](http://www.mikehurley.co.uk/pictures/Sofa_King_ad_copy.jpg). Yes, sometimes the obvious eludes me.

[sub]I made a list! WOOOHOOOOO!!![/sub]

**Lobsang**. His name reminds me of singing lobsters.

What?

Yeah, you will. It was one of the working titles for the TV show that ended up as Monty Python’s Flying Circus. IIRC they also used it within the show a few times.

I, for one, am not surprised I never show up in these lists. Must get a better name.

The best username I’ve seen here is “[Smart Ass](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=31054&postcount=25)”.

The best username I’ve seen anywhere is “I’m Leaving This Board Forever”. Can’t remember where it was.

Another vote for **Czarcasm**.

Best user name I’ve seen on any board was on a comic book message board: the person chose a perfectly valid user name based on a real comic… **Giant-Size Man-Thing**

Boy, there seem to be a lot of these kind of threads lately.  
A few off the top of my head:

**iamthewalrus(:3=** I have an affinity for special characters. 😉

**Meatros** I always think of the SNL skit “You lika da juice…?”

**puglvr** Cuz she is my neighbor and I like her and she deserves to show up on a list every now and then…so there!

I think the Lady is just the coolest name ever. Partly it’s because it’s like the female version of “the Dude” Lebowski. I also think it inspires thoughts of Kenny Rogers’s girlfriend.
