C’mon, no one voting for Doghouse Reilly yet? I love that name! I have no idea of who they are, but I picture a scrappy guy with the nub of a cigar in the corner of his mouth.
Also, there used to be a JPEG Jones around, but I haven’t seen them posting in a long time. I always loved the jaunty sound of their username.

All of these either make me laugh outloud or puts a smile on my face. The lurker says “thank you”!
Guess mine’s a little too gross, eh? Well, I used to be Dennis Moore, but the Winter of Missed Content screwed that up. I chose my current one in memory of a college friend of mine. He and I used “P.T. Smegma” as an anonymous name (sort of like Joe Blow or John Doe) in conversation at every opportunity. We thought we were very witty. Others found us weird.
Because maybe he didn’t? I remember saying Dorkus Malorkus when I was a kid before the Simpsons ever came along, so it definately predates Bart. As much as I love the Simpsons, there was life before them, and they draw from pop culture just as much as pop culture draws from them.
Okay, for some reason when I was getting ready for work this morning, Tapioca Dextrin and Olentzero came to mind. Just outta da blue… it’s scary, I tell ya…
…and I thought about those names all the way to work.
Folks, I have an hour’s drive to work. And every time their names would pop into my head, I’d get this big ol’ goofy grin on my face. I’m glad it’s dark out when I drive.
