When I put in “Ronald” for my first name, I’m **The Abalone**. What the…? I guess I need to run to an online dictionary as soon as I finish the post. When I put in “ron” as my first name, I’m **The Delicious**. So great, now even computer programs are mistakenly thinking I’m gay. When I put in “Crunchy Frog”, I’m **The Icepick**. Now we’re talkin’. Fuggedaboudit. ---

\*\* Ruthless \*\* ``` or ``` \*\* Blue Eyes \*\* I think those will fit me nicely. Yea, I can see them combined too, to get \*\* Ruthless Blue Eyes \*\* ---

OK, if I put my first name in as David, I get the Mobname “Dreamboat”. If I enter it as Dave, my Mob moniker is “Cedar Teeth”. This for a man who earns his living as a hired killer. Sheesh. ---

When I put in Theresa I get **Napalm** With Arden Ranger I get **Weed Whacker** (Someone musta squealed about my ability to kill plants in a single day) But putting in Thera Thomas makes me **The Bishop**. (I’m trying to decide if that says something about my preferance for younger men) ---

When I enter Cristi (the name I use in daily life), I get **The Compass.** BWAAAHAHAHA! Riiiiiiiight. I still have to write “R” and “L” on my own damn shoes. When I use Laura, which is my actual first name, I get **The Undertaker."** This is a little better. But when I use Persephone, I get **The Merciless.** Oh yeah. That’s it. 😃 ---

With my real name, I came out “ **The Mangler** ”. With my screen name, I got “ **The Ugly** ”. I can’t win. ---

Heh. I’m **The Vampire**. At least I didn’t get **The Guy Who Can’t Get Any Play** , which would be more accurate. ---

I be bein’ **The Pipsqueak** **The Pipsqueak?** Really now, I don’t think I’d get much respect with THAT! Hmm…I could also be **The Harpoon** using my nickname, that’s kinda cool, or **The Mortician** using my SDMB name. I’m liking this now. ---

I’d say hello and nice to meet you guys, but I’m **The Ostrich** , so you wouldn’t be able to hear me anyway, since my head’s burried in the sand. Some mobster _I’ll_ make. And I really wanted to shoot someone, too. ☹ ---

I am **The Hawk** with my RL name, and **The Mouthpiece** with my screen name. Both pretty good, I am pleased. **The Mouthpiece** in particular seems suited for the times when I speak in Cecil’s name and smite people for misbehaving in Great Debates. 😃 ---

Hell I’m happy with my mob nickname I’m **The Spaniard**. I can’t help but think of Russel Crowe in the movie Gladiator and think yup that is a kick ass nickname. Oh my board name is **Lonely Guy** I think I’ll stick with my real name on this one. ---
