When I signed up, I used a variation of my high school nickname. (It involved football, and sucking pretty badly) though it was said only amongst friends so its not insulting to me.  
But as I remain here, I just do not like the “feel” of this screen name. So I am asking all the smart, witty, or just plain silly SDMBers to come to my rescue.  
Give me a name, any name. I will take all submissions, from the silly to the genius. I have no preference, if its something I find interesting I will change it to that for all time.  
For those of you without children, here is your chance to name a stray! Think of the bragging rights, when it is revealed you named the biggest idjit on the SDMB!  
This is your chance to make history, whether my new screen name becomes “JesusChristSuperstar” or “GeorgeBushesNosehair” it will be the screen name **you** chose! This is a chance of a lifetime! 🙂

I reserve the right to refuse to name myself something totally insulting such as “Licks Monkey Butts” All names must be acceptable to SDMB rules

Yeah that recent ATMB thread was what made me think of this, though I don’t think I would allow you all to vote on a new screen name or I would end up with that… or worse 🙂

Huge fan of the “adult cartoons” as on Adult Swim (Family Guy, Futurama). I like many many things, some of my favorite authors are Brian Lumley, Stephen King, and some older authors, the likes of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.  
Movies range from Red Dawn, through South Park The Movie. I am in my mid 30’s, I have no real political affiliation as I swing more then Tarzan between all sides platforms.  
Umm No preferences really, I hope those insights helped you name me though. I need loads of help.

I recommend putting on mittens and giving the keyboard a good, two-fisted pounding. In fact, I think I may have some mittens handy (been moving some boxes of winter clothes around). One sec…lemme see…

Ok, yeah…got 'em. All right, your new username is:

**xsdkdfxsoidfxsuiod**

There ya go. As a bonus, it makes for easy vanity searching.  
Oh, and it’s pronounced “zixdikdefuxsoidfuxsoid”, or “zixdik” for short. Huh…wound up kinda dirty-sounding. Go figure.

From [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=6522592#post6522592), you could try **Blip Throttle**.  
For better effect I think you need a reverb on it.

If you like Futurama, then I would recommend **Pazuzu** so that every time I see you post I can say “Pazuuuuzuuu!” in my best Prof. Farnsworth voice.
