If **Some Asshole** was acceptable that might win it now! I can just imagine myself doing something wrong the thread in ATMB Admin: “ **Some Asshole** has been suspended for repeatedly molesting our gerbils” Member: “How dare you insult a member by calling him **Some Asshole** when he is not here to defend himself” on and on and on 🙂 Years ago I used to read a website that had great bar names through out the USA some of my favorites their where for the same reason \*\*Some Asshole \*\*would be great here. Bar names I remembered (Whether real or not I have no clue just found them humorous) “A Buddies” As in “Honey I will be late coming home I am hanging over at A Buddies” “Not At A Bar” As in “Honey I swear I am here, Not At A Bar” “Around The Block” “Honey I will be home soon I am Around The Block” ---

I have it narrowed down too **NeedfulThings** **Rat-Faced Skunk Boy** **Eh?** **Some Asshole** But not sure if this would be allowed ☹ **Pazuzu** **Abbie Normal** **Juan Carrion** If you have any other suggestions for me to possibly add to the list throw them out in the next few hours, then I will put out a call to pick one of the names and well be named. ---

According to Bruce McCall, **Rat-Faced Skunk Boy** was the nickname of Egypt’s storied King Pni, whom the March 1938 issue of _Popular Workbench_ (“Written So Even You Can Understand It”) claimed invented radio in the days of antiquity. ---

> [@LostGoals](#): > > **NeedfulThings** > **Rat-Faced Skunk Boy** > **Some Asshole** But not sure if this would be allowed ☹ > **Pazuzu** > **Abbie Normal** > **Juan Carrion** Okay these names are the final screen name selection. How it will go now is three votes by three different members first is the name I will be stuck with. Let the quick voting begin! \*Still not sure Some Asshole will be acceptable but if it is, and it wins the vote then Some Asshole I will be. ---
