I’d like more Venture Bros. names or Firesign Theatre names.

A good **Baron Underbheit** or **Papoon for President**.

or a **Lazy Star Dog**

Before the era of “Charter Member”, we only had the word “Member” under our nick. Someone is a previous thread of this nature suggested the nick “Throbbing”.

:eek:

I might call myself **H.W.P.**

(It comes from an allegedly true story about a vicar that spent years trying to trace the meaning of the initials H.W.P. on a stone in his church, eventually discovering they stand for Hot Water Pipe.)

🙂 I read this thread just so I could add **Brock Samson** to the list. We don’t have one already, do we?

I haven’t seen one. Now that would be a tough name to live up to. You’d have to look yourself in the mirror each night and ask yourself “Have I killed anyone lately?”

**Ethan “Bubblegum” Tate** and you could always be asking people “Are you funky enough to be a \<insert noun\>? Are you?” And then we’d all laugh. Or at least I would.

After thinking about this, I’d amend it a bit to LIL BMR DUCKS.
