Apparently, I’m the resident cryptoanalyst. Most of my variations got “Decoder Otter”, although I also came across “Humongous Meerkat” and “Affable Dung-Beetle”. Which one do you guys think i otter use? 😃 ---

Geeze,… all these sites I enter with the name “Dahlia Black” which I think in itself is a cool codename, in a morbid Hollywood 30’s or 40’s (so I’m a bit tipsy, fuck me) kind of way. If one of these sites told me I was a famous murder victim, I’d go away quietly or at least silently cheer they got the reference. I’ll try my REAL honest to god maiden name and see what gives me this time…but I do really like Atomic Rattlesnake. I’m not giving that one up! ---

Using my married name, I got **Humongous Plankton** Umm…let’s try that one again… Using my maiden name, I got **Marionette Beetle** Okay, that’s a little better. Using my screen name, I got **Explosive Beaver** Wouldn’t that be a great name for a band?
