I always get **Aesiron** and **Aeschines** mixed up. ---

Of course, it’s a Simpsons reference. Hey, no problem! With as many Simpsons fans as we have on this board, it’s a wonder that we don’t have a few more "Guy"s running around here. ---

There’s a poster on this board whose username follows the format “firstname lastname”. I don’t know if it’s his real last name, but it’s certainly _my_ [fairly uncommon] last name. I always want to ask him if it’s his real name, and if we’re possibly related, but I want to preserve my anonymity. Although I suppose anyone with 2 brain cells and about 20 min to spare could figure out my name if they wanted. But still. Anyway, my original point was that I always get confused when I see a thread started by him, because my last name always jumps out at me, and I always forget that I’m not the only one in the world to have it (although sometimes it seems that way). ---

I figure I’m pretty safe as to be not confused w/ anyone, although in retrospect, I should have left the “the” off of my name, to make it shorter. I suppose I could be related to “Nowhere Man”. . . . ---

I’m sure there’s other poster named Vernon, but they post, well, incognito-like. ---

**picunurse** is a real nurse, I only play one on tv. actually, i only play that I play one on tv. I _have_ played doctor. But that was sometime in the early seventies. ---

Probably a good idea for me to pre-empt the usual confusion; I’m Mange Tout, I am not Man Get Out. I think there was a troll that signed up as Manget **r** out or something once. ---

No, I didn’t. Sorry, when I changed TubaDiva told me you were inactive and hadn’t posted in a long time, so I thought I’d be OK. Actually, I kind of like confusing people. ---

I’m still a bit cheesed off that no one made any comments about my user name during the recent finger-in-the-Wendy’s-chili crisis. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-have-a-psuedo-clone-on-the-sdmb/285734.md?page=4)
