If You Weren't You, Who Would You Be?

Every screen name I have ever had has had the word FOG in it.

Exactly this.

I use this ID lots of other places, so it is who I am now.

I have used other names on other message boards:

cemetery polka
laiskuri
swedish kamikaze
anfangel dongobel

…and others, now forgotten.

Slartibartfasterthanyou :smiley:

And a big HAHAHA for “cemetery polka”. That rocks and fits my mentality. I’ll be at a funeral and wonder if anyone ever had a polka band…

Hmm…I’ve always been **sandra_nz **on t’interwebs. It’s amusing on this forum when I say in my post that I now live in the UK but people reply as if I still live in New Zealand.

i guess the other name I would use is mooma, which is my World of Warcraft main’s name. (She’s a tauren and I like Big Books.)

I’m not sure doper names really have that much impact on how I perceive people’s posts. Quite often someone will reference someone’s name and I’ll have to do a double-take because I hadn’t read their name that way.

No idea. I’ve been GuanoLad everywhere. I did at first experiment with his superhero counterpart, PigeonMan, but that just makes me look like an owner of a rooftop coop, and was actually a common username even in the early days of IRC.

I’d probably find a reasonably obscure character from entertainment, such as Vyvyan Basterd or Johnny Alpha or The Leopard from Lime St.

I have no idea. WordMan just fits as a nickname IRL and when I was taking baby steps to participate on a (gasp) message board (hey, I was a noobie! ;)), having a familiar nickname kinda helped.

Now, after being involved for years, I suppose something like Guitar Geek would work…but, nah, I’m WordMan…

Well, I don’t post much - and my handle is completely meaningless. I’ve thought about changing it to Bovine, because when I do post something it’s mostly bull.

When I first joined in 2005, I used my real name. A few kind posters suggested that I pick something more anonymous. At the time I did the name change, my computer desk top photo was a head shot I took of a canebrake rattler (Crotalus horridus). If I used the same method of choosing now I would use my grandson’s name: Milo.

Henry F. Potter, and my location would be “Pottersville, formerly Bedford Falls”.

Post #15 made me laugh out loud!

Cunuculous Dreams.

Because its Spring!

But I would spell it correctly “Cuniculous Dreams” :smack:

Actually it is a Tom Waits song title, and has nothing to do with cemeteries and is not a polka.

For some reason, I just now developed a sudden urge to be known as:

Professor Annie Portina Storm, Institute of Crisis Management

…but of course, I’m not a girl. Also, it’s a bit long.
