Click the link in my sig for the story about my current username. I’m ready for a change. _Casablanca_ isn’t even in my top 50 films. I think I’ll change from Igrid Bergman to Ingmar Bergman, my second or third favorite filmmaker. So: **Isak\_Borg** **Jons the Squire** **Antonius Block** Any other suggestions or Yays for mine? (and no **F\*cking\_moron** suggestions, either :D) ---

How about Chess-Playing Death? Or Wild Strawberries, that would be a cool username. Whys & Crispers? ---

How 'bout **Formas Puellas Amo**? It’s Latin for “I love pretty girls” (I think- I know I got “puella”, “forma” and “amare” right, but I’m not totally sure about the declension and conjugation). Latin phrases are always cool. ---

Since you asked, I’m not particularly fond of your Ilsa Lund name. It’s a chick name and you’re not a chick. How about something manly like Bob? 😉 ---

Why use your precious brain cells when you can use the patented [naminator](http://www.gamespy.com/naminator/). It’s just so damn brilliant. Give it a try even if you don’t want a new username, heck, it’ll probably make you want a new username! The naminator is great! All hail the naminator! ---

They come from the F-Grade movie Space Mutiny. Or, more correctly, the A+ Mocking via MST3K of the F-Grade movie Space Mutiny, surely one of the worst abominations committed to celluloid. ---
