Let me guess what your handle means.

Oh, I know we’ve had half a dozen “What does your handle mean?” threads. I’ve never been able to participate because I foolishly registered with my real name. So let’s go the other direction:

I noticed a Doghouse Reilly pop up as a user. I believe that was a fake name that Philip Marlowe used in The Big Sleep. Am I right?

Kilgore Trout is less obscure. He appears as a character in a number of Kurt Vonnegut novels.

Try it with mine.

It may be hard because it is more of an joke that my friends know.


We must blame them and cause a fuss before somebody thinks of blaming us.

Ooh! Me next! Pick me!

I’ll give ya a hint: It’s not my name (that’s Michelle) and it’s not any of my friends’ names or anything like that.


Cessandra

I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids!

High Tech Burrito. Nope, I don’t even have a guess. As for Cessandra, I know that Cassandra was a Trojan princess, cursed with the ability to foretell the future, but never be believed. (That’s really only a curse when your city is under siege and only you know how to save it. It would actually be pretty handy for playing the stock market.) I’ve always wondered about the “E” substituted for the “A”, but it remains a mystery to me. Don’t tell though, at least not right away. Maybe somebody else can guess.

Lets see if you can guess mine. I’ve recently given a hint on theses boards as to where to find out what Yax means.

Are you known for throwing up? (Yax = yacks, as in “He drank too much and yacked all over my floor”)

While I have been known for the occasional technicolor yawn, Yax is pronounced as Yash and not Yacks.


If I was discussing Lucy Lawless but I wrote Lucy Topless, would that be a Freudian typo?

Goferit.

Aw, you got it too easy. But fine, somebody can guess why “e” and not “a.” Bonus points if you knew that it was a soft “c.” :slight_smile:

Tengu, thanks for posting! I wanted to nominate you in Opal’s Awards Thingie, but couldn’t think of your handle. :blush:

How about me?

And what would have inspired my username?

Please, please say it has nothing to do with Cess Pools…

Heh, 'Sok. Happens to the best of us. (You’re living proof. ^__~) Outa curiosity what for?


Eschew Obfuscation

I think mine is self-explanatory. Or, if you are unsure why I chose my username, just check out my homepage (via my user profile.)

Hmmm, I don’t think he nose.
(Sorry. Couldn’t help myself.)

That’s right, schweethart. And if you see Eddie Mars, tell him his old lady says hello.

Would you like to try mine? Do you remember the story?

any takers?

Fuzzy-Wuzzy was a bear; Fuzzy-Wuzzy had no hair; Fuzzy-Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he?

Ruadh - whenever i see your name, I am reminded of Frank herbert’s epic novel Dune, but in that story, the characters title was Muadh- something, and not Ruadh, so no luck…

Have you nominated and/or voted for your favorite huggable Mullinator today?

Now this has got to be amusing…

I leave you my name to play with. :eek:


I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
