Let me guess what your handle means.

Looks like no one has any guesses on mine either.


If you feel that you must suffer, then plan your suffering carefully–as you choose your dreams, as you conceive your ancestors.

Kepi,

It is a low-crowned billed cap. Confederate soldiers wore them. So you didn’t know you were named after a hat?

No one has taken a stab at mine. Is it you just don’t care? I hope not. hehehe

Any takers on what my name may be? BTW, I’m the retard that replied with Wozman’s name, sorry buddy :slight_smile:

My SW name is Sanab Wilag.


The best things in life are Italian…that’s the thing, though…I’m not Italian.

Mine is probably too easy, but you mizewell give it a shot.

Bonus points for the origin of “The Dave-Guy.”

BTW, Little Nemo was a surreal comic strip in the early days of the 20th Century. I forget who drew it, but the name Winslow keeps popping up in my fevered mind. I think it was actually called “Little Nemo in Dreamland” or possibly “Slumberland”. This little kid would go to sleep, dream all sorts of outrageous things (and the artist drew incredibly detailed scapes with strange perspectives and other optical oddities), have a bunch of adventures with bizarre creatures, then fall out of bed and wake up.

I’ve only seen a limited sample of this strip, but it was exquisite. I imagine that full-color reproductions on an entire page of newsprint (as the funnies used to be done) would really be a feast for the eyes.

I also fail to see what Ukelele Ike has to do with Star Wars, et al. The answer has already been given. He was a jazz singer and the voice of Jiminy Cricket.

StGermain, would you be named for Yarbro’s vampire?

As for me, whaddaya mean? This is my real name!

I would challenge everyone to tell me what mine means, but DavidB was able to come up with it on the first try (without even being challenged) so I doubt it is all that hard.

New to the board, but mine is easy.

The Dave Guy is of course correct. I took my username from Winsor McCay’s comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland. McCay later renamed the strip Little Nemo in the Land of Dreams when he switched papers. The strip has been the subject of a recent animated film and, for all I know, video game. In addition, Nemo was the name of the wandering submarine captain in Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Beneath the Sea, so I get to pay homage to two favorite authors.

As for Bug Vomit … several months back (when I was still posting under my real name, Mike King) there was a thread about why some people were always ignored in the various lists of favorite posters. I posted that the usual winners of these “contests” were people like Satan or Imthecowgodmoo who had distinctive usernames, while those of us with less memorable names failed to make an impression. I said that I was thinking of changing my name to something like “Jesus Christ or Twelve Inch Penis or Bug Vomit” so I would be noticed and people would say things like “you know, old Bug Vomit makes a really good point in his post on Zoroastrian theology.” This joke apparently struck a chord with someone, because within a few days the username Bug Vomit was registered and he or she has been making good points on various subjects ever since. Due to the fact that I made the joke, several people have falsely believed that I am Bug Vomit.

You will never guess mine. Well, maybe you will, if you have good taste in movies.

I’ll give you a hint:
The only thing funnier than sex is death. And the only thing funnier than some people dying is lots of people dying. So obviously the funniest thing in the world would be everybody in the world, um, dying.

Har har har har har!!!
Just relax and learn to love it. . .
