I doubt it.
Like “peek-a-boo.”
Yep, me too. Sorry, but he’ll always be a Mangy Trout over here.
Ugh. I always pronounced it as Fook-uh.
I’ve always wanted to ask, but are you a real reverend? Score one for me finally saying some username right.
Ahahahahaha. Thirded. Except the really clever Florida part.
As to the OP; no issues with mine whatsoever. I’m too boring.
Got mine off of a box of peel and stick floor tiles.
Technically yes, I’ve been ordained by the Universal Life Church. But they ordain anybody. I’ve been an atheist for 30 years.
Back in mid 2007 I saw a man, a great man, who I knew was destined for great things. But, he would be a controversial figure, a divider of opinions, but a settler of great, worldly, long-running scores. This soon-to-be-great man would so inflame, polarize and harden many people’s opinions, bringing in its wake levels of distrust, discord, disharmony and dishcloths that that man, a great man, would have his own name and birthright challenged. These challenges would be brought forth with such verve, panache and wit that a response in kind would be the only true and mighty equalizing opposition.
Unfortunately McCan’tIsFromMongolia was taken, so I just used my name instead.
Everyone who hasn’t met me IRL assumes I’m male. And I mean everyone; if my gender is assumed, it’s always male, sometimes even when I’ve mentioned being female or something pretty obviously gender-specific like giving birth or being a lesbian. Very occasionally they actually contest the fact that I am female, but then someone else steps up and points out that, if I’m not, I’m playing a very long game. I understand assuming science-fiction plus gender-neutral name = male, but it’s not like I’m a newbie or a lurker.
Hmm. So I guess I shouldn’t assume “burpo the wonder mutt” is a gassy bitch? 
^ Who you calling a bitch? (urf) :eek:
While I’m not exactly well-known around these parts, the only mistake I tend to make with your username is to confuse you with SanVito on days when I’m having trouble reading properly. Not sure why.
My own username is one I’ve used for years, and will be comprehensible to most people from Scotland. Other folks tend to assume it’s my actual, real name.
I suppose that is a good thing!
As someone who has spent some time in the PICU, it’s a place you don’t want to know about but are glad it’s there!
I’m not a southern redneck.
Just some guy who had a dog named Bubba.
Likewise, although sometimes people think I’m a dudette.
Burpo WAS a gassy bitch (spayed) until we lost her two years ago–a Border Collie with a sense of humor (a very dangerous thing); she would bolt her dinner and no matter where I was in the house, or outside, she would find me, look me right in the face and then** BURP**, then trot away, tail wagging, like she just unloaded a 20-megaton joke at me. It never got old. “Wonder mutt” came from Superboy’s dog, Krypto (the wonder dog) and Johnny Carson’s “Tea Time Movie,” where the cast listing always ended with something like Squirt, the Wonder Skunk.
Mrs. Burpo misses her, too, but not as much as I do.
My first dog (not my family’s dog) was an Airedale named Bojo. He was also a total clown like your Burpo and we were inseparable. He had lots of nicknames, like Bo Gypsy, Bojangles, Bo Flop ('cause of his ears) and so on.
Whenever I hear the song Mr. Bojangles and they get to the line “His dog up and died, he up and died, and after 20 years he still grieves” I start crying. Some pets you just never get over missing.
Yeah. Like my cat that died 35 years ago, and I can never have another cat because I developed severe allergies. 
However, I do have one other reaction to that song–a determination that, when I leave this vale of tears, I won’t just die. I intend to up and die.
“Did you hear about Freddy?”, everyone will say. “He up and died.”
I am often assumed to be a male, a coyote and a cartoon. I am not a male.
I had a Sheltie that did this. Never got old and always good for a chuckle. My wife never noticed until one day I told her to watch this right after the dog scarfed down her meal. Walked in, looked at her, belched, trotted away. Miss her, the dog that is, wife is still around :).
You took my first choice of a user name.
