I am the \*\* Cybernetic Tiger \*\*!! Ok, it’s cheesy, but what are you gonna do?

My girlfriend is another \*\* Spunky Misunderstood Genius \*\*… I think I recall seeing that one earlier. Julie, are you on this MB too?! 🙂

Hey, Hey, Hey there. . .  
I’m the **100-Watt Warlock** there.

Something fishy’s going on there. . .

I’m the “Jive Talkin’ Choirboy.” Does anyone know where I can buy a jive/english dictionary? I need to do some serious studying.

My fiancee is “Sabre-Toothed Portillo”. What does a Mexican President have to do with the Wu-Tang clan?

All right Michelle. Great we can team up and destroy things together. Except I am kinda tired today. Maybe tomorrow. You know, if I get a good nap and nothing’s on TV.

Hmmm. Currently I am Inebriated Assistant. Dull.

My maiden name, however, is Bastard, BASTARD, Harbormastah. I’m not sure I could live up to that as a username.

Womanly Panther here, and it came up with that answer for both my screen name **and** my actual name, which I found interesting.

My husband is Sabre-Toothed Portillo. But what is a portillo?

What is this!? I put in my first and last names and got “Gorky`s Zygotic Glove Puppet”, just like Mullinator’s dad. I put in my first and middle names and got exactly the same thing. Seeing as how I am not Mullinator’s father, or at least I wasn’t the last time I checked, they must reuse names quite often.

Looks like I’m the first **Inscrutable Drama Queen** here.

I was pretty happy with that, but then I tried my husband’s name - and got the same thing.

A few others we tried:  
Regis Philbin - **Choclatey Nazi**  
John Cleese - **Tha Prickly Comedian**  
Porky Pig - **Eight-Legged DJ**  
Truman Capote - **Excitable Misunderstood Genius**

Yo, Yo, Yo! **Tha Prickly Comedian** is in the house! (Sure, I have to share it with John Cleese, but that’s quite acceptable.)

Lovely wife = **Cybernetic Tiger**

The boy = **Ol’ Filthy, Sweaty Bastard** (which is damn hard to live up to at 22 months, believe you me)

And, using my screen name: **Victorian Cow** (which I _know_ I’ve seen before – how many people _am_ I?)

Using “Scarlet Pimpernel,” I become

Greasy Choirboy.

Doesnt strike me as terribly euphonious, although it’s funny, given that I sing.

Using my real name, I become

Big Wicker Ventriloquist.

Have no idea what it means, but it’s awesome!
