There’s this one guy running around who uses **SPOOFE** as his user name. I hear he’s rather sexy, and has a gigantic penis, t’boot.

i said it one time and everyone in my vicinity cracked up like mad. they thought i was being original.

another fan favorite is ‘oh, john the baptist with a side of fries, man’ rather than swearing like a sailor all the time (like i do)

**Particle Will** gets my vote, with **Pezpunk** coming in a close second.  
There are _lots_ more that I really like, but those two are the bee’s knees!

I’ve always been fond of **Cecil Adams** as a username; I just know it’s a reference to _something_, but I can never quite place it. Maybe it’s from an old sitcom or something. That guy doesn’t post much, though.

Actually, I find that MOST usernames are nifty, including the plain ones, which are kind of like the straight lines supporting the jokier names.

Among the recently registered, **404 Error** has to be my favorite name.

What weirded me out is that, since I always confuse **SfT** and **SftD** , I thought **SfT** was saying he/she was cool. (Sorry, both of you. I know one of you is female and the other is male, but for the life of me I can never remember!)

I like the _Catch-22_ ones… **Milossarian** and **Doc Daneeka**. **Tipper Keanu Ann Tyler 2** is a good name. I like **TheNewbie** if only for the fact that someday he won’t be a newbie, and then he’ll have to change his name to **TheReg**.

Thanks for the mentions, all. 🙂 My name is my only claim to fame.

(While perusing the board for names [I never remember the names I like when threads like this come up], I saw we have a **firefoxgrrl**. How am I supposed to keep her and **ladyfoxfyre** straight now? Ay chihuahua.)

_takes a bow_

why thank you **Wolfie**. i think your name is cool too. makes me think of a crystallized animal of the canine persuasion… 😃

i think **Crunchy Frog** is a really nifty name… [sub]especially since i like my frogs nice and crunchy… mmmmmmm…[/sub] _ducks_

**FairyChatMom** ’s conjures up an image of a fairy surfing message boards and yelling at a son/daughter to “shut up and do your homework”… teehee _ducks again_

and **Sue Duhnym** ’s is strangely apt…

i bet i’ll think of more exactly five minutes after posting…

We have a newish Doper called **typo mna** which tickles me no end.

The only nicks I don’t like, are the ones I can’t pronounce in my head as I read. There’s a smart guy called Tricor somnething of something, and I can’t undestand or pronounce him. Consequently, my mental picture of him is a blur.

doesn’t everybody have mental pictures of the posters in your minds?

uh, ya mean **Bosda**? don’t worry, i can’t pronounce OR remember his full dopername either…

I got mentioned… “zoinks.” I must admit, though, that I was quite shocked to notice after my first post that there was another user named “Albert Rose.” No… my name isn’t Albert. It would be Alex… oh well. Where are you from, anyway, Albert?

I think **Anal Scurvy** is neat. As others have mentioned, it just screams troll, but s/he’s not.

Also, **SqrlCub** is interesting. I always read it as “Squirrel Cub”, but that doesn’t make sense. Still, a nice username.

Plus, **FireUnderpantsBoobs** arouses me. 😃

Holy Florking Shnit!

Awesome! I have a fan club!

**FireUnderpantsBoobs** , I learned a little while ago that we had a firefoxgrrl, and it upset me greatly. The only thing I can say is that…well, my name’s better than hers, so nya-nya-nya!

The misfits are the same person. The Roses are not.

How can you tell? The names are so similar! :eek:

**Lamia** has a cool name because I automatically read it as **Labia**. 😉

Hey, thanks for the ringing endorsement 🙂 It’s actually from a Paul Monette quote… “Live without hate but not without rage.”

I like Esprix and Rue DeDay a lot.

Just saw a new one - **You’re aptly named!**

And whatever happened to **Don’t poke the bear, Dad!**?
