Ever since I started posting here, I have loved the name **broccoli!**. I think it’s the exclamation mark. It just sounds so absolutely excited about broccoli, which, although I do like it, it isn’t really something to get excited about. But now, when I eat broccoli, in my mind there is always a little exclamation mark to go with it. And although the new sig is cool, I used to crack up at the copyright notice **broccoli!** used to have! I also like **Mnementh** because he’s the other **mnem**! And **iamthecowgodmoo** is great too. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by racinchikki \* > \*\*there should be a poster named christ on a stick. \*\* Whoops. I read that as “there should be a **pornstar** named christ on a stick” lol ;). Another user name I gotta mention though since someone else said they didn’t like it is **Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor**. I like that name! I don’t know why but it makes me think he’s a dark elf. That’s not why I like it though, I mean, I just think it sounds cool. ---

There’s a mildly and extremely embarassing story behind that and i won’t get into it here but it boils down to 1) i didn’t MEAN to break the rules, honest, guvnuh, 2) my first (real) username was inoperable so i re-regged as the catfaced m#57, 3) i’ve been in touch wiv the proper authorities on fixing the matter and 4) i didn’t MEAN to break the rules, honest, guvnuh.

I’ve always thought **saepiroth** ’s handle was spiffy just because Sephiroth is such a badass in ffVII. I’ll also second **(your name here)**…well does it even count as a “second” if he was the one that put his name in the first place? Well that’s neither here nor there. Besides, he has blue hair (well I assume that from his sig), so that just makes him super cool anyway. ---

Incidentally, the first reason i even gave that post the time of day was that i was PMSing at the time. 4. The second reason i chose to respond was that the board where i’m from, those kind of posts tend to end in fingers being ripped off and stuffed into eyesockets, etc. It’s a tough neighborhood but i love it. 5. Never ever, ever, EVER capitalize the m in the misfit or it’ll be another nasty time. 😃 Oh well. You seem pretty cool, SFT: you on MSN? (i’m not logged in presently but i’m normally [read: practically always] on.) You’re forgiven, but the misfit expects better out of you people… (Incidentally my ugly little punctuation doodad is a misfit kitty — \> =^_\>_^= ; it’s so ugly it’s been rejected and lives alone in the woods… see also =^6.6^= [anime kitty] and =^x\>x^= [dead misfit kitty ☹]) Yeah, so i’m a dork. ---
