Hey **mnemosyne** , do you/did you ever write Roswell fanfiction? Because if so, you’re an awesome writer, and if not, then there’s an awesome writer running around the internet with your name…

I always liked **Crunchy Frog** and **Milossarian** (sp?). And when I first registered, I tried to get **Tanstaafl** , but to my annoyance it was already taken.

Whoa! I came here to say thank you for the defense, Zyada, but I had actually emailed tubadiva for namechange a few minutes earlier’–and here i am! Roger the Shrubber! I’m still the unsuccessful underpants gnome,though, and a free thong to the first person who guesses what my name is a reference to!

I have never ever EVER watched more than 5 minutes of Roswell (you are talking about the TV show?). Either way, no, I’m not a writer. So there’s another mnemosyne, eh?..she must die… 🙂

I love one guy’s nickname on this board. I have a friend (who happens to be the funniest guy I know), who I can just see him running down the street yelling “I am…”

**misfit** , unfortunely I’m not on MSN, but feel free to AIM me if you’d like. You get my official badge of Doper Coolness™.

**Shade** , I like your name. Read an interesting book called **Shade’s Children** by Garth Nix.

And I didn’t know **Fear Itself** was a user name! That is neat, too. 🙂

Erm . . . which? **Roger the Shrubber** is from _Monty Python and the Holy Grail_ and if I’m not mistaken (which I may be, it’s been a while), an **underpants gnome** showed up in Terry Pratchett’s _Hogfather_.

Can I have my unnecessarily revealing underwear now? I’ve got some children to frighten.
