there was a Abbott & Costello parody about rock bands at Woodstock
easy to do with names like
Yes
Guess Who
Who
etc
Third base! 
I had no idea of what name to pick, until I glanced at this chap sitting beside my desk
Wait I just figured it out, the “Guess Who”. Right?
I’m a love goddess. Really.
OK, real story: I was leafing through my copy of “The Odyssey” for an assignment one day, picked up on the name ‘Kythereia’ for Aphrodite (the spelling is also Cytherea, a reference to the island of Cythera–supposedly where Aphrodite first landed after she emerged from the sea) and thought it sounded cool. See my sig for more. 
My favorite sports team is the Columbus Cottonmouths hockey team. When any of the new players in town are interested in getting a cat for a pet, the front office always refers them to me.
Hockey season starts tomorrow night! Before the puck drops, we get to watch the banner being raised and see the guys from last season get their championship rings!
I strongly suspect you meant this.

Carmen the Nurse was a sweet local television personality that had her own children’s show. Oh how sweet and beloved Nurse Carmen was by all the children in the Twin Cities area. I suspect more than one child had hugged their TV at the sight of her on those cold winter mornings. Nurse Carmen could do no wrong.
Fast forward twenty some years to when I was playing Quake on line. I had become pretty good at fragging my fellow on-line players, leaving them behind as a splatter of blood, sinew, and smears on the walls. I had been going against such nasty characters as ‘Slasher’, ‘GoreMaster’, and ‘Kroll’. So naturally, to piss them off, I went by the name ‘Cuddles’. I was good enough that I had become a target. Folks were searching me out just for the chance to say that they fragged me. I needed a strategic change, something to give me an advantage, something to give them pause, if even for a fraction of a second.
Since Quake online was best played with high ‘ping’ rates, and the best ‘ping’ rates came from local servers, and the average age of the other players on line was about my age…I hope you see where this is going.
That’s how a thirty-something male IT geek get’s mistaken for a hot little nurse with a mouth like a sailor.
I replied to one of these threads a while ago be I missed the last one so I’ll share again. Back in the dark days of the early internet (early for me anyway) I had to come up with a screen name. After several aborted attempts I came up with loach. When I was on active duty I flew in OH-58 scout helicopters. When I left active duty and joined the National Guard they didn’t have OH-58’s, instead they still had the old OH-6’s. The official designation of the OH-6 is the Cayuse in keeping with the convention of naming helicopters after indian tribes. In Viet Nam that name was ignored and the aircraft was known as the “loach” (somehow derived from light observation helicopter). I picked that as my name and have kept it in one form or another since.
Every once and a while I think about changing it. Although I am still in the guard I have not been in a helicopter in ten years. I’ve been in armor since then and I am now trying to make the change to military intelligence. Besides that is still just my part time job. I’ve been too lazy or set in my ways to switch so far.
So in conclusion it’s from the helicopter, not the fish or the director (Ken Loach). The only other message board you can find me on is the one on wheresgeorge. I use the same name but don’t post much.
I like vowels.
I had my own theory about you
I figured either - your SO’s name is Snake and he calls you Cat Lady
OR
it’s “Snake! Scat, lady!”
**jrfranchi ** - that is one of them - but I thought the Animaniacs version was based on something else… (but I’m “old”, and I remember stuff that never happened)
Once upon the time (in the days when AOL was a viable ISP, and Prodigy was still kicking), I needed a username for… something online, I don’t remember now. I had been using “Lonesome Wolf” on local BBSs (remember those?) but decided I wanted something a little different for my entry into the real WWW.
Being a huge Tolkien geek, I of course wanted something that would mark my coolness, like Gandalf, or Aragorn, or something, but since the internet was practially invented by Tolkien geeks (and Al Gore) all the obvious names were taken. And I refused to adulterate my name with extra numbers at the end (Frodo133!), so I dug out my Tolkien encyclopedia and tried to find a character with an appropriately cool name and story who hadn’t been snapped up already. Eonwe it was.
I’ve been using it forever, though I have one other username I use in places where Eonwe was already taken as well.
I survive on tinned giant mutant turtle meat, and I am a poor speller.
My name is Jen, and I’m a bio geek, so Antigen works for me. I probably should have spelled it Antijen for more punny fun, but it’s a bit late for that.
It’s my name in Hell.
“A woman needs a man like a fish needs a…”
actually, yours, I got.
The first thread I ever read on the board was the infamous 1960/20 minutes thread, following which I lurked around MPSIMS for some time. I really liked the board because here were all these other people who, like me, were smart but kind of strange characters. When I was trying to come up with a user name, I asked myself how I would identify myself to others. “I’m the weird one,” came to mind, which I realized was not at all an identifying feature on the SDMB. I thought it was funny to call myself The Weird One in a place full of weird people. No offense is intended, weird people are my favorite kind of people, not everyone here is weird, just the people I like best.
or you could have neice(s)/nephew(s)…
