If there is a match for me I’d not only be surprised, I’d be scared.

**soulmurk** and **soulsling**

Besides the obvious one, I don’t think there are any matches for me, though.

I’ll match myself with **SINSapple** and **Eve**!

(Ahem… Jophiel being the angel in Genesis who drove Adam and Eve from the Garden with the flaming sword)

Plus I get to be matched with Eve which is pretty cool.

Hey, Gang!

It’s the cool game that _ALL_ the groovy kids are playing:

```
It's the MATCH *YOURSELF* WITH ANOTHER DOPER Game![sup]tm[/sup] [sub]new from Milton Bradley[/sub]

```

😃

To which, let me add: Fenris and fenrir

Odieman and Oldscratch…yeah I know they shouldn’t go together but people shorten them to Odie and Oldie…and then they get confused. I have been called Oldieman several times on the boards and in chat…

I suppose that’s better than being called **Oldman**. 😉

**Flymaster** – you haven’t yet bumped into **Kilgore Trout**?

Hmmm…

A bit of a stretch, indeed, but better than I thought anyone would get.

Actually, **peace** , were he not banned, would’ve been appropriate.

At first I was like, “Whoa, what kind of weird ass sausage have you been eating?” but then I realized you were going for bratwurst or hotdog.

I’ll volunteer myself for any of the Cats.

**Gawd** and **Satan**

and an odd thought:

(Mare) **Tranquilis** and **DeceasedEquine**  
(OK, that’s a _major_ stretch!)  
I’m not sure who **I** can be matched to - I don’t see any of my fellow Marx Brothers around, nor any of Groucho’s love interests, nor any other Groucho roles here. Harpo’s character in _Duck Soup_ was named ‘Pinky’, and there’s a **Dr.Pinky** here. But that’s a real stretch. Anybody got a better match for me?

But an amusing one, none-the-less. You got the right name-reference, even though it’s not quite as straight-forward as it seems.

How about: **RTFirefly** and **ladybug**?

**Silent Rob** and **Friend Rob**.  
**Joe Cool** and **Woodstockbirdybird**.

and add **Whammo** to the list of onomatopoetics ( **Bump, Wump,** and **Zoing** ).

Do **SilverFire** and **ColdFire** mind being matched up with a certain **FireUnderpantsBoobs**?

Otherwise, there are no other names which contain an earthly element (what _is_ fire?), an article of clothing, and a part of the human anatomy all in one. I am one of a kind. 🙂
