**Gunslinger** is so great, that if you give it up, I want it.
Say, why don’t we just swop, then I can have the 2K post count 😉

Or, along the same lines, **Cock of Bristol**. 😃
No?
Ok, how about you emulate your favorite poster and name yourself **Crispy Amphibian**.
No again?
Ok, here’s some other ideas:
(staying with the _Dark Tower_ motif)
**Roland** or
**Randall Flagg**
(I think I got the names right, been a long time since I read the books)
Other, just name names:
**Man in Black
racinladdi
DVDA Daddy** (I wonder how many will get that reference)
**Wienerslinger
Farquaad**
You’ll probably say no to most of these, as they all suck, but what the hell it was fun for me.

[Psst…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1182838#post1182838) I think **Swiddles** was closer to the correct spelling. Do I get a prize? 😃
Carry on…
[sub]Yes, I linked to my response quoting her post, and not her post itself. There’s less to read that way. :)[/sub]

Er, wasn’t it “Tiki tiki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo”?
It’s kinda long, though (probably _too_ long), and you’ll get confused with **The Mighty Tiki God**.

I gotta say, Gunslinger has a real ring to it. Dashing. Suave. Damn cool.
Keep it.

What about Guns Linger? It can be some abstract political message. Even if it doesn’t make any sense. 😉

[Yup.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=getinfo&username=randall+flagg) There’s also a [Roland](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=getinfo&username=roland).

Thank you, Ender. Once again my knowledge of the trivial has served me. ::bows::
My vote is for Randall Flagg. Gunslinger is dark and suave…but Flagg is just plain evil. And cool too. I’d think more highly of you as a poster too. (Sorry is that shallow?)
Hmm. I’m starting to feel taken in by the urge to name myself Chicken of Bristol. It’s amazing what peer pressure can do for you, huh?

DAMNIT! I completely missed that last post. Oh come on, the guy has only had one post…You deserve that name more.
All right, since my favorite name for you is taken, here’s a comprehensive list of names you should choose from:
**Used Tampon
Used Tampon of Doom
Crayon #5
Powerpuff Girl Voyeur
Zombie Pizza
Back From The Dead**
Enjoy.

I agree Gunslinger is cool, with the hole double meaning thingy. You could alter it very very slightly and make it Gnuslinger. Kind of like burgerflipper but another animal. Umm, no, that’s no good.
Ok, did some research and am thinking of your talents and how to combine them into 1 witty name. This may be too much for me, maybe the TM will have an idea.
