Got a few more:

Cecil: Perfect Master™  
I think that little extra makes it.

Guests: [$4.95 for title]

Why not try giving out titles as prizes, of sorts, kinda like the “here’s your stupid card” thread that went on a while back. Give them names like Lurker and Asshat.

I’m all for Asshat as a general doper title. Most of us are, anyway.

As for me: FilmGeek: Film Geek

Another vote for “Fighting ignorance since:” and “not banned… yet.”

What about a reward title? Given that the SDMB is powered by hamsters, the mods could give a custom title to the person who’s recently given the best contribution to the fight against ignorance:

**Hamster of the Week**

Cecil, of course, as King Hamster, would be ineligible–otherwise, nobody else would get a chance.

Personally I think it wouldn’t hurt to give out warning titles, either, such as:  
**On Thin Ice  
Better Not Be Posting In The Pit  
I Just Can’t Seem To Keep My Fool Mouth Shut  
I Was Dumb Enough To Post A Joke Thread In The Pit  
One-Trick Pony**

for myself? Hmmm…may as well go obscure.  
**Java Genly**

If I could vote, I’ve vote for Mr. Zotti’s **StDNUT**. It’s short, cryptic, & sexy. I just hope he shares his box-o-books w/ me for nominating it.

Seconds after hitting “submit”, I realized that could come across as a 30-year-old flirting with a seventeen-year-old, which would be gross, and by gross I mean totally oogy. Simple popculture reference there, nothing to see, move along.
