In honour of the Vegas gathering this weekend I thought I would start the SDMB Trivia thread. The rules are simple, if the question is about you you shouldn’t answer it unless it has been left hanging in the air for a while. The second rule is have fun. The first question is Aha changed his user name to whatfor a short while? Why did he do it? Keith ---

TwistofFate is correct. Nobdy stepped forth with another question, so you’ll have to suffer through my next one. What was Eve’s original screen name? Not to original, well you can add something too. ---

Aha (bless his cotton socks!) tried to get every moderator and administrator to welcome him to the board (so he could put it his signature). He was successful, and he wwent for the big one. he started a thread asking Cecil himself to welcome him to the board. After a few people had asked to be welcomed as well, Cecil Himself started a thread to say happy birthday to Grace. In that thread he said hello to 19 people , and at the end said something like "And hello to hoo-hah, or whatever his name is. He also cussed like a sailor at Coldfire. Aha changed his name to Hoo-haw for a while, and all was kool and the gang! not really an incident, as such. ---

Damn codes. That first link should have been [Greetings to Jezebel, on her birthday](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=23950). POS. And, I _really_ need to get used to your new Screen name, Twist. I keep forgetting you’re not a newbie. 😉 ---

Since nobody has asked another question, I’ll do it. “Fluff yer hair, Beulah, I’s feelin’ frisky.” was a sig line used by what poster, and why? ---

Way to bring back memories of Serlin, Chris. I believe that was Diane’s sig line after the whole forum-jumping thread started by MarkSerlin about “what men notice during sex”. Or, what HE noticed during sex. Ugh, while it was very entertaining to read, it still grosssed me out. ---
