For example, when I see RickJay’s name, I think of the guy who was wondering about farting a hole in his underwear.
When I see Francesca’s name, I think of that pasta sauce commercial from the 1980s - Francesco Renaldi. In the commercial, the doofus housewife actually pronounced the product’s name wrong, calling it “Francisco” or something.
I always wonder how people chose a name.
When I see ‘dantheman’ I think of a guy who used to play varsity basketball with me for the ‘DSW’ aka ‘Deutsche Schule Washington’ aka ‘German School Washington’.
That’s not you, is it Dan ?!?!
If it is, prove it by sending me an email with the name of our coach.
Heh. No. Sorry, Mycroft.
But you know, since I see your name, I think of an oldtime BBS username, from the mid-1980s… the name was Myron Q. Synergy. Yours reminded me of it, anyway.
I first read Canthearya as “Can the Arya[n]”, i.e. fire the white person. 
When I see Neidhart, I think of the Hart Foundation - is that you, Jim the Anvil?
Good to know I’m famous.
When I see dantheman, I think of Stan Musial, who of course was “Stan the Man.”
Collounsbury - I think of Roger Rabbit, because I always read it as “Cartoonsbury” for some reason.
jarbabyj - I think about Chicago.
Anthracite - I have this strong mental image of Una as a tall dark haired women in a business suit. I can see her running into a meeting room and talking about coal for an hour.
Esprix - Gay.
When I think of Anthracite, I’m reminded of that scene in Clerks when Randall had just rented porn movies - the phrase he used was “hermaphroditic porn”. So my brain reflexively thinks of “Anthracitic porn”.
How cool would that be?
Pehaps a “Whats the deal with your name?” thread is in order. (Incidentally, your name brings to mind the secretary of state shoving Ellian/Alien Gonzales off the coast of Florida.)
I have this image of Anthracite as combination of Cathy Bates and Carrie Fisher
Tomndebb - combination of the Sicilian villian in the Princess Bride and Ward Cleaver with SDMB as “The Beaver”
Collounsbury - I think of an chubby, angry Jeremy Irons with a drinking problem
Scylla- Combination of Alec Baldwin and Andy Griffith with issues
Astroboy14 - the big nurse guy in ER
Spoofe - the devil incarnate
Fenris - Gene Wilder and Robin Williams combined
Manda J.O. - A white Oprah (but thinner)
Guinastasia - "Matilda"from the movie all grown up
When I see astro, I think of that Chevy Astro commercial - “Chevy (Chevy) Astro (Astro)”, with the words echoing.
My brain it is an eerie mansion…
astro
“retch a roriceman, retch a roriceman”
And when I see superbee, I think of the theme song to that Mr. T cartoon… SuperBEE… da-da-da, da-da-da, dada dadaaaaaaaaaaaa daaaaaaaa…
[pout]
Why does no one ever think of me when it comes time for these popularity threads? Ain’t I popular enough? Don’t I have a groupee following yet, as long as I’ve been posting the substantive things I’ve been posting on this board? :mad:
When I think of superbee, I think of a giant black and gold bee buzzing around.
astro reminds me of the Jetson’s cute doggy. 
tomndebb reminds me of Siamese twins or a couple so in love they can’t bear to not be touching each other all the time. [giggle]
dantheman makes me think of a dancing man.
I’m sure I’ll think of more later.
First thing I generally think about is a nice cold beer.
Now, now, celestina. This is decidedly not a popularity thread. Do you think RickJay really wants to be known as the farting dude?
BTW, your name reminds me of The Celestine Prophecy. Every time. Even when I see it in Email Sluts.
Nope - I’ve never heard of either of those.
Pro wrestlers from the mid-80s… It was Bret “Hitman” Hart and Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart - and they were managed by “The Mouth of the South”, Jimmy Hart.
Heh.
Ah, that explains it . . . not a wrestling fan.
This fellow is who I named myself for.
I just hope no one thinks I’m a Marine. Is that too much to ask?
