Tatum O’Neal? you know of course, maxy-babe, I say that in a most respectful way. 🙂 you do admit you have to say your name in a suave movie anouncer voice: You thought the carnage was over… (cue creepy music) you thought _wrong_! Coming to theaters in September: Al Lewis is … MAX CARNAGE! (sub voice) carnage…to the MAX! this film has not yet been rated. ---

originally posted by **Mephisto** > [@](#): > > Neidhart: A big (as in powerful) goofy looking guy with enormous calf muscles–I know a guy like this who has a name very similar to Neidhart. You got the “goofy-looking” part right. 😃 **Mephisto** - Faust. **Flamsterette\_X** - flaming hamster (Successor to the Flaming Moe?) **Semp** - sump pump 🙂 **Milossarian** - Milos Forman. **The Wrong Girl** - she’s tough, from the wrong side of the tracks. Don’t mess with her. ---

> [@](#): > > Big Kahuna Burger makes me think of a big Hawaiian burger, and what fixings might go in it: pineapples, mangoes, coconuts, etc. Mmmmmmmm, me. Oh wait, I’m allergic to coconut. I’d better stay away from myself. Whenever I picture **Flamsterette\_X** I think of what Bonnie Raitt would’ve looked like when she was 25, with lots of fiery red hair **blur** makes me think of the lead singer from Rammstein. **Captain Amazing** looks like Clark Kent **ResIpsaLoquitor** reminds me of my friend at UMich Law because the Location area used to say Ann Arbor, MI. **Milossarian** looks like Roberto Baggio c. 1994. **december** looks like my dad, because they’re both actuaries. Except my dad’s a kneejerk liberal instead of a kneejerk conservative. They’re bizarro versions of each other. **Sam Stone** looks like Lord Farquat from _Shrek_ but much taller. **dantheman** looks like Catherine Zeta Jones’s handler in _Entrapment_. I forget the name of the actor. **Max Carnage** is me in ten years, because whenever I see his name I think of wrecking my car. ---

So it is pronounced Gwin-, not Gin-? I thought the U might have been silent. ---

The names that catch me every time are **Mangetout** which always makes me think of the “Toot-Sweets” sequence in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and **Quadgop the Mercotan** , which always just makes me laugh. Oh, and I think of the Wizard of Oz whenever I see **Ginger of the North**. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bad News Baboon \* > \*\* > > hey man, Al Lewis is one hep cat. > > 🙂 \*\* Well, the latest thing I saw Al doing was some bad spring break type movie where he was surround by buxom co-eds rubbing their bubbies in his face. I guess I _could_ live with that. I guess I owe you thanks then, Bad News Babe 🙂 **Mangetout** I always misread as Magnet-out. **Big Kahuna Burger** of course reminds me of Sam Jackson. ---

I read **Mangetout** as “All the receding-hairline dogs of the world”. ---

Mangetout is a gourmand Mouthbreather–I always picture Darth Vader and that heavy breathing he does. Or else the guy who calls you on the phone and breathes heavily. ---

I will have you know, I do NOT prance. I sashay. Now that we have this cleared up, I just wanted to say that the only one that comes to mind is Hastur, who makes me think of Nena. “Hastur etwas Zeit für mich? Singen ich ein Lied für dich von neunundneunzich Luftballone…” ---

Oooh, ooh, I was reading this thread and planning to post just so someone would talk about me, and low and behold, **Flamesterette\_X** mentioned me without my sneaky prompting. Yea! **scott\_evil** , I think of Seth Green. **matt\_mcl** for some reason makes me think of Malcolm McLaren **Debaser** reminds me of the Pixies **Shagnasty** reminds me of a big shaggy, muddy dog **jarbabyj** reminds me of a little pickled fetus in a jar of formaldehyde (yuck - sorry jar!) **Bedrosian Bixby** reminds me of both Eric Begosian and Bill Bixby [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-usernames-whats-the-first-thing-you-think-of/119049.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-usernames-whats-the-first-thing-you-think-of/119049.md?page=6)
