dantheman, Hmmm. Well, that’s different. I haven’t gotten around to reading The Celestine Prophecy. Is it good?
[giggle] Awww gee, Skerri, thanks. I’m flattered that you think I’m a humorous, smartass fairy. I do try. :innocent eyes:
Wow, Mephisto, what nice images. Thank you, hon. I’m surprised that you came up with the Celestial Seasons tea. I do find that I drink a lot of their tea. I’ve not heard of Glen Danzig, though.
Here’s more names:
Skerri makes me think of the liquor, Sherry, and also of the word “scary.”
Tamerlane makes me think of “tamborine,” but I also get the sense of this general, whom everyone fears, but who is just a real sweetie at heart.
Opalcat makes me think of a opal kitty figurine.
Mephisto makes me think of a particular symphony conducted by Kurt Mazur. I think it’s the Mephistopholes/Mephisto? symphony. I can’t recall right now who wrote it. I’ll have to check my CDs and get back to you. It’s a great CD, btw. Very dramatic.
Go alien makes me think of an alien cheerleeding squad that has green skin, big black eyes, and skinny bodies. They’re just full of spirit, but I’m not sure exactly what kind of alien sport they’re cheering for.
Anthracite makes me think of a strong, dark woman whom folks do not cross.
Larry Mudd makes me think of a smart, young Elmer Fudd.
Green Bean gets me to thinking about fresh vegetables picked from the vine and eaten raw. Yum.

Gartog conjures images of nuts or bolts or whatever you call the parts of a machine that hold things in place.

Biggirl is a superheroine that no one messes around with.
monstro brings to mind a monster.
auntie em reminds me more of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz than her aunt.
LaurAnge always makes me think of blancmange. dantheman makes me think about my friend Dan from high school, I used to call him that all the time. Polycarp reminds me of the Douglas Adams story where the robots await “the great genital coming” - there’s a Dr Polycarp in there somewhere.
See, it’s a good thing I didn’t come up with some made-up name, like most of you have, as opposed to my real name - cause the associations I’m seeing in this thread are usually pretty favorable!
You’re darn close, Flamsterette! My screenname used to be Angélique, then shortened to Ange. I started to want to be identified a bit as my real name though, so I added the Laur. I still use Angélique, LaurAngelique and Ange in some places, though.
Hmmmm…to make things even, Flamsterette_X brings to mind Marvel Comics’ female manga version of the Human Torch.
Fenris brings to mind massive viking warriors, having just returned from a stag hunt.
CrankyAsAnOldMan reminds me of my home in Ann Arbor, MI, 'cause that’s where I met her.
Guinastasia reminds me of russian royalty and X-Wings at the same time. Boy, there’s an interesting combination… [Russian female voice]"Red seven, standing by.[/Russian female voice].

TubaDiva reminds me of the day we had a nasty blizzard in Michigan this year, and I STILL had to go to school. (I ended up talking with Tuba briefly over an instant messenger that day.)
Um… thanks. An infomercial with Ron Jeremy and severely plastic women? Quite the image, at any rate.
Oh, my… I was that close? :eek: That was just a guess, and an impression. My goodness…
I think it’s a good thing I’m not into manga or anime, otherwise I would know exactly what you’re talking about. (and somehow I don’t think I want to know)
I have some more, actually: (thanks to my memory being jogged)
Guinastasia always reminds me of the movie (and book) Nicholas and Alexandra, about the last Russian czar and his family. Supposedly, Anastaisa was the only one to survive the imperial family’s execution. (I’ve got to get me that book, seeing as I’ve liked it for years)
UncleBeer reminds me of a jovial bartender in a busy pub or bar, dishing out drinks and listening to people’s problems.
jackelope always makes me think of some girl on a ladder, calling to her boyfriend: “Jack darling! It’s time to elope!” Yes, I know that the boy usually had that role, but I find it interesting if the roles were reversed. (and yes, I know what a jackelope really is… thanks, [lel)
Anthracite putrs me in mind of an anthropologist. That, or an anthropod. (if there’s such a thing)
Scotticher makes me think of a girl writing love letters in French to her boyfriend: “Cher Scotty, Je t’aime passionment…”

Astro and Astroboy14? No question: the Jetson’s cute dog.
InternetLegend makes me think of someone who’s so truly a legend that her name pops up on every search engine, no matter what you do a search for.
screech-owl makes me think of Dustin Diamond, who played Screech on Saved By The Bell. (I once had a very nice dream about him :D)
mouthbreather makes me think of some creature that only breathes through its mouth, and is incapable of drawing air through its nose.
Gunslinger makes me think of the Old West sherriffs, with their loaded carbine .45s with buckshot, ready to defend their little frontier towns.

The Wrong Girl makes me think of that musical group Everything But The Girl. (they took that name from a furniture store)

F_X
Okay, honest to god truth on this one - Milossarian always makes me think of “millenarian”, a concept that always reminds me of the Taqui Ongo, an obscure millenarian sect practiced by 16th century Peruvians resistant to the Spanish conquest, who happened to be a side-topic in a term paper I once wrote in a Colonial Latin America class in college.
Fenris - for some reason, I always picture him as the embodiment of vaudeville. Anybody who can spin those huge musical parodies on the spot has to be all showman. So, a vaudeville entertainer in a really bad suit. No, I don’t care about the Norse origins.
Scylla - Sheep.
elucidator - “Hey, that rhymes with my name! … wait, no it doesn’t.” Every time. Every freakin’ time.
Coldfire - again, I don’t know why, but I always think of Coldie as a badass, beer-drinkin’, kick ass and take names, anti-hero… a sorta Bruce Willis type.
Sapphire Bullet - pure love.
TwistofFate - Matt Hardy with an Irish accent.
ResIpsaLoquitor I always picture as being surrounded by a mountain of law books.
Here are my bizarre mental pictures conjured up by various usernames:
Arnold Winkelreid- I always picture Fonzie from Happy Days sitting at a computer. Why, I know not.
Scylla- I will now always see one of those self-propelled pool cleaners whenever I read this name.
Guinastasia makes me think of Guenivere. I picture her as a hippy with long blonde hair wearing a crown.
LaurAnge makes me think of an angel and also of Canada.
scott evil is of course Seth Green.
Hastur makes me think of one of the demons from Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens- one of them is named Hastur. For some reason, I also often think of RiffRaff from Rocky Horror when I see this username. I don’t know why.
Esprix makes me think of my friend Rick, who has spiky brown hair and glasses. Also, a package of those candies called ‘smarties’. I’m not sure why.
OpalCat always makes me think of the ‘Jesus-on-pogostick’ boxers I bought from her website. Also, I think of large straw hats with flowers on them- maybe because of the picture on her website.
LolaCocaCola- a bottle of Coke. I also picture her as my friend Joanna, a petite girl with long curly hair.
Sublight- I picture Japanese public toilets. (Sorry! The location and wiping threads, y’know?)
ResIpsaLoquitor reminds me of that guy who played the assistant DA on Law and Order a couple of years ago.
MST3K=Mystery Science Theatre 3000, the excellent show where a guy and two robots trapped on a spaceship are forced to watch bad movies while they heckle them. You can still catch it on the Sci-Fi Channel on Saturday mornings. (and I am neither cool, nor in the know either :))
I think of a hill billy (think of I love lucy when she’d dres up like a yokel). This hill billy, however, is sitting on a throne with a crown fashioned out of corn cobs.
I see gingham (red and white) and hear the words: fixin’ to, mean mouthin’ and gol’ ding it when I see your name.
mouthbreather I picture this big ol’ stanky gorilla standing next to some weirdo guy in sunglasses.
Max Carnage: I picture some suave serial killer…but more along the lines of Max Power’s brother. ResIpsaLoquitor: a dinosaur on a respirator.
**pezpunkb]: is the dealer guy on the corner trying to push pez on you.
CRorex: a bottle of Clorax.
gatopescado: a cat and a fish(specifically the fish friend of jabberjaw), but not a catfish as that’s not the word for it in spanish. John Carter of Mars:I always say to myself: “not to be confused with John Carter of Venus”.
Rue da Day:is the guy from Planet of the apes (Charleton Heston), shaking his fist at the apes: Get your stinkin’ paws off me, you filthy ape. (then I add) You will rue the day, ya filthy ape!
I do try. :innocent eyes:
I’m surprised that you came up with the Celestial Seasons tea. I do find that I drink a lot of their tea. I’ve not heard of Glen Danzig, though.
