This (or my older variation, VoodooDragon) has been my screen name for years. Everywhere I go that needs a SN, I use this. So, help me come up with a new SN. Maybe I’ll send the winner a quarter in PayPal, or something. Hehe. It’s gonna be an Internet Life Change. Changine my Email, AIM SN, webpage addy, LJ (if I can - can you?), etc. So, it has to be good. And hopefully unique, so I don’t have to put numbers on the end. To help, I like the following: Dragons Snakes Tattoos Piercings All things wierd Black Silver Winter stuff So . . . help! I’m not the creative type. ---

How 'bout **WeirdSilverScalyThing** , or just **Silver Scaly Thing**? Perhaps something nice and simple- **Serpentine**? ---

I like **dutchboy208** ’s suggestion of **WeirdSilverScalyThing** , but it’s a bit cumbersome. If you want something that conveys the same meaning but isn’t quite so long\*, how about **Giraffe’s Cock**? Yes, nothing says “weird and scaly” quite like **Giraffe’s Cock**! - Don’t even bother ---

Since **Ag** is the periodic-table symbol for silver, you could opt for a capitalization of it in such a name as **BlizzardDrAGon**. Snake-related puns: **Lance DeFer** **Anna Conda** **Mamba #5** (if you’re willing to consider a numerical moniker) **Bushmaster** (lots of potential for political and sexual wordplay there) **BBQ Pit Viper** (if you spend a lot of time reading that forum) ---

\*\*Fistful of Weasels \*\* is quite catchy, maybe I should auction it off on Ebay or something. ---

Inspired by **Shirley Ujest** They have nothing to do with dragons or anything on your list, but **Fistful of Weasels** reminded me of Clint Eastwood. High Plains Weasel Space Weasels Magnum Weasel Dirty Weasel For a Few Weasels More The Good, The Bad, and the Weasels and something from your list Draco Sable ---
