How am I only now noticing that there is a user named **HeadNinja** here? I knew about **NinjaChick** but somehow it escaped me that someone has a username so similar to mine. Did I see their posts and just subconsciously assume it was something I’d written?
Anyway, just a mundane and pointless identity crisis I thought I’d share.

Am I married to HelloNinja, HeadNinja, or NinjaChick?
I can never remember.

Remember- ninjas are like cockroaches. For every ninja you see, there’re five hundred you don’t.

54 users have the word ninja in their username, including such fine names as **Neon Ninja Nightmare** , **Little Plastic Ninja** , **HotNinjaChick** , **GrammarNinja** , and **Dr. PimpNinja**. You are in good company.

Some try to hide behind a disguise but aren’t very good at it, such as \*\*Lightnin’\*\ ***ja**

**Viking Ninja** must’ve been a hardass. Or just very confused.

Just out of curiosity, how many have “monkey”? There’s got to be plenty of us, too. Double points to somebody if their user name is “monkey ninja”.\*
\*Come to think of it, “monkey ninja” sounds pretty damn kickass

183 monkeys.
**A\_EVIL\_MONKEY\_LIVES\_IN\_MY\_HEAD** , **CallCenterMonkey** , **everyone loves monkeys** , **imamonkey** , **monkeyonmyback** , **softy softy catchy monkey** , **Spank the Monkey**. You’re in good company too.
And I’d pay to watch a monkey with a gun vs. monkey ninja cage fight.

The only other **xash** was a troll who signed up when I became mod:
**Is xash going to be a good mod**
That was seriously his username. I guess I’m in good company too, eh?
