I think **37 Pieces of Flair** would be better than **Not Enough Flair**. Or perhaps **Pretty Boy Brian**. ---

:smack: Flair, I meant flair. Retardo Montalban is excellent, too. My hat is off to you! ---

Okay… enough with the Office Space related ideas. If I was going in that direction it would be **PC Load Letter** ---

Obviously you included **dutch** in your username for deep seated psychological reasons. I would therefore stick with it: **Dutch Elm Disease Dutch Courage Go Dutch In Dutch A Dutch of Evil** perhaps. ---

Even though it has nothing to do with anything, I like **Dr.Poon** as an homage to [Dr. Poon](http://www.hku.hk/physio/mspoon.html) (to keep the mods at bay). ---

Damnit! I just thought of **DutchDigger** or, if you’re a fashion forward kinda person **VonDutch**. Or for the hell of it, **PlaidSeagull,SlowontheUptake,SneakerPimp,or ScrewsAreLoose** ---

I’m going to be purely selfish for a moment and state that I’m sick of being the only **Vool** on the board. (On the other hand, there are far too many **Max** ’s of various sorts.) And “vool” even sounds vaguely Dutch. ---

**Retardo Montalban** is the best one. How about: DrunkOnLatex TechoTippler Glossy Finish Rita on a Cracker Follow the Yellow Brick Load OK, I got nothin’. ---

Well, if I can’t give _Office Space_ suggestions, how about: [ul] [li] **My Name is Muerte** [/li][li] **Remember Helsinki!** [/li][li] **A Literate Burglar** [/li][li] **Why Not Your Pants?** [/li][/ul] ---

On the other hand, I hate those stupid trucker hats! 2 hours and four minutes until midnight, when submissions officially end and I’ll announce the new handle. (I’m going on US Eastern time, just like God would have if the world had ended at the dawn of the millenium) ---

Okay, so the server went all squirrelly and I couldn’t make the announcement last night… I’ll do it when I get home from work tonight. ---
