**Philo Dendron** is still available, as is **Hippocampus Polopony**. The next time I need a username that isn’t muddy, though – I think I’m just going to pick one at random from my spam folder. I just cleared it out yesterday, but today we have: **[ul][_]Luana Funderburke[_]Hesiod Galicia[_]Lemminka Frandsen[_]Objectivity L. Parsec [/ul]**(I get a lot of these noun-middleinitial-noun ones like that last – Why? Maybe if they were _proper_ nouns, it would kinda-sorta look like a legit e-mail.) 😕 ---

Of the set thus far, I like **Giant-Size Man-Thing** the best. It’s funny at least twice. And it reduces to an acronym relatively well. If I were to change my handle, I think I’d go with **Mr. Cheaterson**. I probably won’t change, though, so feel free to take that one if it’s still available. I’m pretty good at superhero names – what’s your origin, archetype and powerset? 🙂 ---

So far, I like: **Dorkus Malorkus Giant-Size Man-Thing Perfectly Cromulent** A few others are ok, as well. A couple more I thought up: \*\*Zombie Hunter Jonas **Wednesday Barman** (this was done using the two random words pointed to in a book approach) and **Clueless Z. McFuckwit** (though methinks the mods may not like a cuss word in a username.) ---

Apropos of nothing, I guess, but last week I drove past a church with a banner out front that said “Casa del Amigo”. But when I first glimpsed it, it registered in my mind as “ **Casa del Mango** ”. My first thought was that that would be a cool username. ---
