[incredulous look]

Your name **isn’t** racerx\*\*?

Wait. It’s so simple. All I would need to do is find out Speed Racer’s real name, and I’d know half of yours! BWHAHAHA!

The world is mine!

I’m Mmeow4000 at work (Meow was taken, Mmeow as well, so I went a little nuts there with the numbering) and TofuRose at home.

I used to use ICQ sometimes too but don’t much anymore.

My SN is Sxylady852  
My 'puter automatically logs me in when I turn it on, so I’m in AIM from 8-5 every day.

I missed the ChiDope fest, so I’d love to chat with anybody willing. Flirts are welcome. 🙂

Ready for this one? Its another surprise… Medeas Child.

And if I ignore you, don’t be miffed…I leave my comp on when I’m not around, it has informed me that its trying to control several third world contries and needs its alone time to do so.

Damn you, **dantheman** for your clever deductive capabilities.

This reminds me of the time I was racing through the rain forest and my rivals turned out to be the famed acrobatic assassins. . .

I guess that would be Callie00004. This use to be my secret SN that none of my friends or family knew about but what the hell… well, actually they still don’t so as long as you promise not to tell them 🙂 IM me anytime.

**Mrstrag767.**

My husband’s stage name is Tragedy James. I wanted to be Mrstragedy, but that was taken. So was Mstragedy. But since a lot of his musician friends refer to me as Mrs. Trag, I took that instead, and added my birthday. Oh, and it’s Trag with a J sound, not a hard G. 😃

for matters of simplicity: **VogueVixen**

and, yes, any other message board user bearing a “voguevixen” is probably me. What can I say? One alter ego is complicated enough!
