Ilsa\_Lund’s a GUY? A STRAIGHT GUY? Okay, some of his posts make more sense now, but I still think of Ilsa Koch, She-Wolf of the SS, Bitch of Buchenwald, and Lampshade Queen of the Final Solution. :eek:

Think of Ingrid Bergman from Casablanca.

Ah.

Well. Teenage girl is right. Change “black” to “red” and we’re going places.

I have to say, though, I’ve always been afraid my handle gives off pretentious teenage gothgirl vibes, and this just about clinches it. Someone renamed me in the “Rename the previous poster thread” (no link because the board is being slow at the moment) and I liked the rename (is that a word?) so much I may just change my name for real.

And while I’m here, **misstee** gives me a mental image of a short lady with a straw hat. Don’t ask why.

…and that tremor in her lower lip as she leaves Rick. So noble! So self-sacrificing! And those lips, so full and inviting! Imagine them wrapped around your…

Ahem. I guess I’ve gotten Ilsa Koch out of my head.

Nope, no conwoman in me! 😃 although I’m sure SOME people would say something different…

**if6was9** makes me think of some Jimi Hendrix song / album, though I’m not even sure it was by Hendrix. Oh well.

Yup, at least you got one thing right. 🙂 Redundancy is all right… I’ve been guilty of it myself. It’s all good… I think…

I guess I must have just glommed on to the first part and thought it was “flamester.” That and the poster lno, who is _not_ Ino. Now if I mention someone in a post, I usually paste it into my post rather than risk misspelling it.

Heh… guess you’re right on that one… if it’s satisfying to BOTH parties, then nobody can complain. maybe suggest tweakage here and there, but no actual complaints…

Don’t worry about that… people always think it’s “Flamester.” Not a thing I can do about it.

And speaking of copying and pasting names into posts… you obviously didn’t do that with **Cartooniverse**.

Incidentally, **Cartooniverse** makes me think of someone who does cartoon depictions of Bible verses.

**Lisa-go-Blind** makes me think that she’s just gone through a Saul-experience. 😉

**SiXSwordS** maes me think of French 12 class, where Mr. McCallum would draw six lances on the boards to signify “_silence_!”

**Flamsterette\_X** - long-legged, naughty whip-wielding hamster chick in black pleather that is beating some mice that are tied to St. Augustine crosses while a rat is stretched on the rack and a shrew is hung from his ankles in the middle of her chambers. Sweet, sweet _pain_… Oh, Mistress X!

**NurseCarmen** - I used to think of NurseCarmen as a brunette nurse in an emergency room, now I know he is a he, I don’t have that mental image anymore.

**Lieu** - I love his posts. I always think of a loo when I see his name.

**Slainte** —I know this is weird, but I think of him/her as an abandoned, slanted tombstone in an Irish cemetery.

**Flamsterette\_X** —black-leather clad punk leader of a girl band

**FairyChatMom** —a kinda motherly fairy who’s always giving out advice (gossamer wings and a housedress)

**Rilchiam** —there’s a character in the Chronicles of Narnia (from The Silver Chair—Prince what’shisface) who has a similar name, so I think you’re him.

Why didn’t anyone tell me sangune is actually a color?

Honest, I did not know that.

**Slainte** I keep wanting to pronounce SLAHN-tcha.

**booklover** I see in a library with nose in a book.

**Rilchiam** reminds me of “Henry the VIII I Am.” 😃

**mangeorge** I keep reading as “orange”.

**SixSwordS** reminds me of fencing.

**Lobsang** reminds me of Zoidberg from Futurama.

Ever since **Loneraven** ’s post, **misstee** reminds me of “sweet tea”.

maybe **Loneraven** could borrow part of **SanguineSpider** ’s name to reflect her color of dress.  
**SanguineSpider** I never would have thought of you as being in the least bit a goth… I don’t know why, but I always thought of you as the Motherly type. Where do people come up with these things.

BTW as for my name, I haven’t seen any comments that come close to it’s source. I was interested in **Flamsterette\_X** ’s take. Same with **misstee** take, although what a medieval good guy does I don’t know.

**Six** , I am a mom… and I’m goth. Scary, isn’t it?
