When I think polycarp, I think of a three-headed carp. Svt4Him and His4Ever, I see as some of those members of my local Christian Fellowship who try to play rubber-band games to try to convert me. Heh. ---

**Ilsa\_Lund** , every time I see your name I think of Dr. Elsa Schneider from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Every time I see the name **Fionn** , I want to brush up on my Irish. **Darkhold** , like it or not, your name conjures up thoughts of ouija boars. 😃 **spogga** : I think of some sort of board game. **Max Carnage** : sounds like a character from the game _Carmageddon_. ---

**NoClueBoy** always has a refreshing left-field take on things. Makes me laugh. 😃 And I remember having a debate/conversation with **El\_Kabong,** but I don’t remember what it was…he’s a fellow Texan though, so it couldn’t have been too bad, right? **Guinevere** reminds me frequently of myself. **Lezlers** and I always find ourselves in those “Do You Tip” threads, usually agreeing that people are cheap bastards. 😃 **Ringo** is always eye-catching, b/c he combines the Beatles and Texas…two of my favorites. 😉 And I didn’t know **Ilsa\_Lund** wasn’t a girl til this thread… ---

**Audrey Levins** makes me think of Le Fauleux Destin’ D’Amelie Poulain, one of my favorite movies; Audrey Hepburn (can’t beat that) and a bunch of awesome sounding drinks that I can’t have for a couple of years. 😃 Audrey is my favorite girl’s name. ---

I thought it was “mange tout,” French for “eats everything.” Perhaps he’ll stop in and clarify. ---

**lissener** – quiet, slight, bookish, and filled with unspoken wisdom **Ilsa Lund** – Tiger Woods’s girlfriend. (And for that, I thank you) **Cadbury Angel** – those giant chocolate easter bunnies that were the piece de resistance (sp?) in any Easter basket **blowero** – the cartoonish personification of the West wind blowing across the great plains **Guinevere** – Julia Ormond . . . I have no idea why, but thank you for that **Audrey Levins** – the correct answer is probably Audrey Hepburn, but for some reason, I always think of the lead character from “Amelie,” only more assertive **Max Carnage** – Max Payne, from the videogame; always scowling and packing heat **Dark Hold** – one of the wizardly mice from the Secret of Nimh **spogga** – a combination of Spock and a sponge . . . I have no idea what that means **NoClueBoy** – that smiling, simply-drawn caricature of Conan O’Brien they show sometimes while breaking to commercials, only blonde (for some reason) **av8rmike** – Maverick from Top Gun **Lady Sybil** – Cybil Sheppard **Gadfly** – the guy at the end of the bar, smoking and playing bar trivia **El Kabong** – like someone mentioned before, I always think of Kang and Kodos (from the Simpsons), only I always end strongly on the “bong” part, so he’s carrying a lit water bong in one tentacle I have a feeling the Freud (or Rorsarch) would look at all of these and say that they reflect more on me than on your names. And he’d quickly diagnose me as a loony. ---

> [@](#): > > _Ilsa Lund:_ > WTF??? I know, I know. I apologize. I didn’t realize you are a man until I read this thread. But I can’t help it. I really like thinking of the image of [Tiger Woods’s Swedish model girlfriend](http://www.rick.com/tiger-elin.htm) [BEWARE! Bikini pics in the attached link!!], and your name sounds vaguely like a Swedish supermodel (to me). Maybe you could cure me of that by telling me what your name really means. **Mangetout** – a mangy, but loveable, dog, whose ears are always perked up and whose head is always tipped inquisitively to the side **jackelope** – a jackelope (I realize that’s not incredibly imaginative) ---

**Gadfly** I always picture outside relaxing in a red button-down. I have the same mental image of **Ilsa\_Lund** and **NurseCarmen** , I guess because you’re both guys with girl names. **Max Carnage** looks like the offspring of Max Headroom and Max Payne. **Mangetout** has a mango for a head. I don’t remember what I thought of **NoClueBoy** before, because now whatever mental image was there is replaced by **Age Quod Agis** ’s image of blond cartoon Conan O’Brien. You’ll go well with **Satisfying Andy Licious** , as he looks to me like Andy Richter.
