Thanks for that, **Heart**. Using my first and last name gives Michael Draw.

My Travoltafied user name is **Brodie Payne** which sounds like a bad 80’s TV cop show character (probably a drug dealer).

My real name comes out as **Ahmed Seempzon** which means I’ll never get though an airport boarding gate again without being searched ☹

Mine was too dumb to count.

As evidence: my first name, Travoltified, is apparently Cameron.

Just, no.

Chantelle.  
Slate now seems to be working; for a while I just got it stripped as if the CSS were gone.

On the other hand, they adopted some weird method for links; which instead of just going through html, redirects through something called parsley.

Ghostery automatically blocks redirects.

It could be worse - my daughters are Che and Clarke.

It really seems to need a first and last name to achieve Travolta levels of weirdness.

Hi “Katie”. **Heart of Dorkness** was kind enough to enter my user name since I couldn’t while at work. I’m “Michael Edjans”, nice to meet a relative. We should hook up over a drink or two (or six) and share fond memories. 😃

I sure had one on mine. Was he addled? Drunk? Have memory problems? Have reading comprehension problems? I thought $cientology was supposed to help with stuff like that.

I think he had his face pulled too tight.

After seeing him on tv, I tweeted, “How did they get a wax statue of John Travolta to walk and talk like that?”

Oh, my username Travoltafized is Cian Warshington.

“SeldomSeen” Travoltified is… “Solomon”
