Ok, reading a Pit Thread: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=31156](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=31156) Brought up this question: if your username reflects the condition of your brain, what does yours say about you? I guess for me, it means my brain smells like incense (I know the spelling’s off, but that’s where it came from). Hmmm. ---

I think, in my case, it’s pretty self-explanatory. ---

**I actually never wear tshirts** and only own one, a souvenir Tin Tin from my daughter ( 😃 ). I just like open collars, nothing pressing on my adam’s apple. But, if it reflects my brain… Perhaps it means I smell funky? Nope, checked. Perhaps it means I live cheap? I wish. Casual? No, prefer suits. But I guess it does reflect my love of the witty catch phrase. I once gave away tshirts at a museum director’s convention (I had a booth selling interactive computer displays) that said “I Never Met a Museum I Didn’t Like” Couldn’t keep up with demand, had to make a mailing list when we ran out of Medium. ---
