People often make the assumption that I am a 12yo girl because of the characters used in my name. It is not far from the truth because my, at the time, 12yo neice made it for me…(I am actually a 32yo m) I have weird visuals of lots of names here but they are too numerous and hard to describe. Well, **Meatros** for example reminds me of that SNL skit with the Greek resteraunt guys who always say “you lika da juice, yes?” when they go on a quest to Mt. Olympus to pray to a god of juice…I can’t remember the name of the god but I think **Meatros** in my mind! 😃 There are more…so many more…brain hurts…must take nap now… ---

**Mangetout** tells an amusing story about a misunderstanding about his username. Very amusing. He should come in here and put that link up. I get **Mangetout** and **mangeorge** confused all the time. I call **Pucette** Pursette all the time-- to her face, even and I don’t know why, but even after he said it wasn’t so, **pizzabrat** is a teenaged girl in my head. ---

Any minute know he’s going to come in here and go on about how no one ever registered as **Atomic Badger Racing**. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by 1ofthegulls \* > \*\*The meat mixture, served in loaf form \*\* um, I think you will still have to be more specific… 😉 Some of the ones that got me: bdgr- went to a dopefest and heard people referring to this guy as Badger. I had no idea who he was - I always read his names as initials. also, Mouthbreather - I keep reading this as “Goomba” for some reason. [sub] you know I kid ya breatheybabe[/sub] ---

:eek: ::chokes on his baked ziti, then ruins his rayon shirt:: Ad me to the list of people who had trouble with mangetout. Mange-wha? I finally read it as man get out (which I assume is correct) about 2 weeks ago. ---

I think Mangetout is French for “Eats everything.” Mange tout. I’m probably wrong. Everyone refers to me as MrInvisible. I get all huffy when that happens. ---

Whoa. I read **Mangetout** as French for, roughly, “eats everything.” ---

**Mangetout** means for his username to be French for “eats everything”. I’m sure of this because of that thread from long ago where there was the misunderstanding. **Mangetout** linked to it once, but I won’t do it unless he comes in here and says it’s OK. It’s pretty funny, though. ---

I have to remember that lno and Elenfair sound alike. Then I know it isn’t Ino. And I’m sure everyone reads Dangerosa as some form of Danger Red - and almost no one knows about the 12th century woman I stole the name from. ---

Originally thought that **Mangetout** was man-get-out until I went shopping and saw mangetout in the vegie isle. They are like snow peas and pronounced ‘mahnj too’… Funky French word. ---

**Dangerosa** : Your username reminds me of Danger Mouse. **Washte** : Your username intrigues me. It makes me think of washing clothes using stones by the riverside?!
