El Dorado or Sedan de Ville. Never Cimmarron, though.
Whaddaya mean? This IS my real…oh never mind.
It was either that or Elmo McWetzelstein
Peaches just came naturally.
Now I’ve thought about:
cheapes
Flunky Wafflenose
FlunkyBubbleBuns
ZsaZsaStinkHumperdink
Zasu Pitts - I like the sound but not the character actor
L’Africaine
IDcrisis
Like the sounds of Bobodialasso and Glossamer…
Maybe I should go by my real name which i
skriek worry about that triple-post. . .
I’m SmoothOperator on the FFF board and I wish now that I had used that here. I may still change it because I don’t have many posts here yet.
I never actually considered anything other than UncleBeer. UncleBeer is a nickname I’ve had for 10+ years now. I even used to have it on my answering machine.
*“You’ve reached UncleBeer at 876-5309. I can’t take your call right now; I’m out looking for a cold Molson beer. If you’d like to leave a message, I’ll return your call when I sober up.”
I’ve always had this ‘lovable’ nickname…
StaceThePotatoFace
…but I chose to skip it.
Osip Mandelstam (but I went with just the first name)
Mayakovsky (russian poet I like)
Man Covered in Fish (minor character in a book I liked(Good Omens))
Monkey Loving Jesus (a Trade Wars character I played on-line. Everyone hated my Evelangical style)
Icarus (my original screen name from long ago)
Northstar - in honor of my native Minnesota
Thoroughbred - a family joke that offended a couple of my thin-skinned and humorless cousins.
But I decided to be descriptive instead
My first choice was “entropy”, but it seems someone beat me to it. That person made a total of one post six months ago. Nuts.
Never wanted another. I’ve always been Dusy, like in real life (short for my last name).
I was LaughingCow at one BB, after the brand of my favorite cheese, but people kept calling me “her”. (I’m a “him”, as if you couldn’t tell from my new name, thank you very much!)
i like trees.
Since it’s my username on ICQ and this happens to NOT be ICQ, I chose a new name for my new surroundings. Hence, mega the roo.
The end.
I almost went with PingSweep.
It’s the nickname I use for just about everything else (irc, icq, quake…)
But then I decided to use my real name… I dunno why…
uranus was subject to misinterpretation.
mtgrrl is my name elsewhere, but I decided that this was such a large board that I would hide my gender. Guess the game’s up, what with being a hag (uncategorized) and all. Plus, people read it “empty girl” instead of “mountain girl”.
A few that occurred to me at the time:
Max Power- with respect to Homer Simpson
Googly- due to my overwhelming use of that search engine
Verbose- Self-referential irony- I think it’s funny that there is a “fancy” word for ‘wordy’.
I almost went with Fonzarelli by mistake.
I thought it would be asking for both Real Names and User ID’s, like some other boards.
Ugnet
Ninegu
The Artists Formerly Known as Tengu
Heheh
Never actually considered going with anything other than ‘Tengu’.
Would have taken ‘Tengusama’ if I couldn’t get Tengu, though. (That’s the usual backup.)
