usernames... vote most/least original

Gotta admit I’m fond of CrankyAsAnOldMan myself. He gets my vote.

<hijack>

For months now I’ve been posting with that “ID my handle and win a prize” as a part of my sig. Whatever else I’ve changed…that has been constant.

Only Ellen has ever tried! Thanks Ellen! You da bomb!

There’s a real, honest to goodness prize involved here. A cool stuffed animal from Mrs Chances collection!

So who’s gonna try? What? Just because I don’t post 100 times a day I don’t get the cool kids to play with me?

AAgggghhhh!!!

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

ahem

Hey, mine’s not original… but I’m not a homeless old woman pushing a heavy shopping cart down the sidewalk, either. Mine’s punny, in that I review bags at my Web site.

I’m a bomb! How 'bout that! Jonathan, every time I see you post I’m reminded that I need to go questing for the source of your name again. I am always motivated by a prize. However, I must admit that at my house we are pretty much waist-deep in adorable stuffed animals. :wink:

Moe, Moe. I think we’re kindred spirits. I was thinking of your name and was reminded I used to call one of my high school boyfriends, Joey, “Joe Schmoe from Buffalo.” He in turn called me “Dot Schmot from Camelot,” which was pretty clever, since my middle name is Dorothy. :smiley:

I find Drain Bead to be the most original.

I remember seeing someone post that BoogarheelCatastrophe ( c&p’ed from MrX- see his disclaimer ) was an unfortunate choice for a user name. I didn’t understand why.

I thought that Arnold Winkelried was a real name. I think I will investigate this famous pikeman.

Another damn list that doesn’t mention me. I can’t even make the “least original” member name list. Good thing I have the voices to talk to about this kind of stuff. They tell me how to get even.

I was going to use my initials, too, and then I realized they might look bad (or good) LKR.

I don’t know if the teeming millions would interpret that as “licker” or “looker,” so I opted out.

Not that those aren’t true, as you can gather from my sig:

oops.

Here’s a vote for toadspittle

Okay, count me in with lee.
I am an unoriginal.

I like the name London_Calling despite the conflict I feel whenever I see it. Do I think about WWII or my favorite band, The Clash? Also, the names EvilGhandi, Imthecowgodmoo, neutron star, rastahomie, Spiritus Mundi, Thing 1, and Wonko The Sane tend to stand out to me. I’m not sure how much of the personalities of the posters play in to this.

I guess my own name is a tad hard to spell. My own sister kiffa can’t seem to get it right. It’s easy (and lower case because it’s a species name): b…r…a…c…h…y…(um, wait a minute while I scroll up)…r…h…y…n…c…h…o…s.

I protest!!! My name IS original. Of course, it is not my invention, but Douglas Adams was being quite original when he invented it. :slight_smile:

I like Drain Bead, just for the imagery it generates.

My initials are KRAF. For a long time, I thought I was destined to marry someone whose last name began with the letter T, but then I realized that I was just destined to go through middle school with the nickname macaroni and cheese.

They wonder why I go by andygirl.

DRY, dear, I know you detest “me, too” posts, but I will risk inciting your wrath.

Diane knows whereof she speaks. And she is right, right, RIGHT! I have said this same thing to you zillions of times. Okay, maybe only millions, but I am sure you get the picture.

You are an intelligent, kind, witty and beautiful man. And I will clonk anyone who says different, even if it is you.

So, do we finally have that straight?

Sweetie, I hate to break it to ya, but skuggi is a real word, it’s just in a foreign language. So, technically my username isn’t gibberish at all. Skuggi means shadow in Icelandic. Would you like to tell me my username is just some shit I randomly typed in by accident again? I can pull up proof if you don’t believe me.

::steps off of podium, drops baseball bat:::

Okay, I’ll bite.

What is her AIM username?

And (exposing my ignorance) what is AIM?

Ya know, you and Diane are right. Let’s give a new persona a spin:

Ohhhh, you make my heart all a’fluttery!!

Shucks, Lex!! Does that mean you still love me?! If only I had known!

I think Neuro trash Grrrl is one of the most original. I always liked Tiny Cow, too. Made me smile every time I saw it.

Scotti - AIM is AOL instant messenger. For those of us smart enough to not have AOL. My screen name is Flamingo Piece (what? who, me? like getting IMs? never!).

Ouch. Apparently, though I knew it wasn’t original, my username really sucks. I didn’t even realize I had successfully combined so many crappy elements. Well, what can you do?

As for most creative, there are a lot of them. Though Sue Duhnym probably sticks in my head as the most creative. I got it after the second or third time I saw her post. I still think it’s awsome.

Well, if you’re a licker AND a looker, then my next question to you is

“Are you single?” :stuck_out_tongue:

If your answer is “no”, then my next question is:

“Well, are you a fanatic about being married?” :smiley:
