What are your favorite other people’s usernames, based **solely on the name**?
I have lots, but my very most favorite has to be **Mahna Mahna**. [This](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYJuKX2j-Cw&feature=related) is why.
I also love **Exapno Mapcase** , **Bosda di’Chi of Tricor** , \*\*OtakuLoki \*\*, and **Harmonious Dischord**.
What _is_ an Exapno Mapcase, anyway?

Hey, I know that one. It is Harpo Marx’ name in Russian (Cyrillic). He explained that in a prior thread or three.
I like **Elendil’s Heir** but I am a Tolkien Fanatic.
**Qadgop the Mercotan** as I am a rare E.E. “Doc” Smith fan.
**twickster** : Makes me think of the Native American Coyote or Bugs Bunny and it turns out that Bugs was her partial inspiration (IRC)
**Ellis Dee** : The username made me laugh the first time I saw it.
There are more, but those four came to mind immediately.

Transliteration of the pronunciation of the Russian transliteration of Harpo Marx (Харпо Маркс).
My favourites are **Furious\_Marmot** and…er… **Fretful Porpentine** , which might actually be Porcupine. That’s how I always read it.
This seems to show that either I like two word names beginning with F, or that I have some attraction to animal names (if we take the mis-reading of Porpentine into account).

Yes, I have a weird sense of humor.

\*\*Czarcasm \*\*is the best name ever.
It took me like 6 months to “get” **Ellis Dee** , so I like that one, too.
Not a pun, but \*\*EtherealFreakofPinkness \*\*just makes me grin.

**Qadgop the Mercotan**. I’m a big fan of the Doc. (E. E. “Doc” Smith) oh and Doc **QtM**
**BobPi**. But that’s only because its been updated from when I knew him on a different message board back in the dark ages. (how’s it going pi guy?)
**WhatExit?** I’ve never been to New Jersey, but I got this right away. (I read a lot).
Oh and **Czarcasm** , just because.

I find it highly amusing that **Dinsdale** and **Spiny Norman** signed up independently of each other. I’m also partial to **Patty O’Furniture**.

[You’re right.](http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/porpentine)
It’s also actually a Shakespeare reference:
[QUOTE=the ghost of Hamlet’s father]
I am thy father’s spirit,
Doom’d for a certain term to walk the night,
And for the day confined to fast in fires,
Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature
Are burnt and purged away. But that I am forbid
To tell the secrets of my prison-house,
I could a tale unfold whose lightest word
Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,
Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres,
Thy knotted and combined locks to part
And each particular hair to stand on end,
Like quills upon the **fretful porpentine** :
But this eternal blazon must not be
To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list!
If thou didst ever thy dear father love–
[/QUOTE]
(My emphasis.)
I agree, it’s a cool name.

**upside down** (although with the fun and zany spelling that I don’t have time to figure out).

At the top of my head right now, in no particular order:
I thought **Satisfying Andy Licious** was great before he vanished. What’s great about that one is it works also as either “Andy Licious” or “Satisfying Andy”.
I liked **The Sausage Creature** but she is now **Queen Bruin**
Another old one that I haven’t seen for awhile is **Go You Big Red Fire Engine**
**Come To The Dark Side We Have Cookies** is another favorite.

[/QUOTE]
It doesn’t work those ways, right? It only works all together, or else, how can we hear it as ‘satisfying and delicious’? I think I don’t really get it. I’ve been known to not get jokes for a long ass time.

I kinda like **Darth Sensitive** for both the imagery and the sound of it. I always see Lord Vader knocking on his gf’s door with some hand-picked wildflowers behind his back, repeating, “Hey, I picked these for you. Hi there. I brought these for you. Hello… Helloooo. Aw crap.”
Plus the name Darth is just funny with words that aren’t as dark as it is. Darth Butterfly, Darth Rainbowsngumdrops.
