\*\*Earl “Snake-Hips” Tucker \*\* makes me smile every time I think of it. I imagine some 50’s-era football player. **Cal Meachum** is one of my faves because I like the reference. **Pinkfreud** is good too. Multiple allusions in that one. ---

**CometotheDarkSideWeHaveCookies** rocks and that’s probably my favorite, and there’s a special place in my heart for all of the Marx Brothers names, like **Exapno Mapcase** , **RTFirefly** and a couple of others. We used to have a poster called **FireUnderpantsBoobs** - or maybe she’s still around with a different name - and that’s probably the closest to a laugh-out-loud-funny handle on this board, in my opinion. **BellRungBookShut-CandleSnuffed** , I think you’d be on my list. **Illuminatusprimus** for the reference to some of my favorite books. **Gangster Octopus** gets a special award for Simpsons Reference It Took Me the Longest to Notice. ---

Oh, yes, I love the name **Go You Big Red Fire Engine**. Reading it is like being a kid again! I also love the names **yams!!** (and I’m glad she (?) kept the extra exclamation mark) and from a long time ago, **broccoli!**. Apparently I find excitement over food to be great fun! There really are so many that I like. **Mangetout** is fun, because it’s a source of constant confusion, and who doesn’t like **ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies**. I can never think of these things when these threads come up, though! ---

**Qadgop the Mercotan** **Czarcasm** **C K Dexter Haven** **Darth Sensitive** **iamthewalrus(:3=** An honorable mention to a name I always get excited about finding in old threads, **Master Wang-Ka** And I’ll add **Ellis D** because I never got it until just now. ---

[QUOTE=Queen of Town] I like **pinkfreud** , **fluiddruid** , **Millit the Frail** and **Miss Purl McKnittington**. [/QUOTE] Thanks! I usually fly under the radar since it’s not a joke or a pun or anything. 🙂 I guess it started out as an inside joke that made _me_ laugh, but…well, thanks!! I laughed out loud the first time I saw **Beware of Doug**. ---

[QUOTE=Sophistry and Illusion] Yay! I finally got a vote. I figure I fly under most people’s radar. [/QUOTE] Me too, and it only took 9 years! I found out Mangetout was snow peas a couple months ago, so it ties in with his obsession with peas. Who else would have built a pea pod boat? It was a fun project to follow. ---

[QUOTE=WhyNot] \*\*Czarcasm \*\*is the best name ever. It took me like 6 months to “get” **Ellis Dee** , so I like that one, too. [/QUOTE] I still don’t think I get it. I didn’t think there was anything to get…explain? 🙂 Also, I like **Harriet the Spry**. ---

[QUOTE=gravitycrash] Oh man. this makes me feel worse. Perhaps I should have had a little less blotters growing up. :smack: [/QUOTE] I thought that was why I did get it so fast. 😃 Every once in a while I miss acid, then I remember I am married, have kids and I am middle aged and LSD made me do some really stupid things. ---

I like the pun names; Candid Gamera always make me smile because I think “Smile! You’re on Candid Gamera.” and then I laugh because that conjours up all sorts of images. [sub]some dirty[/sub] pinkfreud, Shirley Ujest, Hilarity N. Suze and many more. And now that I know the secret behind Exapno Mapcase, I have a new favorite. ---

I tried to respond earlier today, but the server just wasn’t having it… **Czarcasm!!** How could I have forgotten? And the only reason I left **Twickster** out is that my liking of the person, and of the name, are so much alike as to be indistinguishable. On the other hand, although I always really liked **kawaiitentaclebeast** ’s name, I found him to be crusty, contrary and – ooooh, good thing I looked up the spelling! Seems he’s morphed into another of my favorite names, **Throatwarbler Mangrove**. Heh! Hi, **Throatwarbler**! Ahhhh, yes, **Ellis Dee** – many-greats grandson of John Dee, Elizabeth the First’s gnostic astrologer; grand-nephew to Sandra Dee; second cousin once removed to Mikkey Dee of Motörhead. …What? ---
