[QUOTE=Beware of Doug] **Bell,** if youā€™re looking inā€¦why only the _one_ hyphen? Two or none, I can understand, but why just one? [/QUOTE] Well, originally I was going to simply put spaces between the rung and the shut, but I was one character shy of being able to do that. Then I realized that in my head I was reading the series with a mental pause before the last action, giving it a bit more weight. So while I know that in order to signify a pause, I should really have a dash (ie 2 hyphens), I was again one character short. I figured Iā€™d get the reading of it across anyway. So it turned out to be ā€œYa ring the bell, ya close that book-- and _then_ you put out those there candles.ā€ I canā€™t tell you how many damn tries it took me to get the stupid order right in Zork. Damn laughing souls, always makinā€™ fun of me. ---

Iā€™ve gotten a giggle or two from Happy Scrappy Hero Pup. My kids didnā€™t understand last week when I was cracking up more than usual while watching that scene in ā€˜Clerksā€™. Freudian Slit is hysterical. But from AOL years ago was my favorite name of all time: YesOuiSi. Genuis. ---

I get a kick out of every time that **Ivylass** refers to her husband as **Ivylad** , and her kids as **Ivyboy** and **Ivygirl**. I know, those arenā€™t usernames, per se, but I love the way people will incorporate their name when referring to the family. Similarly, **MouseMaven** (who I havenā€™t seen around here since she had a ā€œmouselingā€) referred to her husband as **MouseSpouse**. I laugh every time I think of that. ---

[QUOTE=iamthewalrus(:3=] **look!ninjas** is another great exclamatory user name, but my favorite in that category (perhaps overall) is **Interrobang?!** [/QUOTE] Love **Interrobang?!** I also like **well heā€™s back**.

Back in my lurker days ( cause just over 200 posts in 2 years isnā€™t a lurker :rolleyes:) there was a poster who always made me laugh. SILENT BOB - as far as I can remember he only ever posted in smiles, never actually posted a single word, but hot damn did a lot of expression come out in that. ---

Yay, I got a name check! Score one for the shameless attention whore (even if it was misspelled). **Unauthorisedcinnamon** is my favourite name, if only because it amuses me to think about what process one would go through to authorise a spice. **Heffalumpandroo** and **Iamthewalruss(:3=** always bring a smile to my face too. I also like **Helenā€™s Eidolon** , donā€™t ask me why though. ---

Itā€™s not a great username, but it is one that gives me pause. Everytime I see a post from \*\*11011000110 \*\*( or is t **101010111** , or **001110101** , or **101010101** ā€¦ I give up) I wonder if he ever has to write down his username every time he wants to login in. I mean, Iā€™m a jumbled set of letters and a number, but heā€™s just chaos in numbers. Chaos I tell you. Also, it might be easier if his username was the same as his password. At least he repetition would make it easier to remember. Hell no I ainā€™t trying. I canā€™t even remember his name in the first place. Also, Iā€™m thinking of asking the great admins in the sky for a new name again as well. **bbs2k** is a nice abbreviation, but people are starting to forget that it used to belong to the member formerly known as **bigbugssting2kill**. Iā€™m warming up to an affectionate nickname that Iā€™ve been given. ---

I like **Bosstone** and **Lisa-go-blind** because theyā€™re references to two of my favorite bands. I like the Monty Python themed **Dinsdale** , **Spiny Norman** and **Throatwarbler Mangrove** (his name gets thrown around more than he knows!) I laughed when I saw **Nutty Bunny** ā€™s name because the _Kids In The Hall_ sketch heā€™s (presumably) named after is hilarious. ---

[QUOTE=ChiefScott] **staggerlee** \*ā€œBaio,ā€ Delia said, ā€œjust give me your gun, He shot my Billy dead, now Iā€™m gonna see him hung.ā€ She waded to DeLyonā€™s club through Billy DeLyons blood. Stepped up to Staggerlee at the bar and said, ā€œBuy me a gin fizz love!ā€ As Staggerlee lit a cigarette she shot him in the balls. Blew the smoke off her revolver, had him dragged to city hall. ā€œBaio, Baio, see you hang him high, He shot my Billy dead and now heā€™s got to die!ā€\* ā€“ Robert Hunter, performed by The Grateful Dead [/QUOTE] You probably know already, but for anybody who doesnā€™t: The Grateful Dead are nowhere near the originators of the [Stagger Lee](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staggerlee) story/song. Iā€™m partial to Mississippi Jon Hurtā€™s version, myself. Favorite username? Theyā€™ve all been nominated already. But I will say that I enjoy the mystery of cool gibberish-sounding names like Qadgop the Mercotan and Exapno Mapcase. (Like Slartyblartfast ā€“ what the hell does _that_ mean?) Now that I know there are stories behind them Iā€™m (only very slightly) less impressed. Iā€™m thinking of renaming myself soon, but I donā€™t even know how the process goes. Nothing witty has come up yet, but Iā€™m starting to think I donā€™t deserve my Ph.D in Cubology anymore.
