Another favorite of mine is **punoqllads**.  
[/QUOTE]

That’s the one I came in to post. It took me a long time before I realized that it was **spellbound** upside-down and backwards.

That one I missed, **punoqllads** just seemed like an odd name to me. Thanks for the heads up.

**iamthewalrus(:3=** is typographically great. I always wonder, though, if anyone reads the SDMB through a text-to-speech doohickey and wonders who the heck this “parenthesis colon three equals” guy is.

I’ve never read **Mangetout** as anything other than Mange-tout, as in Monsieur Mangetout, that French guy that ate a Cessna IIRC (I don’t tend to think of the vegetable). But I gather some people always read his name as “man get out”, which is just silly. 😛

**umop ap!sdn** is clever, and I have to admit to stealing it for use elsewhere…

If David Lynch wrote and directed an episode of Seinfeld, I think I’d have to watch that.
