Oddly,I just asked him this same question in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=5604), although he hasn’t answered yet. I wonder what he’s hiding. How about some answers, Mr. “thinksnow?” If that is your real name! Wait a minute… ---

It wasn’t until I read that she worked in a store that sells racing merchandise that I finally got it. ---

I’ve always read “sealemon” as a bastardization of Soolaimon (sp?), the Niel Diamond song. In fact, I always starts singing it after seing Sealemon’s post. I’ll think of more… dantheman, if it helps, this Dan guy was incredibly sweet. I don’t think the hot tub thing was much like him, either. ---

Not to name any names specifically, but anytime I see someone who has “68” as part of their name, I remember George Carlin’s line from his “incomplete list of impolite words”: > [@](#): > > …there’s also 71, which is 69 with two fingers up your ass, and 68, which is “you do me and I’ll owe you one” … women hear that one _all the time_ 😃 ---

**Dooku** ’s name makes me think of my ex-BF-- my ex’s nickname is similar. ---

**AudreyK** ’s name always reminds me of a certain movie… However, if I name it, she’ll kill me. So I’ll have to think about naming it or not. 😃 ---

Then I started reading it as “ray-SEEN-chikki,” as if she was from a certain city in Wisconsin. It wasn’t until I read that she worked in a store that sells racing merchandise that I finally got it. You know what’s _really_ bad? I get my own name screwy! When people call me “racin” in chat, I think Racine - pronounced rah-SEEN - which was my name in French class five years ago, and has nothing to do with my username at all! How’s that for sad? **AudreyK** makes me think of Audrey Hepburn. Then “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” which I’ve never seen, but I think Hepburn’s in it. Which then makes me think of the Deep Blue Something song named after the movie. **KneadToKnow** makes me think of an old episode of Gumby I used to love as a child, where Gumby and Pokey go into the oven and find this factory place where a little dough-man makes all the baked goods, and they end up being baked into a jelly roll and a pie, respectively, but before they get baked into a pie they see these big machines that knead the dough, and the dough-man says “This machine kneads the dough!” And Pokey is all confused and says “Wait a minute, the dough needs the dough?” And Gumby laughs and says “No, the machine KNEADS the dough!” And as a child I was amused. And now I’m just bemused. **Lsura** inexplicably reminds me of the Hyundai Elantra. Go figure. ---

Aww, don’t worry, **TroubleAgain**! I’ll let our dear friend **rob** live. [sub]For now.[/sub] 😃 Hey, **racinchikki** , thanks for posting that. See, I have the mp3 for the “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” song, but for the longest time I couldn’t remember who it was performed by. I found the song under “Matchbox Twenty”, which I knew wasn’t right. Mystery’s now solved. Thank you. 🙂 ---

Oh, don’t worry, **TroubleAgain** , I was just referring to… _ **rob** notices the “for now”_ :eek: Umm…_thinks fast_ “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” yes, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Audrey Hepburn and all, that’s the movie I think of, all right. _whew_ For a second there I almost said "Li…_kidding_! I wouldn’t say it. Plus, I don’t think that when I see **AudreyK** ’s name. I think of what a wonderful person she is. 🙂 Hmm…I wonder how much pain she’ll inflict on me for uttering the first two letters… ---
