> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dantheman \* > **You know, until recently, I thought Sealemon88’s name was “Seale Mon”; you know, something Jamaican!** Same here. I thought he was a Jamaican fan of the Black Panthers. **Smeghead** , I immediately assumed was a _Red Dwarf_ fan. **matt\_mcl** , I apologize for this, but your name always makes me think of McDonald’s. **TVeblen** , I keep reading as TV’s Eblen. Like TV’s Frank from MST3K. –sublight. ---

Whenever I see **hardygrrl’s** name, my brain sets it to the tune of Frank Zappa’s Valley Girl. I wish it wouldn’t do that. **Smeghead** , your name just makes me think of Red Dwarf. Usually I associate it in my mind with the phrase ‘what a bunch of twonks.’ I always have to look twice at **Canthearya** ; on first glance, it looks like the species name of some orchid or other. And I _still_ read **racinchikki** as rainchikki. Even after seeing her explanation for her name in a different thread. Oh, and **FairyChatMom** produces a very, very strange mental image in my head: a bear (as in, the type of guy, not the actual animal) in one of those sequin-laden drag queen outfits, giving radio-show phone advice a la Laura Schlessinger. God only knows why I think of this; I, for one, do not _want_ to know. ---

**Coldfire** : Makes me think of an evil, decadent, nasty, soulless bastard. Every time I see the name I get this evil laugh in my head: “Mwwwwwuahahahahahahaahaaaaaaaa…” **UncleBeer** : Makes me thirsty. Can’t explain this one. **Gaudere** : Makes me think of “austere”; so, um, that’s kinda good, right? **JillGat** : “With a JillGat paddywhack, give the dog a bone…” **Manhattan** : Midtown traffic. **TubaDiva** : Wasn’t it Bette Midler who did a performance in Sin City called “Diva Las Vegas”? That’s what I think of, only I hear it to the tune of “Leaving Las Vegas” by Sheryl Crow. “I’m Diva Las Vegas…blackjack on a Saturday night…” **Chronos** : When I see HIS name, I get this intonation in my head: “For I am **Chronos** , and to know me is to know Life. I am both omnipotent and omniscient. For I am **Chronos** …” ---

> [@](#): > > Sealemon88 makes me think of his website, especially the dancing portion. (That’s his website, right? “Ze’s Page”? Please tell me that’s his site, or else I feel like a dummy.) Aww, man. I WISH I was that guy! His flash animations rock, and I can’t dance HALF as well as he can! (Go [here](http://www.zefrank.com/indexdance.html) to meet The Lord Of The Jiggy Dance.) Actually, **dantheman** has the idea I was shooting for. Speaking of: **dantheman** : Ijust picture some guy with his thumbs up going "I’m the man! in a Duffman voice. Oh, yeah! **Kellibelli** makes me picture some sort of kids book, like Winnie The Pooh. Same with **SqrlCub**. I picture **Diane** as a Valkyrie. I think of **racinchikki** as Rikki Tikki Tavi (sp). And for some reason, that’s all I can think of for right now. ---

> [@](#): > > **Crunchy** > And since Jeannie is the poster I saw right before I posted, her name reminds me of a girl I had a crush on in high school, and I picture her as a blonde with a ponytail and cute little freckles on her nose. I have no idea what the poster Jeannie really looks like though. That is so odd: a wonderfully terrific friend of mine named Jeannie is a cute little (5’0") blonde (sometimes in ponytails) with freckles! 'Course, I’ve always called her _Jeannie-Bean_, so I never really thought of Doper- **Jeannie** that way before. **dantheman** reminds me of Dan Rydel from the now defunct show, _Sports Night_. **Sealemon** , even though I know how to say it, will always be read as “Seal, mon” with a thick Jamaican dialect. **esprix** , stereotype and all, reads to me as “eths-prix,” sorry, but I used to read the store sign that way. **dpr** reads as “Doper,” though he personally told me it was otherwise…ah, well. **UncleBeer** reminds me of a buddy of mine from college, he got _Miller_ to sponsor Ski Club. Thanks again, Chuck. **MikeG** used to remind me of BeastyBoys, but since I’ve met him…not so much any more. Now I think of knives. **UncleBill** and **WeirdDave** make me think of shooting and helping women change tires 😃 **Scylla** makes me think of groundhogs and drowning assholes in pools…all good things. Oh, and **Crunchy Frog** , of course, brings to mind MP. Strangely, seeing **Coldfire** makes me think of the MP bit about _Corporate Raiders_, but I think that’s recent since his “Weird Shit” thread. There’s probably more, but it’s lunch time.

Okay, **Dantheman,** I gotta tell you this, My 12 year old grandson is consistantly referred to by his parents as “Dan the man”, and has been for several years, so when I first saw your name, and even now, I see a 12 year old blonde-haired, blue-eyed kid in a baseball uniform. Sorry. Before I read **Sealemon88** ’s explanation for his handle, I read it as ‘sea lemon’, which made me think of sea cucumbers. I’ve always seen **Gaudere** ’s name as gaud-er-y, and see in my mind’s eye, a lady bedecked with lots of costume jewelry, in a big flowery hat. I’ve had the same problem with **racinchikki** ’s name as everybody else. I read it as ‘rain chikki’, but I don’t get a visual for some reason. There are plenty more, but they’re refusing to come to the surface just now. ---

Not exactly the image I had in mind. ☹ (It’s actually a [Walt Kelly](http://www.reuben.org/fiftyplus/kelly.html) reference.) Maybe for entrance music I could have _Ride of the Valkyries_ instead?
