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.
Great. Now I have a big ol’ circlethought: AudreyK - Audrey Hepburn - “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” - Deep Blue Something - deepbluesea - Sealemon - lemon - lemon pepper chicken - PepperlandGirl …
I, for two, don’t want to know either… it’s more a variant of Fairy Godmother, which brings to my mind the start of Fractured Fairy Tales - regardless, the name was a gift from a chat friend a couple of years back. And for the record, I don’t wear sequins…
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…”
It is, in fact, not exactly dissimilar from what may or may not be my real name. You can call me “thinks” or “snowie” and I’ll know who you’re talking to, but, FTR, the actual name is “think snow.”
Wow! I hope you didn’t hurt yourself on that one, dude.
Still, I’m doubly flattered to have been mentioned twice now. This is the coolest thing since I got paired up with Needs2Know in that Posters that seem to belong together thread. Imagine my surprise! Imagine hers, poor thing!
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.
Quite all right. For many years, I was a blond-haired, blue-eyed kid in a baseball uniform. Especially the 12th year.
“how do you like your blueeyed boy now, mr. death?” - e. e. cummings, possibly misquoted
Of course, I see Bumbazine and I think of “Flight of the Bumblebee” - but that’s because I have no creativity whatsoever. Maybe you could use it as your entrance music, like pro wrestlers or baseball players do. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
You’re the second person to tell me my name reminds them of a bumblebee. Not exactly the image I had in mind.
(It’s actually a Walt Kelly reference.) Maybe for entrance music I could have Ride of the Valkyries instead? Remember Apocalypse Now?
