What do Dopers' names make you think of?

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.

That’s great. It’s insane, kind of like my personality. :smiley:

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

Everytime I see hardygrrl’s name, in my minds eye, I see Lita, the other Hardy girl.

Well…we are both redheads with a fetish for a Hardy boy…:slight_smile:

Every time I see the name Unclebeer, I think of his name as Unclepee.

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…

Oh yeah, I just remembered what I had wanted to add earlier…

jarbabyj, you may not like this, but your name always makes me think of JarJar Binks.

Meesa gonna git a cockwrench?

–sublight.

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.”

Actually, I thought it was a plea for all students of Kansas State University to get thin!

thin ks now!

thin ks now!

Sing it with me…


I thought it was Kent State and that was what the National Guard was chanting…

I’m going straight to hell, aren’t I?

Yes! But that was darn funny, much better than mine.

Your name reminds me of that Tom Petty song… “Need to Know”…

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 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.

Wow! I hope you didn’t hurt yourself on that one, dude. :stuck_out_tongue:

Still, I’m doubly flattered to have been mentioned twice now. :slight_smile: 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 :smiley:
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. :frowning:
(It’s actually a Walt Kelly reference.) Maybe for entrance music I could have Ride of the Valkyries instead? Remember Apocalypse Now?
