\*\*imthecowgodmoo ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies The Chao Goes Mu\*\* Once **Exapno Mapcase** was explained to me, I loved it. [sub](It’s an approximation of what “Harpo Marx” looks like, written in the Cyrillic alphabet.)[/sub] **Snooooooopy** , because I am old enough to remember the _Peanuts_ movie “Come Home, Snoopy, Come Home”. ---

Too many to name. **Typo Knig** is one of my favorites. I was also amused to see **Earthworm Jim** posting. I’m glad I’m not the only one that loves obscure-yet-awesome video games. ---

I do like names like **EleanorRigby** that remind me of songs or something good. There should be a Jude out there. ---

I guess so… Anyway I like **Earthworm Jim** ’s name too. **Freudian Slit** is great too. ---

My favorite username is **brujaja.** I don’t know if it’s intentional, but ‘‘bruja’’ in Spanish means ‘‘witch’’, and ‘‘jaja’’ is the sound of laughter, so I always think of a cackling witch and it makes me smile. My other favorite is **BellRungCandleSnuffed–BookShut** because it’s very nostalgic and kind of makes me think of Poe poetry or something along those lines. Oh, and definitely **Czarcasm**. Clever. ---

I quite like **Giraffe** just because it’s so simple and conjures up a great image of a giraffe using a PC. I also like: **Unauthorised Cinnamon** (how does one authorise cinnamon anyway?) **The Chao Says Mu** (both because it’s cool and because it comes from the same mythical universe as my name) **Elendil’s Heir** ---

My favorite has always been **Go You Big Red Fire Engine** and **Really Not All That Bright**. I may not be remembering those exactly, but it’s close enough for government work… ---

My particular faves: \*\*The Chao Goes Mu Noone Special Left Hand of Dorkness\*\* And **Moment Slayer** because it is absolutely true. 😃 I know there are others, but I can’t recall them! ---

Whatever happened to **Tig Ol Bitties**? That was my favorite. ---

> [@AT\_Love](#): > > I really like **Enola Straight** I must confess I’ve never understood this one. I’ll probably feel stupid when it’s explained to me. And how is **Der Trihs** a Trek reference? Is it TOS, because I never could watch that series. I’ll also confess that I also like **Giraffe**. I thought I was the only one to find such a straightforward name funny. Oh, and while I don’t think she’s (he?) been around for awhile, I used to chuckle when I saw **Eats\_Crayons**. ---

> [@BellRungBookShut-CandleSnuffed](#): > > And how is **Der Trihs** a Trek reference? Is it TOS, because I never could watch that series. Der Trihs is Red Shirt spelled backward and it is a TOS allusion as most weeks one or more crew members would die in the show and nearly all wore the Red Shirts and were never seen before. However, \*\*Der Trihs \*\* has said he got his name from a [Web Comic Schlock Mercenary](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlock_Mercenary_characters). That Web Comic however did get the name from TOS. ---
