Didn’t DFTH first suggest 'Fraudian Slit?

Yup, that’s the thread where I decided to change my name from Zoggie to this.
Thanks again, DFTH!
My pleasure. Every time I see your username it brings a smile to my face. You wear it well.
I’m a fan of Exapno Mapcase too, but the username that finally made me fork out the dough for a membership was Ponder Stibbons.
Throatwarbler Mangrove
And it’s the answer to so many questions!
Also always kinda liked rowrrbazzle. It’s a great onomatopoeia. The rowrr always makes me think of some dude in a bar seeing a hot girl and saying “rowrr,” and then the bazzle is like a razzle-dazzle magic show. Or like Prof Farnsworth saying he should have rechecked Bubblegum’s razzle-dazzle algebra.
Lots of funny images coming together at once with a great sound.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a single favorite, but there are always a few that lighten my day.
Cookies, thirded or fourthed or whatever.
Hippos definitely, especially since at one time I used to draw cartoons for fun, and one of mine had a suburban housewife complaining because there were pygmy rhinoceroses in her petunias.
Really Not All That Bright - Wonderful combination of self-effacement implying true confidence. Well done.
1920’s Style Death Ray, for those of you younger tadpoles, it had a running joke for a long time to mention this idea. The joke had about worn itself out, when somebody took the phrase for his username. I think he used to be something else before that.
Go, You Big Red Fire Engine

Cunctator - It wasn’t until years after first encountering this name that I learned that what the word means and how appropriate it is to this person’s occupation as an actuary.
IIRC the last three are Australian–you guys seem to have a knack.
I’m not a big fan of fabricated names of any kind: cute names, pun names, nick names, ironic names…whatever. I like it when people simply use their real surname as their username—perhaps coupled with their real first name, title, degree, or what have you. So, come on people, join the likes of Richard Parker, Ivan Astikov, Peter Morris, SSG Schwartz, Agent Foxtrot, Skald the Rhymer, Mr. Excellent, Mr. Pbbth and myself…be proud, use your real names!

I’m sure there’s plenty more that I can’t think of right now.
Mathochist conjures the image of a balding and bespectacled 40-something professor engaging in vigorous autoflagellation with a slide rule.
**The New & Improved Superman **and **Mirror Image egamI rorriM ** both have names I covet.
**Spectre of Pithecanthropus **
What a fantastic name! I’ve never seen you before otherwise I would have said so before
Ooh, I forgot–I love yours, too, as a fellow Stephen King fan. (Though to my shame, I haven’t actually read the book that your name comes from.)
Not sure if it’s my absolute favourite Doper name, but right now I really like Vox Imperatoris. It’s so authoritarian-sounding!
Quiddity Glomfuster was a name that I liked the first time I saw it.
pssst…I’m not a Mr. Thanks for the shout-out though!
Oh, you totally should! It’s all told in the form of first person, with no one else talking but Dolores. She’s telling the cop her story.
It’s very well done.
