Lsura, when I saw this thread, I immediately thought of **FireUnderpantsBoobs**! I wish I was that creative!

And for some reason, I love **Blackeyes** 🙂

What is **FireUnderpantsBoobs** known as now? I’ve not seen that username in a while.

I like seeing Scotticher’s name, for whatever reason it makes me think of a particularily yummy caramel or toffee candy. It suits her quite nicely so I won’t covet.  
Czarcasm’s is nifty and Fenris simply because that is one bad wolf. No way could I pull off either name, so BadBaby it is. What ticks me is finding out it’s also the name of a comic strip or something. Shoulda put more thought into it, but who knew?

I would trade Osip for Mandelstam. Since we both took the name for the same poet. I the first name She the last.

Strange thing is, we don’t even know each other.

How weird to have two americans liking the same poet? expecially Osip mandelstam?

I like mine, but I would trade instantly with:

**That Guy With Pants.**

(and I’m not a guy.)

I just discovered the Doper named **you with the face** , and am now wishing I’d thought of the name first.

**Czarcasm** and **That Guy With Pants** will always be my favortites. But since we’re talking people we’d like to swap names with, I’ll go with Czarcasm on this one. Maybe I’ll change my name to Tsarcasm.

I think I tried for \*\* Lolly \*\* and \*\* Toaster \*\* but both were taken. I like Grasshopper though.

A certain other board I am on used to change server/providers about every 3-6 months and do a piss poor job of transfering over the existing user names/accounts. Just about every time they would do this, someone would steal my user name (the same one as here). I’d have to e-mail the board owner to get it back.

“No, I didn’t post _that_. It was posted by that other twip who tried to steal my screen name…”

If I changed my user name, I’d want to be **Jello**.

I like czarcasm, Rue DeDay, Shirley UJest, is it any wonder people groan at my jokes?

Vorpal Sword the Knighted, Chronos, and Giraffe all appeal, also.

For whatever reason, I’m a big fan of the **RTFirefly** screen name. Usually like Firefly’s posts, too.
