It means I’m a real raw unboned dead frog, and I guess I should say so in my sig line if I want to avoid prosecution.
For those who don’t get the reference above (and therefore, probably don’t get the username either) it’s from a Monty Python sketch in which the police show up to a man who’s making chocolates. One of the confections is named “Crunchy Frog”. The policeman learns that the chocolate contains a real raw frog and when asking why they don’t even take the bones out, the reply is, “If we took the bones out it wouldn’t be crunchy, now would it?”
Mines just a giant planet I came up with in grade 4. I went as far as placing capital cities and desinging modes of transportation before I moved on. When I signed up it was the only thing I could think of that was uniquely mine. However, its caused some problems since people usually assume I am either **A.**A girl **B.**Very sad or **C.**A self aware piece of string.
And I’m not kidding.
I used to be jr8, which was itself derived from my initials and a meaningless added character. My current incarnation comes from efforts by some creative Dopers to pronounce my previous name.
Mine is a Greek god, companion to Dionysis(Bacchus), and depicted as a fat, drunken old man, who is full of great wisdom, along with all that wine. Since my SO’s name is Denise (dennis, dionysis) and the description fits (except for the wisdom part)…
Mine is Croatian for cat (female I think). We had an orange tabby (male) named Matchka who died a coupla days before I signed on. I WAS gonna sign on as “Rabid Child” but it seems some other body beat me to it by a few years.
Long answer: I had the nickname Gabriel for a while because of a poem I wrote that had a main character named Gabriel. He was not me, but everyone thought he was, even though I am a girl. You make the connection.
I have a burning ambition to someday be the weird old lady down the street with all the cats, the one all the neighborhood kids are scared of. Dolly the Vicious Attack Hound and Claudia the Vunderhund don’t approve of this plan, but nobody asked for their opinions.
Sq+uare + cube = Sqube. It struck me one day in 6th grade, and I’ve been using it for pretty much everything ever since. I have yet to see anyone take it or anything like it.
I was really into the group Savage Garden, and they released ana lbum called the ‘Future of Earthly Delites’ I used to use that name in chat a lot, eventually over a couple years it got shortened to Delly and so thats what Im stuck with now and use it on pretty much every site I join unless its already taken!
Well, I’ll give in. Picture if you will, a nice sunny day. Everything’s going great, nothing could be better. Well, I stumbled upon the SD on such a day, and at the time, S & S sounded like a nice, uplifting screen name. Now, I feel like everytime I post I should say: no, I’m not a girl, and again no, I’m not gay.
Well, the truth is here! I’m a straight male! I’ve even got a girlfriend! And everything is sunshine and smiles!
I feel my nickname is a little self-explanatory. I just have a “k” instead of a “c” at the end because someone already had Neurotic on AOL. Of course, someone already had Neurotik, too, so for my AOL handle I tacked on two initials that come from a former SO’s nickname for me. But we had broken up when I registered for the SDMB and I didn’t feel like keeping them on my handle when I didn’t have to.
Arcangues was a French racehorse who won the 1993 Breeder’s Cup Classic at odds of 133-1. I was quite smitten with him after reading about that. I’m not sure where the 181 came from…
Governor Quinn was the last appointed Governor of the Territory of Hawaii, as well as the first elected GOvernor of the State of Hawaii. The name came from my first message board, which dealt with Hawaiian politics.
An ex used to call me Sunshine all the time. Until he discovered my, um, appetite. And my wicked and slightly cutting sense of humour. I am pretty certain he wasn’t being entirely kind when adapting my name, but I liked it.
