I’m clever. I’m very clever.
How’s that working out for you?
I have red hair, and have been referred to as “Ginger” for many years. However, Ginger was taken. I was living in the Northwest Territories in Canada at the time of registration, so there you have it.
I prefer to remain eponymous.
I called information last night and asked them where my clean socks were. They said, behind the couch. They were right.

My user name comes from “Love for Three Oranges” by Sergei Prokofiev. From this, you might infer that I am a big fan of Prokofiev and/or classical music. That wouldn’t be entirely accurate; the real story is that the day I became a Doper, one of my co-workers was listening to this piece (with which I had previously been unfamiliar) at his desk, and the title was stuck in my mind all that day. I apologize for not having a better story.
A euphemism used by W.C. Fields to express shock, outrage, or drunken indignation.
Pretty straightforward; I’m a photographer named Pat.
It’s not very good for anagrams, I’m afraid. Hatpoop, or poophat. That about sums it up.
My real name is Imran and it simply doesn’t translate well in text (everyone wants to pronounce it “I’m Ran” or “Enron”). It’s pronounced Im (like, uhh, impediment) Ran (like, the Kurosawa movie…or the name ‘Ron’).
My grandmother gave me a “secondary name” (not a middle name or anything like that). It was Shaun. Eventually, I americanized it and made it Shawn. My last name starts with a K, so I made a pen name out of it. Viola!
– Shawn K.
A friend sent me one of those satellite pictures of the earth. On it he wrote “wish you were here.”
It’s a small world, but I wouldn’t want to paint it.
I came across a friend of mine and I asked why he hadn’t called me for a while. He said his phone is missing the number 7. I asked him how long it had been like that; he said “I don’t know, my calendar is missing the number 3.”
(As long as we’re throwing in Steven Wright jokes, ccwaterback.)
As for me, no big mystery: first name is Richard, last name starts with the letter B. Just wanted to use the same username I use elsewhere.
I can’t resist. Here are my favorites…
“I bought a dog the other day…I named him Stay. It’s fun to call him…“Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!” He went insane.”
“After they make styrofoam, what do they ship it in?”
“I bought some powdered water, but I don’t know what to add to it.”
“I had a friend who was a clown. When he died, all his friends went to the funeral in one car.”
It’s not often this happens, but I actually feel the urge to link to one of my old threads here …
Wait. You mean Steve Wright is your real name?!?!?!?
Sorry. I just thought you were an admirer of the comedian.
(Jeez. “Admirer” sure looks wrong. Not enough syllables. But that’s what my dictionary says.)
my first names Paul.
the berserker bit comes from when i was teaching a couple of years ago, and me and Warren, a mate of mine who also used to teach there used to go ‘berserker boozing’. its also to do with the song off of Clerks.
it was also my e-mail address at the time i joined the sdmb. i tend to use attackships elsewhere on the web now, but it also tends to match my ‘fly off the handle at stupid things’ personality.
cheers!
Mine is just my first name spelled backwards; I have a reddish beard, so I capitalized “Red” separately.
(I’ve had at least one person on the Boards think that I’m female, probably because of the “la” ending.)
