BTW if you’re reading this, **Qadgop** , can you tell us what it means? For my part it stirs vague memories of old science fiction movies and freshman chemistry. \*\* Thanks! It’s the title character from Sybly Whyte’s classic novel! Here’s a quote! Qadgop the Mercotan slithered flatly around the after-bulge of the tranship. One claw dug into the meters-thick armor of pure neutronium, then another. Its terrible xmex-like snout locked on. Its zymolosely polydactyl tongue crunched out, crashed down, rasped across. Slurp! Slurp! At each abrasive stroke the groove in the tranship’s plating deepened and Qadgop leered more fiercely. Fools! Did they think that the airlessness of absolute space, the heatlessness of absolute zero, the yieldlessness of absolute neutronium could stop QADGOP THE MERCOTAN? And the stowaway, that human wench Cynthia, cowering in helpless terror just beyond this thin and fragile wall… ---

I literally read that section of that book last night, **Qadgop**. Laughed out loud. And, **javaman** , it’s from E.E. “Doc” Smith’s Lensman series, in which our hero, Kim Kinnison, poses as an intrepid sci-fi writer, Sylby Whyte - actually a well-established cover identity used by the Galactic Patrol - so as to be able to infiltrate all aspects of a particular planet’s society. In order to maintain his cover, he actually writes a book, which, since it was written by our Grey Lensman hero, is, of course, widely hailed as Whyte’s best. ---

Look folks, the OP isn’t “Who’s got the most CLEVER screen name,” it’s the “COOLEST.” That pretty much leaves **Coldfire** and **me** , and **Coldy** is out of town. Give me my crown. Now. ---

thinksnow is what ski areas say when it’s suppose to be below freezing but is really in te low to mid 60’s (at least in the east. Coldfire - well the coldest flame is 100’s of degres higher that that. so we come around to K2 - the mountain has snow year round - and in general is very very cold and windy lets just say 0 F. I (Dave) OTOH am in my office and 70 F so if we average the 2 we get 35F which takes the crown. ---

You know, MY first choice was **The Countess Cathleen,** which is a drama alluded to by William Butler Yeats in his late poem “The Circus Animals’ Desertion.” But then I figured that, y’know, folks’d think I was a chick and stuff. ---

I like… **threebunnymama** because it reminds me of something my own mommy would call herself **wishbone** , if only because I want to sing, “what’s the story, Wishbone?” like the TV theme (also, I have a Wishbone stuffed animal) **Don’t Poke the Bear, Dad! zgystardst Poopah Chalupah Tequila Mockingbird** ---

Well, aside from _my_ super-cool username, I’d have to vote for **imthecowgodmoo**. And whoever finally grows the balls to claim the username **Chicken of Bristol** will also get my vote. There’s a great username, just going to waste. ---

That was a damn cool thread, and whoever created it should be given praise and adulations. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whos-got-the-coolest-screen-name/71795.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whos-got-the-coolest-screen-name/71795.md?page=3)
