Also, the “Bo Diddly” (no “E”… yeah, I know that the musician’s name was spelled differently) was added long after I took the name “SPOOFE” (in real life… about half my friends still call me that). It really meant nothing aside from space filler when I was asked for a first, middle, and last name all at the same time.

And I still think mine’s the coolest screen name… Thinksnow (who’s name I always translate as “thinks now”) can bite my big blubbery bunghole.

**Chicken of Bristol**? Huh?

“Chicken of Bristol” is a Monty Python reference. “Brave” Sir Robin had some contact with said chicken.

**Czarcasm** , back when he was still known as **slythe** , considered using “Chicken of Bristol” as a screen name, but it was rejected in favor of the more Russian-punny-sounding title he currently wears.

**imthecowgodmoo** has changed his (very kick ass) name and reappeared as someone else, no? Or did he just abandon us way back when? For some reason I can’t (or choose not to) remember, I always associate him with **Sofa King** , which is another pretty cool screen name.

**imthecowgodmoo** changed his name? Say it ain’t so! That was one of my all-time faves when I started reading the board - second only to the ever confusing **Sue Duhnym**.

Althought **Don’t Poke the Bear, Dad!** might make it’s way in there too - I fall into helpless giggles everytime I hear it. Hehehe… small things amuse small minds, eh?

**Smeghead** , now my cover is blown! Oh well. I just always liked the idea of having a zymolosely polydactyl tongue, as does Mrs. Mercotan.

**FireUnderpantsBoobs** outed me in her sig. I just love those three word.

{b]CrankyAsAnOldMan\*\* always makes me laugh. I get the strongest image of a wizened, bent little bald guy sitting on his porch rocking chair. “Hey you Kids! Get off my lawn!!”

**Smeghead**. I love a Red Dwarf reference.

Hey! I got two votes and I hardly ever say anything. Wow.

Thanks a bunch **Miss Creant** and **tlmtlm59**.

Aside from you guys, I really think **Sue Dunhym** , **TubaDiva** and **Hail Ants** are cool names.

When I’m down, all I have to do is remember that there’s a poster who calls herself “ **FireUnderpantsBoobs** ”. I can still make myself laugh uncontrollably just by repeating the name over and over again. I tried to explain it to a friend recently, but she just didn’t understand. Anyway, **FireUnderpantsBoobs** , you have the best name of anyone I’ve ever encountered in my entire life. You should run for President.

I think **sk8rixtx** is a really cool username. He’s really hot too.
