I like **Zebrashasha**. She’s one of our youngest users – 16, I think. So maybe the name is a pop culture reference that I don’t understand. But without anything to connect it to other than a 16 year old girl, it just makes me laugh and think of someone who has panache. ---

But without anything to connect it to other than a 16 year old girl, it just makes me laugh and think of someone who has panache. Someone read something I posted? Granted, I am a dude, but we are all unisex in this box. Oh, and no pop culture here - I am as far away from pop culture as baking soda and vinegar is from Pompeii. As for the OP, I always liked **calm kiwi**. Ironically, it flies off the tounge. ---

**ZebraShaSha** , **Hot Buttered Toast** , **Limbo Donni** , **Go You Big Red Fire Engine** , **Amazon Floozy Goddess** , and **ZombiesAteMyBrain**. There are many more, but those are the first that come to mind. ---

Ohh, there are too many! Everyone mentioned above, and also **Rufus Xavier** , **Really Not All That Bright** , **Spectre of Pithecanthropus** , and a bazillion others. 😃 ---

> [@Craneop2](#): > > One I haven’t seen in a while, and I am not sure of the spelling. **Sue Duhnym** was always kinda perfect to my way of thinking. _::smooch::_ For some reason **Earl Snake-hips Tucker** (or however he spells it) makes me laugh. I think it’s because every time I read it, I visualize a redneck dancing like Axl Rose. And as always, **imthecowgodmoo** is the gold standard. ---

I’ll go with the classics… **Athena** , **Dante** , and the other literary or mythical names. **CK Dexter Haven** ’s another good one, although I don’t know the significance. **Polycarp** is good just because. ---

I like **CrankyAsAnOldMan**. If I ever join another board, I am stealing it. 🙂 [sub]It doesn’t hurt that I like the poster, too.[/sub] ---

**Brave New Squirrel** - Another “why didn’t I think of that?” **Uncle Beer** - I wouldn’t use it but it just makes me laugh for some reason. I guess I just can’t imagine how someone would earn that nickname. Another vote for **Go You Big Red Fire Engine** because it’s just silly. Also, the infamous **Atomic Badger Racing**. It’s brilliant! ---

I like **Bruce\_Daddy**. As I said in an earlier thread I am too lazy to dig up, it reminds me of a guy driving his low rider around, arm around a ho with a 40 dangling from his hand. I can just imagine Barry White saying his name like: “Bruce…_daddy_.” ---
