I like **World Eater** , because it reminds me of an in-joke I have with a friend. We were joking about starting a band together, and our first big hit was going to be called “I Don’t Want to Eat Your World.” (Sorry dear, it’s not just the arms 😉 ). \*\*iampunha \*\* tickles me, **Satisfying Andy Licious** was great once I finally got it, and **pseudotriton ruber ruber** makes me think of Fraggles for some reason, maybe because one of them was Boober? Anyway I like those, too. 😃 ---

> [@Dante](#): > > … **FireUnderpantsBoobs** … You know, I changed my name so I wouldn’t get mentioned in these types of threads but it still comes up. Heh. **Qadgop** mentioned one of my all-time favorites: **Don’t poke the bear, Dad!** Another vote for **iamthewalrus:3=**. And I gotta mention **saramamalana** because the first several times I saw it, I said _sarmamarmalarmamarmalarmamarma_\* in my head. It just went on and on.

I love go you big red fire engine, too 🙂 It’s extremely Aussie, and I love it! Other than that, danceswithcats, calm kiwi (Not sure why you hate that - it’s a good name, CK!), Kythereia (which has a great sound to it, though it’s a bitch to spell), Atomic Badger Racing, Czarcasm, crazycatlady…there’s heaps of great names and I can’t even think of half of the ones I’ve seen and gone ‘hey, love that’. Mind you, next time I take a user name, I reckon I’m gonna be all over > [@](#): > > busta chee chee of eclair . That just totally cracks me up! 😉 ---

> [@Nightwatch Trailer](#): > > I’ve always wondered if **ccwaterback** is a Creedance Clearwater Revival reference. Well thanks for the votes. :😊: **ccwaterback** is a drink, of course, a double shot of CC whiskey, up, with a glass of water on the side. I too thought there was something lyrical about the name, and I’m also not sure why. Merle Haggard and George Jones teamed up for a song called C.C. Waterback. [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000025S0/104-6244141-0540705?v=glance](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000025S0/104-6244141-0540705?v=glance) I had been listening to old Merle right about the time I created my SDMB user name. There’s many names I find amusing here. **danceswithcats** would probably be my number one pick. ---

I always loved **Exapno Mapcase** , though I have to admit I preferred it before I found out the story behind it. I still like it, but it was more fun when I thought it was just random. ---

Like others, I’m fond of **ccwaterback**. I’m also a fan of the name **kung fu lola**. While I’m on Lolas, can’t ignore the name **LolaCocaCola**. How can one not appreciate the regal title of **Czarcasm**. Other favorites: **vivalostwages** , **flamingbananas** , **mangetout** , and of course **TubaDiva**.
