Oh, and how could I forget **Nightwatch Trailer** one of my favorites since I first started to post here. Can’t quite wrap my mind around how it makes me feel every time I see it…creative, for starters. Fun name. 🙂 ---

Twice I’ve spent all day with another user’s name in my head, and I don’t know why it was either of these names, but they were **BippyTheBeardless** and **Laughing Lagomorph**. They just had a nice ring to them I guess, and I kept saying it over and over in my head. ---

Exapno Mapcase - if you don’t make up a name yourself, this is about as great as it gets. SwimmingRiddles - cryptically poetic. My favorites are the pun names like Sue Duhnym (not influenced by the fact she once said I was her hero (under my old name, zgystardst)) and Candid Gamera. But **El Cid Viscoso** is just plain brilliant, and as Google shows, utterly unique on the web. Someone named runcible made one post in 2003. That’s pretty cool, too. “runcible spoon” would make a good user name. ---

**Siddhartha Vicious** , **Atomic Badger Racing** , **flamingbananas** , **Interrobang!?** , **Go You Big Red Fire Engine** , **Amazon Floozy Goddess** , **ZombiesAteMyBrain**. I’m pretty sure there are more, but those are the ones that first came to mind. ---

I wonder how many people who’ve posted to this thread remember that the name **Czarcasm** was the result of a board-wide poll. _Sound of jack-booted thugs coming up the stairs_ In fact, I remember his OLD name. _Door being kicked in_ You wanna know what it was? I’ll tell you! _Screams, muffled thuds_ His real name is s… NO CARRIER ---

> [@Smeghead](#): > > I wonder how many people who’ve posted to this thread remember that the name **Czarcasm** was the result of a board-wide poll. That just proves that this board is quite exceptional in taste. I was going to post Czarcasm, but now I’ll have to re-evaluate how cool it is. It could possibly be better now though. Hmmmm. Well, that was a good way to make my first post completely devoid of relevant information… ---

**Czarcasm** is terrific. **Pseudotriton Ruber Ruber** is just cool. The first part sounds all sci-fi, the rest has a nice rhythmic repetition to it. And it’s still cool when you find out what it means. **Doomtrain** sounds like what it means. I’m surprised that **1920’s Style Death Rays** hasn’t been nominated. Also, is there now a **Toast Museum**? **Atomic Badger Racing** rocks, so you’d think someone would try that. The only one I’d say I envy is **Marley**. It’s MY freaking name, and whoever that is posted only 72 times- all more than 2 years ago. Blarg. ---

> [@TwoTrouts](#): > > I love the image that **CandidGamera** brings to mind… a giant flying turtle with the head of Allen Funt. Just wanted to pop by and say thanks for this mention. 😃 I’m always happy to amuse in some fashion. As for usernames I envy, it’d be **FilmGeek** - a moniker which aptly describes me, and which I might well have taken given the chance. ---

I like **Art Vandelay, Architect** and **Kel Varnsen, Latex Division** because I enjoy Seinfeld references. And I always liked the name **PurpleCrackWhore** , too, elbows. **Mirror Image egamI rorriM** is another favorite. ---

Dude, you have like, the best name, EVER! When you introduce yourself to people, do you just call yourself Zev, or do you say “Zev Steinhardt”. 'Cause there’s no way I could only call myself Zev.

A David Lynch road romance murder movie could be made starring these two just because of their names: **Earl Snake-Hips Tucker** and **FireUnderpantsBoobs**. But probably my favorite was a troll who lasted about 2 seconds here: **Shut the Fuck Up Donny**. ---
