Oh, and I really like **Really Not All That Bright** (not personally, I suppose – I’ve never met him, though I’ve been past his place of work often. Driving past it Thursday, in fact), **Sue Dunhym** , **Mighty\_Girl** , **Czarcasm** , **CandidGamera** , **you with the face** , **Limbo Donni** , and **Pretend My Name Is Witty**. ---

**ZebraShaSha** is funny to me because I used to eat at this restaurant that served “Sha Sha Chicken” so I imagine that dish with Zebra meat. I don’t know if that was his intention. The discussion of **zev\_steinhardt** was cracking me up. I also grew up in a world where a name like Schlomo Fishkind would have inspired giggles. But now that I know better, I see that there’s nothing funny at all about a name like Schlomo Fishkind. ---

I automatically like the pun names: **Czarcasm, Shirley Ujest, t-keela, Sue Dunhym, Siddhartha Vicious, Hugh Jass,** and so on. A lot more than I can list and remember Of the non-puns, here’s another vote for **Atomic Badger Racing**. There is another board I hang out on that has a lurker name I love: K. O. Pectate ---

I always assumed **Polycarp** was a botanical reference… meaning a specimen that can, er, produce seed more than once a year 😉 And can someone please post the story behind **My Darn Snake Legs**? Also I have to vote against **Filthy Beast of Meat and Hair**. It makes me feel ill every time I see it. ☹ ---

Let us not forget our very own **FairyChatMom**. Can’t you just see the tutu, the fairy wings and the little magic wand now as she flits down beside you for tea and a chat. 😃 **Bambi Hassenpfeffer** because it’s deer and rabbit in one dish! MMMMMMM! **chaoticdonkey** makes me laugh because I picture this crazed donkey running around in circles. **Bear\_Napples** AKA **Bear\_Nipples** AKA **Bear\_Neeno** And: **Bosda Who Skies In His Drawers** 😛 **TellMeI’mNot Crazy** and **CrankyAsAnOldMan** are two names that crack me up. ---

I like **Left Hand of Dorkness** , even if I did get it horribly wrong once. (In my defense, he’d just changed his name, and it made me confused. I’m very easily confused.) I’m also fond of **dorkusmalorkusmafia**. What can I say, I like my dorks. ---

> [@flamingbananas](#): > > Only a keychain? I had pikachu sunglasses! Of course I still have them, but I don’t really wear them or anything… _shifts eyes_ It’s all I have left after I made the big move… I donated my immense plushie collection to the church… I even had a mew and talking pikachu… I had at least a dozen keychains… trading cards, collector tins, all the related gameboy games ever made, and N64 games… I was 24 before the madness stopped. My father (age 50) made fun of me, and I said to him “I _dare_ you. I dare you to try playing it for ten minutes. If you’re not addicted after that, then you can make fun of me for the rest of my life.” He calls me up now to give _me_ tips on strategy. And wonders why I ever use my trusty jigglypuff, since he’s _so_ passe. He has a charizard figurine on his work computer. Ahem! I also love the name **My Darn Snake Legs** , and I’d love to know the story behind that one! ---

For the Holy Trinity badge I believe. Yes, I am kidding. And yes, I loved pokemon. My friend from Japan brought me some cards before they were popular and I thought she was crazy. Then after it became popular I thought the world was crazy. I also had mock battles with 3 inch figurines deep in the woods, by myself. I won yesterday and am looking forward to the duel over the rainbow badge today. I also wanted to third (?) \*\*flammingbananas \*\*. I love fire and bananas and bananas on fire is just funny. Go produce on oxygen violence!
