> [@twickster](#): > > Were you at **FairyChatMom** ’s going-away picnic? If so, I think I’ve seen a picture of you – and, yes, it’s the disconnect between the name and the person that makes me giggle.

**Czarcasm** **LurkMeister** , even though he has more than 1000 posts 😛 **Mirror Image egamI rorriM** I don’t get **Bambi Hassenpfeffer** ’s name. Searching the web for it just brings up a picture of him. ---

My name is invented. There isn’t anything to get, really. I just made it up, because I like the sound. The first hit on Google is my LiveJournal. There’s nothing in it, because I’m not real big on the journaling, but I use it to post non-anonymously here and there on LJ. That name’s a joke too: **Anita Mandelay** , along the same lines as our very own **AnitaVacation** , because I’m single right now. The next couple are me too – a login on a Dope-related Trek board, a picture of me, and that’s it. ---

Another vote for **Rue**. It always makes me picture Bugs Bunny shaking his fist angrily threatening: “You’ll rue de day…” And **Judith Prietht** always makes me laugh. Like that bad joke from the Muppet movie: Kermit: “That’s a myth. Myth!” Woman: “Yeth?” ---

> [@kidchameleon](#): > > Hassenpfeffer is German rabbit stew. This really obese King kept trying to get Bugs Bunny caught to make his hassenpfeffer. While true, that’s not entirely relevant. I just grabbed Hassenpfeffer because I like really big deutsche Wörter. Although I suppose _Bambi Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung_ would’ve been funnier. ---

> [@Pride of the Peaches](#): > > Another vote for **Go You Big Red Fire Engine** because it’s just silly. Yay! No… wait… :smack: I hope you’re not calling the comedy of Adam Hills stupid! The phrase ‘Go You Big Red Fire Engine’ is used for encouragement, it’s kinda sarcastic, of course, at the same time. Hmmm, I vote for **Shirly Ujest** , **Karl Vansen - Latex Division** (sp?), **Ford Prefect** and **dont\_ask**. Why dont\_ask? Because of this conversation at the brisbane dopefest… Xenonymous: “So which doper are you again?” dont\_ask: “dont\_ask” Xenonymous: “Ok. I won’t” 😃🆒 ---

New favorite! I can’t remember exactly how it was done (I get stuck on the “e” … should have paid closer attention before leaving the thread) but one member changed names from **cityboy** to **upside down** - but it’s upside down - not rightside up. If I can find again the thread where I saw it I’ll return with a correction. ---
