_Grazi!_

That **Enola Straight** cat has a pretty damned clever username, come to think of it.

_blush_

**The Chao Goes Mu** , **Enola Straight** , **Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor** , and **Qadgop the Mercotan** are all cool usernames, even though I don’t get the references of the last two, but yes I typed them all from memory 🆒, and add that **Eats\_Crayons** is also a cool name.

Before reading this thread, I had no idea what **punoqllads** meant. :smack:

And **FireUnderpantsBoobs** was a better username than **AwSnappity**.

**F. U. Shakespeare**

It reminds me of “The Odd Couple” when Oscar complains that Felix keeps leaving notes around with the initials “F.U.”.

“Do you know how long it took it me to figure out that ‘F.U.’ meant ‘Felix Unger’?” 😃

Or two completely unrelated German ones… one ridiculously long one and a short one… like “Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung Eis” or something.

I saw one today that I liked a lot– **stately plump buck mulligan**. Also I like **Kizarvexius** , though I might have said that in another thread. **ultrafilter** is pretty cool too.

Wow, mentioned so early…usually it is not envy my name inspires as much as disdain.  
You have made my day **Bruce**.

I don’t know about whose name I envy, but I have a certain fondness of **iamthewalrus(:3=**.

I hadn’t noticed the upside down name yet, thats pretty cool too.

I giggled several times over three days after seeing a post from **Bob Loblaw**. And I told it to a lot of people I know IRL.

I was totally creativity-dead on the day I needed to make my first reply, so I’m stuck with this dull name forever.

OTOH, I’d love to have **Yoyodyne** ’s name. It sounds so cool even if you don’t get the movie ref.

Dang, **umop ap!sdn**. Where the heck have you been hiding? That’s a great name~

As for all time favorites, **czarcasm** is at the top of my list.

:smack: That _is_ brilliant. I had to say it out loud to get it, though.

**Aagramn** makes me laugh. I picture him/her signing up: “A Ragman.” Nah, too natty. “AgarMan!” Nope, don’t want to be percieved as a gelatinous superhero. What the hell, let’s just put the ‘n’ over here. Done and done. 😃  
**Lobsang** is great, but I can never remember if he got it from the book that it makes me think of, in which “Lobsang” is an english fellow who falls out of a tree, ‘remembers’ that he’s the reincarnation of a Tibetan holy man, and then makes a pile of cash authoring pop spirituality books.

Nope, I still don’t get it. Bob Loblaw. Bobloblaw. Bobble Oblaw. Huh? 😕

**Bob Loblaw** = “Blah blah blah”. Maybe it doesn’t work as well with your crazy English accent.

That must be it. 🙂 I’d never have got that in a million years. “O” just doesn’t saound like “Ah” to my ears…

And I’ll see your Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung Fremdsprachendkorrespondentin and raise you an Oberammergaueralpenkräuterdelikatessenfrühstückskäse 😉

**LIGHTBULB** 😃 Now, I get it. Though I always have found it funny seeing macho American cowboy types calling each other “Barbie”.

Ah, yes, usernames.
