I’m a big fan of both \*\*Unauthorized Cinnamon \*\*and **Fuzzy Dunlop**. Both references to separate (but both amazing) HBO series.

Someday someone will be jealous of [my name](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHIegpSmIyw). Someday.

God help me Bob, since some idiot called you Bob _Douche-A_ in a thread one time that’s how I pronounce your username in my head all the time.

I had not seen this name before, and have been chuckling about it all day! This might be my favorite Doper name now and I am totally jealous that I didn’t think of something witty like that.

Mine, Bosstrain: train meaning there is no stopping it once it starts (or at least is very hard to), and boss as in the guy in charge (usually of said train to be exact). 🆒

I gotta say, I imagine that few would dare enter into a flame war with **Hot Flung Wok**.

To be fair, **Bosstrain** is the first one to use _jealous_ correctly. All the rest of us so far have been _envious_.

I’m not exactly jealous or envious, but man I had enough problems telling myself apart from **Broomstick** , and now we have a **Bosstrain**. Things are going to get confusing for me.

My favorite has always been **Freudian Slit**. So much so that for a small time, my weekly trivia team was named Freudian Slit (the idea was to come up with the most punnish and dirty team name). 😃

There was also an old poster named **Ottoerotic**. Always get a chuckle when I think of it.

Oh, yeah, and I always wish I had though of **Mathochist** first.

Also, aforementioned **BellRungBookShut-CandleSnuffed** has always had some wonderful imagery for me.

Someone told that you aren’t half as clever as you think you are, but in your defense I corrected him.

‘You with the face’ makes me happy every time I see it.

Exapno Mapcase. I’m not really jealous I suppose, but I like it. I didn’t know what it referred to until I read some excerpts of Harpo Marx’s autobiography. I had a good laugh.

There are so many good ones around here.

Don’t worry my man, I’ll keep it straight for ya’ 😉 , and I’ll try and fix **Broomstick** if it breaks 🙂 , but most likely I’ll say something that gets me banned soon enough, so you’ll just have to worry about the sweeping the floor and not the conductor blowing his whistle…Wahahaha, I made a funny 🆒

When I originally signed up for this site, I wanted the username \*\*Your Name Here \*\*but it was not available. I have never seen anyone post with that name.

**Ulf the Unwashed** always makes me giggle when I see it.

Another vote for **Typo Knig** too.

And **carnivorousplant** because carnivorous plants are cool. /Doctor Who
