I PM’ed Pulykamell when I first joined this site, because I wanted know if HE knew what it meant. My mum’s family is Hungarian, and it threw me off so much when I noticed his screen name.

Second vote for that, though I suppose I could be TepertőPogácsa if I really wanted to one up him. 😛

I like yours, **Clockwork**. It really stands out for some reason.

I’m jealous of pretty much everyone on this board who has a humorous, witty or unique username. Mine is not only weird and meaningless, but no can remember what it actually is, or spell it right (everyone thinks I am \*\*rhubarin \*\*or **rhubarbarian** apparently).

Jealous? Envious? Whatever.

Whenever one of these threads comes up, I first think of Czarcasm. However, there are so many clever names here that I’d be hard pressed to come up with a “favorite”.

Sometimes on the rare occasion when I’m hammered and reading the Dope, I’ll see a post by **Crowbar of Irony +3** and I’ll think for a minute “wait, when did I post that?!?”

Then I’ll feel green with envy (and usually booze) because **Crowbar of Irony +3** is such a cooler username than mine.

You’re not **rhubarbarian**? Holy crap!

Too bad. I always _liked_ the name **rhubabarian**!

Speaking of which, **Alan Smithee** has always caused a mild twinge of envy.

OK, I just laughed out loud at “The Niply Elder” posting over in the bad brands thread.

\*\*Shagnasty \*\*makes me happy inside.

I’m highly jealous of \*\*Czarcasm \*\*and **YoSaffBridge** , but there are lots of other names that deserve salutations due to cool shout-outs or wit. **Exapno Mapcase** and **Face Intentionally Left Blank** (because of the lack of avatars - it sticks in the mind) come to mind immediately, although there are lots of others that I’m blanking on right now.

**marlitharn**! Because I love that book to bits and pieces.

**you with the face** , because it’s hilarious.

**Malleus, Incus, Stapes!** because dammit, I’M a bone nerd, why the hell didn’t I think of that?

Actually, I’m jealous of all the folks who can come up with a cutesy name for their SO or kids with their usernames (like **irishfella** or **Baby From Mars** ). Mine doesn’t really lend itself that well to nicknames.
