**Enola Straight** is one of my favorites.  
I had to think for a minute before I got it.  
Then I laughed.  
But not as much as I laughed the first time I saw **Patty O’Furniture**.  
🙂

_Lou Stules_ is what I sometimes wish I’d named myself. I’ve never bothered to see of anyone else has ever used it.

Amazing! A work buddy and I used to have fun making up names for our cow-orkers and one we never failed to chuckle at (even after all these years) was Lewis Stulz.

I liked the name **Don’t Fight the Hypothetical**. I was a lurker during the thread that spawned it. But he went and got banned.

Ever since seeing Airplane, I’ve just been waiting for the longest time to someone to be talking to me, and use the word “surely” so I could say that in response. Unfortunately, the word appears surprisingly little in everyday conversation… at least in my experience.

Happens more often than I’d think.

In the same vein (vane?) I had an old manager who would always tell me to do things and this what we would do:

Him: Hey fill in that product for me can ya?

Me: I dunno…I’ve never been to Africa

You do? Or are you just using it as a platform to say surely? Because I rarely ever hear it.

… by the way, don’t call me Shirley. And thank you! =P

I envy **MeanOldLady, Vinyl Turnip and Typo Knig** their user names. I also enjoy posts by them, so win-win.

By the way- “cow-orkers” is one of the funniest typo’s I’ve seen lately.

It’s not a typo, but an SDMB “meme” (at least here’s where I saw it first. Many moon ago.) I need to add that one to the thread on such matters. 😉
