> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > But I honestly didn’t know how to search for stuff because, let’s face it, the search function on this site suuuuuuccckkkkssss That was a bit sneaky. Type “shirley” for the user name and uncheck “exact name”. Along with the posts, you get a list of all user names that include “shirley”. ---

> [@Typo\_Knig](#): > > That’s the big disadvantage to my board handle. I did not intend to offend anyone. I wanted to play on my tendency to misspell words. I think it’s quite funny in how it makes your brain solve the puzzle: “Oh, it’s a typo in itself.” Only takes an nth of a second to figure out, but you know what I mean. Anyone who would take offense at the arrangement of letters into k-n-i-g, or at the Mel Brooks gag it reminds me of, isn’t worth worrying about. Sez me. ---

**Covered\_In\_Bees!** is the perfect username. It has zip, urgency, a sense of danger and gives a description of the user. The exclamation mark on my handle is a mark of respect ( or possibly a shameless copy…) ---

Thinking about it, your first way is probably more faithful to the original Portuguese, but hey, accents, eh? (Sidebar for Americans! In my experience, including having lived in British Columbia for a while, New Zealanders, especially rural male ones, use the word “Eh?” far, far more than Canadians ever do.) ---

As a side note to that comment, _Flight of the Conchords_ is the funniest comedy series since Month Python, in my opinion. Too bad HBO couldn’t continue to spotlight them. Jemaine and Bret are genii! ---
