IAmTheGodCowMoo or however she capitalized it. You have to use the signature that goes with it. I would never want to take over the name really. Nobody could.

Sig line? 😃 I’ll agree that **Freudian Slit** also has been one of my favorites.

What I would take? I’ve always been a huge fan of the name **Mathochist**. Haven’t seen him post in forever, though.

The usernames of **Exapno Mapcase, Dinsdale, Spiny Norman, SamClem, What Exit?** and **Qadgop the Mercotan** all amuse me in very different ways.

Yes–so many good names here. I always loved **Patti O’Furniture** and in this thread I see **Typo Knig** , a new favorite.

My favorites:  
Patty o’furniture: --Easy,uncomplicated, a good laugh every time I see it…  
Exapno Mapcase: --I had to have it explained to me\*, but man, that’s a good name  
And I wish I was smart enough to have thought up **Enola Straight**

Heh. Thanks–and you bet! If you were serious about it as a sig line, that is.

Also agree that I love **Enola Straight**. Oh, and **Tequila Mockingbird** , though I haven’t seen him/her around in a long time.

I dont speak Russian, but one of my co-workers does , so I know a few Russian letters:  
the one that looks like X is pronounced H  
The one that looks like P is pronounced R  
So XAPNO would be closer to “Harpo” than to “Groucho”, methinks

I have sometimes considered vastly complicated schemes for acquiring the user names **The New & Improved Superman** and **Mirror Image egamI rorriM** , but every time I start, I get distracted before I can do anything useful.

You are correct. See the final four paragraphs of [this page](http://www.troynovant.com/Franson-3/Marx-Brothers/Harpo-Speaks.html) for an example of Harpo’s use of the alias.

I see I’ll have to stand in line to get either **Czarcasm** or **Typo Knig**.

Worth it.
