Now it sings karaoke. Well, I’m _not_ an Eddie Murphy fan, and now all I can think of are Wookiees in pubs. Can you explain to me what it really means? ---

I haven’t seen poster **Warm Buttered Toast** in a while, but that is my second favorite name after **Atomic Badger Racing** and the long gone, but not forgotten **Imthecowgodmoo**. ---

The name **Velvet Jones** cracks me up too. Isn’t it the name of an Eddie Murphy SNL character? ---

Ah, so that explains your otherwise surrealist post. I’m glad to know my comment made such a lasting impression on you. 😃 > [@brownie55](#): > > But it’s French for hummingbird, how is that Stalinist or savage? In my case, it’s actually Spanish, but since it’s the same word in French you can be forgiven the error. 😉 If I had wanted a savage user name I would have picked Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec hummingbird-god of war and human sacrifice. I really wish I had picked **George of the Jungle** , since my name is George and I work in the jungle. ---

> [@dnooman](#): > > Thanks! I was not expecting a mention here. BTW, how is my user name pronounced in your head? I’ve always wondered how it sounds in other people’s heads. I don’t want to ruin what cachet it may have by telling you how it’s pronounced in my head. I’m sure yours is better. da-nooooo, man. Rhymes with moo. Your being in an altered state and apparently speaking Spanish makes me suspicious that you’re me in disguise. It would explain a lot, really. ---

**pretend** , your handle puts me in mind of a hardbodied, be-freckled grrljock with glorious wavy red hair, who fixes me with huge pale blue eyes, slowly unzips the top of her skintight speedskating suit and whispers, “…_but you can call me Chris._” ---
