WOOKINPANUB, I’ve been reading your posts here for years, and every single time, my brain at first reads your username as WOOKIEE IN A PUB. Every. Time. And I’m not even a drug user (yet).
Anyway, I just want to say that a Wookiee in a pub is a great mental image, and is probably where I would expect to find an actual Wookiee.
(And yes, I’m old enough to understand where your username really comes from, which makes my inevitable brain fart on reading your name even more inexplicable 
).
Yep. I always read her username as ‘WOOKIE IN A PUB’ too.
But then, every time I see scumpup I think, ‘Scumping up, sir!’
I misread engineer_comp_geek as engineer_comp_jerk for I don’t know how long, and I honestly don’t know why. I don’t dislike the poster. I’ve never disliked the poster. My brain just latched onto something and wouldn’t let go.
I hesitate to imagine what some people have done to Derleth in their minds.
Maybe it all depends on familiarity. No doubt some here know about the Derleth you’ve (apparently) named yourself after. Others, who have never seen the name, might come up with all kinds of imaginative explanations.
Same here. I always read it as WOOKIE IN A PUB.
Where does her username come from?
I’ve read it usually as Wookiee Panub, kinda like a scene with a bunch of characters heatedly debating and someone says, “let the Wookiee, Panub, speak!”
For some reason I always read it as Workin’ In A Pub, but then I misread most usernames and thread titles.
I don’t do anything to it – I just think you’re August Derleth, back from the dead and writing Lovecraftian horror with better insight now.
The one I keep misreading is boytyperanman, which always looks like bootypiranha to me
Well heck, I never thought I’d ever see a thread about little old me (unless it was in the pit, which I would not like). Thanks for thinking of me, Bill-o!
The first time someone told me they read my name as you do I thought it was adorable and *almost wished *that’s what it meant. For anyone who is wondering why / irritated by the fact that it’s in caps, I am not yelling at you or being an attention whore. When I signed up years ago I was at work where the software I used required the use of caps. I really didn’t notice it was all in caps until I was done and was going to ask to change it but thought it kind of mirrored Buckwheat’s sort of loud and hapless delivery. Not everyone has been enamored of my name; someone - I can’t recall who- told me they hated it and it made them borderline sick :eek:
How can any image override the original? I smile just picturing Eddie Murphy with that string of question marks underneath! 
That’s Brian Boitano, from South Park because it’s really the only place I’ve heard the name.
Why is she always shouting her name?
Unce, Tice, Fee Times a Mady.
Fee Times a Mady was a close second

Are you being a wiseguy or did you not see my explanation? :dubious:
Sorry, missed that.
I probably shouldn’t open the Buckwheat sings YouTube right now. I remember the SNL character but can you tell me just what he’s mispronouncing… Look in a pub? I want to give your username all the respect it deserves!!!
So…you don’t work in a pub?
If I remember correctly, it’s “lookin’ for love…”
He’s singing “Lookin’ for love (in all the wrong places”.
