I’m just afraid my handle will never stop being associated with Newton’s Apple. But I take solace in the fact that I was here before him.

Shirley Ujest…because it’s kinda like my name, in that way.

Iamthecowgodmoo…damn funny!

Vestal Blue…it seems peaceful for some reason.

And if JohnLarrigan would ever get around to changing his name, my all time favorite would be:

**bogboypete**

My favorites:

mega the roo, for the reasons stated on a late-night post where I poured my heart out to her.

Imthecowgodmoo, though I always wondered how it was punctuated. Is it “I’m the cow god, moo” (moo being the name of the cow god) or “I’m the cow god. Moo!” (moo being what the cow god says?

SwimmingRiddles, because it just sounds so darn lovely.

Flora McFlimsy, Eve’s former handle. She changed it long before I got here, but she’s referenced it a few times, and I think it’s nifty and perfect for her.

evilbeth, because just hearing the name makes me think of an evil grin with eye teeth just slightly sticking out.

Green Bean, because she’s my sister and the name somehow fits her really well.

quadell, or more properly, my quadell, because of the explanation and the way the your quadell/my quadell fits together (as some Christians get to think of Jesus as their personal savior, I, like other SDMB’ers, get to think of quadell as my personal quadell)

A girl. She’s just A girl, but so much more. By representing herself as one anonymous girl, she comes to represent all of girldom.

Those would also be, many of them, excellent names for rock bands.

I thought of registering Floyd Pink…

Woohoo, somebody loves my creativity at least 😉 Thanks, psycat90!

Anyhoo, if, as I suspect, **Buck Naked** named himself from a line in a _Sam & Max_ comic (by Steve Purcell) then that is a cool name.

If not, then it’s just a weird name.

A dillemma presents - I’d earlier said I’d post note of my 30th post party, but here hightechburrito has exercised the “you spake its name and it will appear” clause of the unspoken rules and I am called upon. So, we’ll just have to have a 32nd post party. Ye’ll observe I’m now learned about keeping a reserve.

## Cool name, hightechburrito (digital sour cream?).

_blush_… why, Lex, I had no idea you thought of me so… or at all, for that matter! I’m honored… I’m touched… and, I’m oddly aroused!! There’s a long, old story behind my thing for the oft-ignored chrome toaster. Maybe if I’m really bored someday I will post it somewhere in MPSIMS.

Anyway, chiming in late, so no one will probably see this, but here is **my** list of favorite names, in no particular order:  
(No, I could **not** narrow it down!)

Neuro-Trash Grrrl  
Shirley Ujest  
Spiritus Mundi (but what’s it mean?)  
Doghouse Reilly  
funneefarmer  
Germ Boy  
Kellibelli  
Krispy Original (Contestant #3 was good, too)  
Lecixon  
Nanobyte  
Squid Vicious (might be my favorite)  
Peyote Coyote (might be tied for favorite.)  
Coldfire  
Trout Mask Replica  
Ursa Major (But I liked Papa Bear, too)  
Imthecowgodmoo (Is “Moo” a command?)  
Alphagene  
ZenBeam  
UncleBeer  
Ukulele Ike  
Drain Bead  
Canthearya

There are so many really cool names on this board.

Don’t get me started on **least** favorite names, though!

I like these names:

Neuro-trash grrl  
Notthemama  
Satan (I like it mostly because of the sign-off, “Yer Pal, Satan”)  
Chrome Toaster  
Lexicon  
OpalCat

My favorite is UncleBeer. Every time I hear it, I think of my dad because ever since I first saw that screen name, I just think that’s how people my age look at my dad. He’s their “Uncle Beer.” It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Wow, I’ve been mentioned several times! I knew I was on to a good thing when I came up with my handle, but still, it’s nice to be noticed. So, here are my favorites, in no particular order:

UncleBeer (Very… avuncular. Very… refreshing. Very… malted.)  
Drain Bead (Conjures up some very strange images indeed)  
Catrandom (Makes me think of a rambunctious kitten scampering about the room for no apparent reason.)  
Pixoid (Not entirely sure why it’s one of my favorites, but it is.)  
psycat90 (And OpalCat and CatRimbaud and Gr8Kat and… what!? I like cats!)  
Chrome Toaster (For some bizarre reason, I always imagine the cover of a superhero comic, with a toaster where the superhero should be.)  
tipiwoo (Very fun to say. Whatever happened to tipiwoo, anyway?)

I’m leaving somebody out, I just know it. If I think of anyone else, you’ll be sure to hear about it. Oh, yeah. One more thing.
