My choice: nude ant

simple but not cutesy with an interesting yet non-threatening edge - is ant nude in earnest or humorously nude?

kudos

One really good one is Larry Nagel.

tippy · October-17th-2007, 04:39 PM

Does always bring a smile.

Solid. Down to business without being boring.

Ron Thorne · October-17th-2007, 04:40 PM

I could be wrong, but I'm thinking that Nude Ant is a reference to a fine Keith Jarrett ECM recording, the title of which I always enjoyed . . . Nude Ants.

tippy · October-17th-2007, 04:52 PM

stonemonk, you are stonemonk to me because that's what I call you in my head and yeah, Pedantic Wretch is fine. Actually that one made me chuckle for a good length of time.

I think he used to post from work and he retired from CalTrans. That is not a bad thing.

I love your screen name. Not everyone is honest enough to out themselves as a transvestite.

tippy · October-17th-2007, 04:57 PM

hey that's good to know about Fish, Steve. I remember him being on the depressed side and I wondered whether we depressed the hell out of him or what. Yes retirement from CalTrans is a good thing, lol

Hate to break the news, but I don't say it like that. I say it all together. "Stonemonkts." Like the end of "Certs."

tippy · October-17th-2007, 05:04 PM

can any human really pronounce the "onkts" ending?

on the other hand, having been stonemonkt is pretty cool.

you been monkt, my friend, stonemonkt.

It's still a keeper, stoneman.

jazzy mary · October-17th-2007, 05:06 PM

I always pronounce is "stonemonks"--the "t" is silent-- in my head.

Yeah, and I liked Scott Dolan I almost as much as Scott Dolan II. But how about the little taglines near the avatar? Who's the "Registered Abuser" and who's the "Substance User"?

And I'll match my "Unfocused User" and avatar combo against anyone! Bring it on!

Which is a sound-alike for "New Dance", while "nude ant" is just stating the obvious, a virtual tautology.

User Name would make a good user name. So would Name User.

Or "nameless user". Or even "shameless user".

Monte's a loser name, that's for sure.

No, I mean "Loser Name" could be a user name. I wasn't saying your proffered names were awful names.

Hey! Is Monte a loser name? That's why I named my kids Gungadar and Fulgencia Maeve Myfanwy...trying to live my own cognomen down. Cognomen! That'd be a good name for a user or a child.

No, it's not really a loser name, just razzing you, but you were wise to give your kids names with more distinctive character. And I'll admit I didn't put much thought into "groover", just wanted some anonymity. After 4,476+ posts, I guess I'm stuck with it.

Cognomen's an interesting word choice, Monte. I like the second definition.

cog·no·men

(kŏg-nō'mən) Pronunciation Key
n. pl. cog·no·mens or cog·nom·i·na (-nŏm'ə-nə)

1. A family name; a surname.
2. The third and usually last name of a citizen of ancient Rome, as Caesar in Gaius Julius Caesar.
A name, especially a descriptive nickname or epithet acquired through usage over a period of time.

One name I have not seen posted here in a long time I kinda like , ABIGJAZZFAN.
>> My second choice would be this Canuck Don username. Kind of rolls off your tongue kind of smooth like,,,,,eh.......

Does anybody else think Queen Ltifah looks hotter than hell in that picture at the top of the main forums page?

She's got a pretty face, and the rest of her isn't bad, either.

Only fleas, but not in fleece.

She's be a neat one to know and hang with. She's a fascinating and pleasant, she makes me wonder how it would be to know her and be her friend. She says she has an evil twin, I think I'd like both of them. I wonder if she's like my own sister?

Distinctive? We'll see. We've already met a couple dozen other Gungadars on the playground.

Fulgencia Maeve Myfanwy's full name is actually Gaia Fulgencia Maeve Myfanwy Caligula Mussolini Smith-Assad Nero.

And I think those of us who use our "real" names should get special props for having the balls to own up to the occasionally stoopid things we "say" that are now forever archived in the annals of webdom.

Pedantic Wretch is one of my faves too.
