Ever wondered about a person's screen name? How they picked it? Does the sreen name fit the person? Or perhaps it's the opposite of the person you've come to know on the boards.

Sooooooooooooooo, here's your chance to sound off or ask. Ask a member why thy picked a name. (They don't have to answer though. :) ) Or just comment on whether you think their name fits them or not.

Comments aren't required but feel free.

So here goes.

PC - Name fits him to a tee.

Miles - Why "Miles", Miles?

Yayati - I don't even want to know.

There's this one guy, he's rather "
Anticlinal", yet his screenname is Fishmeal. I don't see the realtionship.

So as a newbie, I have to go search for the answer? Nah...... ~smiling~
 
In case anyone wants to know... "amiss" as in A Miss (a girl, etc.) and also amiss like a little bit off-kilter...

Yah, I've seen the threads that ask about screen names. Haven't seen one that allows the audience to be the judge of whether it fitsw or not. Doesn't mean that it hasn't been done. I just haven't seen that variation. :)

So why Ishmael?

Bob_Bytchin doesn't fit my real personality. In real life, I'm actually a very courteous person. ;)

Beats the hell out a 'penile' fixation. :D

You should stop reading REDWAVES threads. ;)

(My spell checker used to try to change my name to FISHMEAL, so I think I know where that comes from at least.)

tsk tsk... you know better than to assume things. The "penile" fixation was accidental. The true distorted meaning of my name has been lost over time, I have had this screen name for about 2 years. I just recently started coming to the BB's.

[hijack] Theres a redpimple thread for you to bust up http://www.literotica.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=2842430#post2842430 [/hijack]

From Melvilles novel. One of the great first lines in literature.

(There are Biblical connotations as well, but they are very secondary.)

Well, that was all-too-obvious.

Thought it may have been another penile fixation.
 
Lavender - Nope, doesn't fit. International Orange maybe. :D

Purple Haze - good match.

PaganCowGirl - Fits right down to the horses.

Bindi - What's with that?

RhumbRunner - Good fit.

UncleBill - Nah, no one has an uncle like that. Do they?

WeirdHarold - OK, sometimes.

JuicyLips - Dead on.

T.H.Oughts - ??????????????????

Thank you weed. It always surprises me that so few even bother to check that stuff out.

My nickname...

Is based on a variation of a nickname I had in college. There was a Bill Grifftih character from and underground cartoon named Zippy the pinhead, most known for his obsession with sex and drugs.

I don't do drugs nearly as often anymore

The fact that I shave my head and always have 5 o'clock shadow were just icing on the cake!

:cool:
