Usernames
I know it's been suggested and ignored before but goddamnit it's driving me mad. I'll grant you that half of the stories won't be that great, mostly along the lines of 'it's a funny word', but the other half would be somewhere between hilarious and fascinating.

Mine is obvious but was there ever really a 'scary duck'? Is it Rachelswipe or Rachel's Wipe? And if it's the second one, what's so important about that wipe? I'd quite happily listen to the story of the dog version of Legless again but this time on-topic and will buy adult nappies for when disasterprone proves it's not just a funny name. What did Pigeon Nipples get his knighthood for? Has Rakky remembered that password yet? Is that the real Frank Spencer sucked into reality by some sort of wormhole? Some dirty, filthy wormhole? What the hell is a Cmpod? What the frig is a Pooflake? Does Humpty Dumpty have proof that would stand up in court? Can I Have Run Out Of Coke not just go to the shop? Is The Resident Loon an official position and, if so, how much does it pay? Is TheWeeWitch real? I quite like my penis and that worries me. Does Chickenlady love life? Did her friend once punch out a cow? Two cows? Which country is Che Grimsdale trying to liberate? Or is it a mispelling of Chez and it's a theme park where all the tours are disrupted by Norman Wisdom crashing through the wall hanging on to the back of an out of control lawnmower? Big-girls Blouse doesn't look big from her pic so is there something special about that blouse? It also might be the only week I read what Apeloverage posts!

I NEED TO KNOW!

interesting idea
I can't remember which week it was, but it was apparently discussed recently that while the name is intended Poo Flake, and some read it this way, others read it as Poof Lake. And they have been teasing him as such. It is funny as hell.

This is a brilliant idea
I want to know why people have their strange names!

Why is CrackhouseCeildhiband called that? And why is it so bloody impossible to spell?

Yes, yes and yes!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that's been thinking about this. My user name was part inspired by daytime television advertising, for example (and I think that's sufficiently vague for now)...

CHCB did tell me the origin of her username, but I was so pissed by that point, I've forgotten...

The truth behind the username......
Like it. There have been a couple of threads with users googling their usernames, and of course the 'hot or not' thing (which sensibly I didn't enter).

Being the Resident Loon
doesn't pay in currency, but damn it pays off in entertainment...

My name story is pretty lame, really- but I use a few names on different sites, so I might have enough for a decent post.

Ahhh Poof Lake
My family used to summer there when I was a boy!

See? It's more interesting than I thought. Davros' Granddad, I had you pegged as just putting together funny words to form a name. Now I'm even more intrigued damnit!

Mine is a fascinating tale...
But I'd just like to take full credit for the pooflake/Gaypond piss-take.

Mine's quite obvious
but it's not my original one......

I just thought of it one day and tried it to see if was taken and it wasn't so there.

Anyhoo having 2 users suits my schizophrenic side.

*clears throat*
Dirty Weeker
Ever wondered about the term used by and for the citizens of Wick. Well it apparently is a corruption of a phrase the evolved during the town's Herring days. It was not as you might think a derogatory term which pokes fun at people who don' wash. The original word was "Dirdie" a Caithness word meaning busy. Over time it was corrupted to dirty and somehow adopted by locals endearingly referring to each other as "Dirty Wickers" meaning a real Wicker.
You can now buy "Dirty Weeker T shirts from the Wick Heritage Centre who designed the T shirts.

Nah
You've got a pretty face and clearly no gigantic wobbly under-chin area. Although you also have no ears so I can't really be 100% about anything....
