Which PF usernames stand out as the best?

[Ivan Seeking]

I need to think about this. I noticed that I like the sound of ZapperZ. Sounds cool...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZapperZeeeee.

And I have always like Hypnagogue and selfAdjoint, and our long lost friend Bolderhead, who now lives in South America. Evo is cool, Moonbear, Math is Hard , but they are all friends so I'm biased, I guess.

 

[Moonbear]

I really don't know, there are a lot of clever usernames here. I'll have to look through the list of who's online when there are more folks around to see if any names stand out more than others.

In the meantime I nominate both dextercioby and franznietzsche as most likely usernames to be misspelled!

 

[chroot]

Dude, c'mon. chroot is the best username EVER. You guys have no idea how much competition I have for it!

Don't worry, your username is on the list I'm formulating. And I nominate you and Evo for least likely to be misspelled (though I recall someone managed to misspell Evo's name once; I think they called her Eva).

 

[arildno]

chroot, soot, boot, moot, loot, woot, proot.

Yeah, it's a cool name.

 

[Moonbear]

chroot, soot, boot, moot, loot, woot, proot.

Yeah, it's a cool name.

Which reminds me to ask:
Does chroot rhyme with soot or boot?

 

[arildno]

proot, I'd say..

 

[chroot]

It's um, sort of unpronounceable. It'd rhyme with boot, I guess, if you could say it.

Since root rhymes with boot, yes this would be most likely.

 

[Bladibla]

I vote for danger

Zero. Absolute Zero... and nothing else... ever wanted to see what's beyond the limits?

That takes care of the second part; so is it now 'Kroot' or 'Shroot'?

 

[brewnog]

Or, urm, 'Chroot'...






Anyway, why are we having this discussion. Brewnog wins by a country mile!

I always say Skhroot, I guess because the name reminds me of Scrooge

 

[Chi Meson]

Didn't this thread come up last year? And didn't we all love Zoobyshoe?
(Where is he now, eh?)

 

[theCandyman]

I like 'Astronuc'. I usually just let my eyes zip over names on forums and such because, like chroot, I have no clue how they are pronounced. However, Astronuc explained his name to me once and then I realized how to say it.

 

[Artman]

I thought it was great when in the Nerd/Pirate thread Math Is Hard changed her name to "Math Be Hard." That cracked me up.

Moonbear is a cool user name, I aslso like Zoobyshoe and for this forum Integral.

 

[ZapperZ]

The only problem with my nick is that, if you are not in North America, then it is pronounced as "ZapperZet". Then, it sounds rather dorky. :)

Zz.

I'm English & I always read it as ZapperZee.

I'm not quite sure why as I don't go by the American pronunciation in any other circumstances.

I'm Norwegian and read it Sæppersett. It has an exotic, quirky ring to it.

.. and if you tell me that it also has a vulgar and obscene meaning, I'm adopting the Norwegian version! :)

Unfortunately, no. It just sounds weird in a fuzzy, friendly way.

 

[gravenewworld]

I like 1,1,2,3,5... aka fibonacci

 

[brewnog]

I always saw it as 'Zapperzed'. I kinda prefer it like that...

 

[Moonbear]

Heh heh. I pronounce it Ch-root. (Ch as in choo choo)

It always reminds me of that B-52s song, Channel Z when they sing the Zeeeeeeeeee on a higher note than the rest of the song. ZapperZeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Yep, it's a fun one to say.

I talked to the Zoobster a few weeks ago. We have the same birthday so I had to call him up and wish him a happy one. He's doing ok. He got a job herding nocturnally roving jellyfish and that keeps him real busy. He comes by and visits PF once in a while, he just doesn't post anymore. I miss him, too.

Zoobyshoe wins.

 

[loseyourname]

How the hell has no one mentioned TheStatutoryApe? That's far and away the best username.

Herding nocturnally roving jellyfish? I've heard that term as a modification of the idiom "managing <blank> is like herding cats" for cases where the folks you're managing can sometimes get you stung.

So, is he a pimp or is he the supervisor on the night shift of a computer network?

And if he really does herd nocturnally roving jellyfish, does he get to wear a cowboy hat? And what does he ride?

 

[Math Is Hard]

I suppose he rides a bicycle when he's wrangling jellies (since he only goes after the ones that try to sneak onto land), and I believe he wears a glow-in-the-dark cowboy hat since he works at night. He rides around with a long net, scooping up the little purple suckers, and flinging them back into the ocean.

He's doing an excellent job. I haven't been stung in the middle of the night by a land-roving jellyfish in 6 months.

 

[Danger]

And what does he ride?

Wouldn't it be a seahorse?

 

[Moonbear]

And if he really does herd nocturnally roving jellyfish, does he get to wear a cowboy hat? And what does he ride?

No, of course he doesn't wear a cowboy hat, he wears a purple jellyboy hat. He rides on a network of multicolored strings. But I guess we couldn't expect someone who isn't versed in jellitivity to know that.

 

[SOS2008]

I love BobG's new avatar too! Danger started this, so maybe he can remind me of the names of these cartoon characters.
