The same happened to me: I joined just before Hallowe'en. But I managed to sort them out eventually. (Although I called someone the wrong name once afterwards.) I didn't change my name though: who would know me afterwards? I was too new. But good job with yours, Santa Claws, I like it a lot. [edit] Oops! It wasn't your idea. I see you didn't go for the "The Nightmare Before Christmas" reference "Sandy Claws". I like the movie, but I'm not crazy about that name either.[/edit] I also share your preference for "Miss L. Toe". ITElf makes me chuckle a bit, too. Hey, you were mentioning me! I hadn't gotten beyond "strain on the brain of a newcomer" yet. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship... Ha ha! Sneaky.
Well, I'm quite partial to mine, as that "other" holiday celebrated around this time of year doesn't get enough exposure.
^Good pun, OdoHanukkahnobi. It got a giggle from me. (Few do.) And kinky. Excellent! Spiffy Santa? Spaceman Sleigh? I like it. That would be funny. Truer words were never spoken. Oh, you're in trouble.
To defend those whose holiday names have nothing to do with their real ones: some names just can't be worked with.
Thanks. I was going to do Festivus of Bored again, but I did that last year, so I wanted to try something else. The ones that stood out and made me a chuckle as I was going through that thread: Quantum of Xmas (Agent Richard07) OdoHanukkahnobi (OdoWanKenobi) Happy Doc Holidays (Muab Dib - he has a Doc Holiday avatar) Dukat the Halls (Elmo Dukat - Not because you picked mine, I swear) Jinglebell Jarock (Alidar Jarok) The Abominable Spaceman Sleighman Swift Snowman's Pissed (with an evil snowman avatar) Spaceman Rockwell (show some Norman Rockwell Christmas avatars) Oh Come Let Us Adore Spiff
Thanks for everyone who likes my name Of course, the prospect of using Dukat as a verb is a little frightening...
Well, mine could, but I was really tired of being Kringle's Mom. New favorite: 4th Hanson Bro- You'll Shoot Your Eye Out. Now I want to change mine to Ohhhhhh Fudge....
Like mine. There aren't really many ways to Christmas-up "Skywalker." I guess what I came up with is okay.
Since all you have to do is look at the poster's Location, it's really not that hard to figure out who people are. I haven't had any trouble, at least. My holiday username has more to do with the mood I was in as I was driving the other night. It was the first major snow of the year, and so the snow plows and salt trucks had not been deployed yet. The roads were slippery as hell.
I like Miss L. Toe, Ducat the Halls and Kestmas Tree the most, but there are a lot of entertaining ones.
I'm glad some people like mine, though I can't take credit for it. Regifter of Toys (Locutus of Bored) was kind enough to come up with suggestions for me last year, and this was my favorite so I decided to keep it this year. Some others I've seen around that made me laugh: Guarth-O-Holy-Night (Guartho) blabgiver5 (blablover5) Santa Claws (Clawhammer) OdoHanukkahnobi (OdoWanKenobi) ITElf (ITL)
