Usernames You Could've Chosen, But Didn't

Keyser Soze. My wife just watched The Usual Suspects last weekend, so now she gets the references I use often. However, the name is …. Well, it’s a little dark.

Close second, Minister of Silly Walks.

Why don’t I use MST3K related names? There are a lot of creative screens names that have come to fruition without my help.

One of my favorite sketches. A pic of Crow in his turkey volume guessing man costume would have been a pretty good avatar.

One of my other usernames elsewhere is imcrushingyrhead, which is a reference to the Head Crusher from Kids in the Hall. My derby name, similarly, was Hedda Crusher.

I got to thinking - my username does have an MST connection, as a riff source. Bridget and MJ even referenced it in their recent(ish) “Mother of the Bride” riff.

Still, “Dickweed” as a unsername has laugh potential, like if someone addressed me personally with a difference of opinion, and said… “Your wrong, dickweed”, or “Where did you get that idea, dickweed?” or “I prefer stuffing to potatoes, dickweed” - Imagine all the bannings for abusive name-calling? :rofl:

In another thread, I mentioned my sister used to call me Eeyore, she also called me Sgt. Joe Friday, because of how I’d lose patience with drawn-out explanations (“Just the facts, ma’am”), so those are others I could have gone with.

It’s from a late-80s/early 90s Cyberpunk game. DataAngels were people who had uploaded themselves to the net and ceased to have a physical form. I’m a complete introvert and have pretty debilitating social anxiety, so I only really “exist” online.

I like Lowkeeba. I laughed out loud the first time I saw your name.

I was in such a rush to sign up I just used my real name but the wonderful community manager @Lesley just waved her wand and made me Pearls_Mint!

Warning, I may cause you to fall in love with an evil mad scientist.

I’m confussed - tried to edit then delete and that didn’t work. Anyway, deleted because I got my Baseball Dorsey’s mixed up, so the joke was a fail.

We still like you, though.

I just had to narrow down my list and the ones I passed over (don’t know if any are already in use)…

SweetFloppyFrank
EndlessFrank
MatchesForMikey
Mintgiver (someone’s gotta have this one right?)

Ultimately I wanted something related to one of the women of MST3K; I stay gender-neutral on most social media thanks to the… unpleasantness women can encounter. But here I’m lettin’ it all hang out… lady style

Can’t believe they passed over MJ for an Ace award. Her work in Hobgoblins will live on forever (long after the couch has to be retired).

Thanks @DataAngel! I love that you reference sandwich making panic in your bio. That’s one of my all-time favorite host segments.

Is it an odor?

Something in me is broken. I read this in Tom Servo’s (Kevin’s) voice…
