Are there any DU'ers whose handles creep you out?

I just saw one, with a low post count too.

3. not sure about that, but....
I have had to block the huge images some use in their siglines, though, because they distract too much from the message ;)

5. Care to name names?
I mean - I see some names and wonder "WTF were they thinking?"

But then, I didn't put a lot of thought into picking my handle either - On message boards I usually use a name from an old TV show - I have been, among others... Larry Tate, Samantha Stevens, Mrs. Cravatz, Eddie's Father, Fred Mertz, Ethel, Edith Bunker, Rockfish... I never consider gender, just the character.

This is the one that has lived long into infamy - I don't even visit other boards so those names are lost now.

9. Is it against the rules to call out the name of someone who's tombstoned?
I saw one with an obvious freeper name who somehow got to 16 posts before the TS.

... if you didn't know it is a Mystery Science Theater reference.
