Poll question: I've decided that I'm going to change my username.
Elrond Hubbard has been good to me, but I admit that I'm sick of it, for a variety of reasons.
Anyway, I'm having trouble picking one, but had a number of ideas that I liked. Some of them are very nerdy, some stupid, some in between.
I'd like Loungers to vote on my choices so I can come to a decision. :P
Feel free to add any suggestions of your own.
Er, maybe these all suck, but I like them.
What do you guys think?

1. Danger Mouse is the coolest
Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 05:13 PM by ThomCat
But I really also like Heavily Armed Pokey. :)

Um... I'm a big Calvin and Hobbes fan but I don't get the A Magical World reference. :shrug:

2. It's one of my favorite quotes from C and H...
'It's a magical world, Hobbes ol' Buddy...let's go exploring.'

12. Danger Mouse is also a DJ/producer, so you'd be more or less biting him with Danger Mouse.

5. Man with a harmonica.
Instant winner! Better than 'Thetan 8++'

Believe me. You won't regret it. And it even shortens to MWAH!

9. Huh?
I thought it was an ABBA song. Can't get wrong with these, ya know. 'Dancing Girl,' 'The Man With The Harmonica In His Eyes,' 'Waterloss,' or even the big hit 'Xenudu!' Or was that from LOL?

11. I know,
because it would have looked awkward in 'Deliverance.'


Still, a great ABBA song.

14. 'Moan Like A Hamster.'
Now, there's your challenge!

Another great ABBA song, though not as good as 'Gerbil! Gerbil! Gerbil!,' but way better than 'Ox and Ox and Ox.'

16. I didn't know the original Man With A Harmonica reference.
When I saw it, I thought of the Twighlight Zone episode where the tall-tale country boy is abducted by aliens, and defeats them with his harmonica.

You could always choose the name "Its Not Fair" and keep a sigline pic of Burgess Meredith and his broken glasses :)

17. Danger Mouse and Count Duckula are both good
I'd go with the latter though, because Danger Mouse is perhaps too important.... it would be like calling yourself Superman, where as I think you could maybe get away with Green Lantern. Don't get me wrong - Green Lantern was my favourite, but it seems less ostentatious.

God I loved Danger Mouse, lol.

21. same here
He's a big part of many of our lives. If you change your name to that, you're taking on tremendous responsibility. Are you ready for that? Can you live up to all of the expectations that people will have of Danger Mouse?

23. I already appropriated the founder of a major religion AND a kickass elf all in one username.
I think I can manage. :D

29. major religion?
I'm not sure if "major" or "religion" really apply. As for elves, I don't care, so long as they make me things for Christmas - their names don't mean shit to me.

I think you're seriously underestimating the importance of Danger Mouse. It would be like if you changed your username to, like, my dad's actual full name or something. It's pretty serious.

Never mind the fact that it's because of your name that we're friends. :cry:

At some point.


I clearly remember thinking you were an ass, but I liked your name, so I decided to compliment yo instead of pointing out your assholery. :rofl:

Even though I've never gotten past the first few minutes of that game. :P
