to ask you to think of a halloween name for me?

[tethersend]

Simply because I am too lazy?

And me?

iliketosleep:

• tooscaredtosleep?
• iliketoscream?
• or the old favourite - IScreamYouScream ?

(liked the screaming abdabs!)

tooscaredtosleep is good!
pick that one!

Oooh, what about me?

I love Iliketocreep

Poisonedmead?

Psychommead?

oh, yes! Psychommead is great!

So, pickledbabe, what are you going to start drinking, to keep yourself pickled? Meths or formaldehyde?

BeerTricks, you haven't asked, but have you thought about adding the creepiness of PottersField to your nickname? Imagine the unloved dead in the earth, and shiver.... You are having such fun with other names that it seems a shame not to reciprocate!

I'm too much of a wimp to have a halloween name myself. It's the season of great fuck-off rubber spiders in every blooming shop, urgh

Right, who's next?

Ah, miasmas are fairly spooky anyway, so you are well ahead of the curve.

I can't sign into my mumsnet, it's saying the password or email is incorrect :(

I will just have to start writing iliketocreep at the top of my posts

Goodness pluperfect, you are right! Never realised quite how many disgusting connotations it had. Online dictionary says it is: "noxious exhalations from putrescent organic matter; poisonous effluvia or germs polluting the atmosphere."

What about you pluperfect?

Whooooperfect?

mmm, pluperfect, I might just drink a lot of gin.
Formaldehyde is just sooo.... dead..., don'tcha think?

So keep the Miasmas and change the Elephants...

GhoulsandMiasmas?

EarwigsandMiasmas?

VampiresandMiasmas?

Quite like the Earwigs. It would probably be EvilAntsAndMiasmas. I like the idea of evil ants on the rampage.

Well, not "like" but YKWIM :)

Formaldehyde probably preserves too much for the putrescent effect needed for Hallowe'en.

Haha, E&M, that reminded me of one of DS's books, about noisy monsters - one of them literally says "Whooooo!" in such a mannered quaver that not even DS is scared.

Not so sure about Whoooperfect - maybe it needs a hyphen so it doesn't sound like an American college football whoop!

There's always the sepulchral PassedPluperfect or pluperfectsPassedOn, but those sound a bit silly, a bit like Werther who blew his brains out for love of married Charlotte, and when they carried his body past on a shutter, she "like a well-conducted person/ Went on cutting bread and butter".

What about DeadPerfect? Or does that sound like a Charlaine Harris novel?

No point pretending not to be poncy...

Sorry, EvilAunts, your name made me sound a bit too.... fun.

past pluperfect

Evil Aunts - brilliant. I do have a couple of aunts who are, at least, raven haired and quarrelsome. :o

EvilAnts is much better :)

pustuleperfect?

I like EvilAntsAnd Miasmas.

Ooh, pustules, now there's loss of dignity! Could be a suitable humbling (is gory masochism in at Hallowe'en?)!

Booperfect?

Prefer Plupustule (yes, it's in)
