Reading the threads and sometimes the usernames are very funny! Mine is exceedingly dull; I'd just found out I was pregnant and had a question for the pregnancy board - hence being scared and new.

Tonight (whilst waiting for said baby to go the F to sleep!) I am laughing at needascarfformygiraffe.

So indulge/entertain a sleep deprived zombie - what's your name and where does it come from?

It's the real name of the crazy cat lady from The Simpsons, and one day I'll be her! I've already got 10 cats and crap hair. Grin

Titsalinabumsquash · 02/03/2016 13:32

Mine was my nickname given to me by a lady I lived with as a teen, it's just stuck.

I wanted Nabootique or crackfox but it was taken.

oldlaundbooth · 02/03/2016 13:35

Reasonablyintelligent similar to what Stephen Fry's teacher said about him : 'borderline genius'. He was so pissed because he was only 'borderline' !

ReasonablyIntelligent · 02/03/2016 13:37

oldlaundbooth I didn't knew that (see, only reasonably intelligent, ) Grin

ReasonablyIntelligent · 02/03/2016 13:37

Oh Lord, didn't KNOW that.
Maybe I am actually really thick... Sad

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 02/03/2016 13:39

Mine kind of speaks for itself Grin

KeyserSophie · 02/03/2016 13:42

Inspired by the thread on Sophie the Giraffe being a killer toy/ choking hazard, and a pun on Keyser Soze from Usual Suspects

Room101isWhereIUsedToLive · 02/03/2016 13:43

Because at one point I actually did live in a room numbered 101. Which was pretty yuck considering the connotations behind the number.

GetSchwifty · 02/03/2016 13:50

I like alpacamybags best.
I wanted Iamtheonewhoknocks because I was binge watching breaking bad but someone took it.
My current name is a song title from Rick and morty

ThereIsIron · 02/03/2016 14:04

Favourite Clint Eastwood movie Grin

Ricksheadtilt · 02/03/2016 14:04

Because I love the way Rick tilts his head just before he opens that can of whoop-ass Grin

misshornblowerwouldbuyit · 02/03/2016 14:32

I love Bargain Hunt.
There is often a woman in the saleroom buying things, her name is. . . miss Hornblower.

If I ever nc I might be MichaelDouglas'sexface as I saw that on here once & thought it would be a good name Grin

BreakingDad77 · 02/03/2016 14:39

As you probably guess from the Breaking Bad series which I watched while we got through the period of 3 hour feeds, staying up late and getting up early to give DP a rest.

Witchend · 02/03/2016 14:50

Well, I was going to be LonePine, but someone has already taken that one.

Witchend · 02/03/2016 14:50

Sorry. Lone Pine is from the books by Malcolm Saville and so is Witchend.

IamtheZombie · 02/03/2016 15:26

Zombie is IamtheZombie because she is the Zombie. There is more to the story and the thread which explains Why Zombie is Zombie is languishing over in Other Subjects.

While it's an appropriate name she doesn't think it's particularly clever.

Angeladelight · 02/03/2016 15:32

I had a craving for angel delight when I made my account. My name isn't Angela.
I'm craving angel delight again now!

lacktoastandtolerance · 02/03/2016 15:33

I saw someone on Facebook complaining that a restaurant didn't cater for people (like herself) who were "lacktoast and tolerant".

angryangryyoungwoman · 02/03/2016 16:07

Mine is a line from the Simpsons...
What an angry, angry young man.

ScrambledEggAndToast · 02/03/2016 19:15

I was eating breakfast at the time.

Rockytoptennessee · 02/03/2016 19:41

My current user name is a song I like.

ILoveACornishPasty · 02/03/2016 20:13

Mine is because I fucking love a Cornish pasty. I mean, an inordinate amount. I swear down I would be a size zero anorexic if my motherland had not created such a delicious handful of meaty pastry heaven sex. I live in Oxfordshah dahling now and they can't make a pasty. Seriously, they serve you something they call a pasty by it's not a pasty. It's a meat slice at the very best. Nobody can do it like the Cornish can.

I fucking love them.

I think I have a problem.

TheChippendenSpook · 02/03/2016 20:19

I used to be Grimalkin but she went to the dark. So now I'm the spook!

If you've read 'The wardstone Chronicles' then you'll know all about it!

BoJolly · 02/03/2016 20:27

It's a play on Beaujolais.

Cheers Wine

RonniePickering · 02/03/2016 20:47

Mine is so I can act well 'ard on here.
