to over think people's user names?

I normally just read posters comments, but I have become very drawn to people's user names. I won't single any out as that is probably inappropriate, but a lot of usernames are creating a real imagination and back story in my head (all good and positive and some a rude lol).

Does anyone else pay any attention to this or am I going through an odd phase?

BTW I enjoy KP snacks :)

Do i sound like an angry vegetarian?

Saltypeanuts · 07/10/2018 17:55

Well Fluffy - I see you as a gregarious type - someone who's fun loving and has a mischievous sense of humour. I got all that from TheFluffyHippo

Am I right?

@thefluffyhippo - were you a fan of George from Rainbow by any chance?

whiskeysourpuss · 07/10/2018 17:57

Some user names I get but others I've not got a clue what they mean although I'm sure some are completely random

Saltypeanuts · 07/10/2018 17:57

FloweringOrchid - I think you are creative and like beautiful things (I don't mean in a materialistic way). I think you can plan long term and appreciate the finer things in life
