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 :)

No, I just like this joke. Bit of a london thing as an accent helps but still Grin

I look at user names like user22424323432423 and wonder why they didn't bother to come up with an actual name. Was it really that much of a stretch?

Uncanny Grin. You have a gift! It’s actually in reference to Tourette’s tics, but your personality assessment is spot on ShockGrin.

TheFaerieQueen - intriguing spelling of Faerie - what does it mean?

It's a 1980s comedy reference from one of the most unfunny comedians on the planet, but somehow the coversation between the girl in the scene and her hairdrier named Foenie had me in giggles at the age of about 10.

So still very mature and showing my age Grin

I do this but not on here, I do it for the women I see regularly who work in the supermarket I use most. I give them names too. I can never remember the real ones. Blush
