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 :)

cooblanket yeah. I was trying to change my username (My original one when I joined was stupidly my actual nameHmm) and everything I tried was taken, the book was next to me so i thought I'd try it and it worked.

Mines really quite boring so would love to see if you can make anything of it

Mine definitely describes me..✌🏼

DuploRelatedInjury · 07/10/2018 19:49

Mines fairly self explanatory...

Except for Peabodyrocks Grin I am pretty sure I know exactly where that name comes from Smile
