Mine is a lyric from a Julien Baker song, and about setting personal boundaries in place.

My fascination with demons and reading books on them, and the hunter part is inspired by Supernatural.

Frequent name changer - this one's a Disney World ride.

Allschoolsareartschools · 16/09/2024 07:37

A sculpture but I changed the wording slightly.

I just looked at the shelves and this was a book that was on them.

Pringlebeak · 16/09/2024 07:41

If you put two Pringles between your lips it looks like a duck's beak. I live life on the edge.

Has anyone noticed that recently there are loads of user names with the format AdjectiveColourNoun? Usually the noun is an animal, and the overall user name ends up faintly whimsical. This sort of thing:

SparklyMauveKitten
FlowyPurpleGecko

I can't work out if it's AI, trolls or people using some kind of name generator.

I think this is MN now offering a name if you can’t think of one. Well it was in my case a while back.

StrawberrySlime · 16/09/2024 07:42

Made a mistake while baking. It was supposed to be jam.

He is so handsome 😘

TopTaxisOfSmalltown · 16/09/2024 07:52

Needed to NC for a specific post, I'll go back to my usual username later today!

TopTaxisOfSmalltown · 16/09/2024 07:53

My usual user name is a direct quote from an 8 yr old, which made me laugh quite a lot at the time.

Oh I assumed it was all the same poster, the tone of many of the posts is quite similar! But perhaps it's not. I didn't know MN suggested user names, or at least I thought it was just an auto generated "user7193035" type of name if they did.

ABananaADay · 16/09/2024 07:56

DC going through a phase of eating lots of bananas! 😂

redhatpurplehair · 16/09/2024 08:08

I regularly change my name, but I always wear a red hat when out and I recently dyed my hair.

It won't last long ( the hair or the name)

My favourite podcast character.

A much loved and missed ferret. I have had dogs, cart, guineas, rats etc but it was such an honour for me to be accepted by him.

A character from a school story.
