    I hate really long one word usernames that mess up the layout of the page...

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I have to confess that misspelled usernames drive me up the wall. .

    You must have little to worry about if driven up the wall that easily.

    Boring people who use their real name as their username. Be a bit creative. Most popular one is the Keiths. Keiths just have no imaginations!

    Yes, it's fortunate that we live in a universe where we can only worry about one thing at a time, and I am therefore oblivious to everything else that's wrong with the world.

    The username I wanted was taken so I added in extra letters/number
    loooooooool juuust kiiidinggggg

    Youtube is far worse, any channel with "productions" is usually a young teen boy or really bad home made rap.

    Actually I do judge someone who put in the current year in their username, why oh why, everyone has been in the "username is taken" conundrum but surely the best way of solving that isn't thinking hmm whats this year, shall do.

    You know what for boards I don't judge but if its work related that pisses me off, never again do I want to recieve an email from "thefuzzybear"...

    I should have put a space between the first 2 ks and the 3rd one. I'm not racist. I even love when my toast goes black :)

    Boobs are always a good response, I think you'll find.
    I'm sure most of the AHers will agree with me.

    Fact.

    Also, I've never known a racist to show their boobs online. Not that that necessarily means anything, just saying...

    That's very true. I think it's because they're afraid people of "inferior" races will somehow come across them, as it were.
    An interesting piece of irrelevant trivia for you.

    I'm secretly jealous of his good looks and articulative culturally literate posts and so wish to replace him here on boards. The only way of doing that though is killing him. Then everyone will love meeeeeeeeeeee!!!

    I had typed Potential-Monkey, and gone through the whole process only to realise too late that the max was 15 characters and it cut the y off the end...

    I'm not too fond of a username that's too hard to say. Too much effort.

    Obviously I only chose my user name out of a sad longing to return to my 30's, my hair, my waistline. As my mother often says "the only waves in your hair are the ones goodbye!"

    It's catchy, distinctive and memorable, but if you start posting about the darkness and the pain of life man, it could suddenly seem much more emo.

    It has a nice rhythm to it, and also sounds delightfully filthy without being overtly dirty, giving it a wonderful sense of mystery.
