    I have a few other online aliases I could have resorted to.

    Not telling what they are. ;)

    i would have wanted hunter336, because hunter (avatar) is my god on bass, and that was already taken, so i stuck 336 on the end, because i think it was the name of one of afis early releases.

    if Cassie was taken, I'd add 1142 to the end. If THAT was taken, It'd be Snow (Nickname, don't ask.)

    Yay, 400th post :)

    AssPirate........ARRRRRR!


    Nah, I'd probably be two random words put together, either from the dictionary or because of what I was thinking about at the time.

    My name is Abstract because I was writing an abstract for a physics lab report when I first joined another forum. It's not because I'm difficult to understand or think I'm smert. :eek:

    I just used the same username for this board since I thought it was easier.

    Being an Arrested Development fan, I'd probably take a page from Abstract and go with Analrapist.

    I think the line is:

    "...and I was the first to combine analysis with therapy. That's right, I was the world's first analrapist"

    Ooo... good one. I just scoffed one of the mini ones with chocolate in it about 10 mins ago. :eek:

    Personally, I would have tried a number of Lynch movies  some of which have already been taken  before moving onto song titles...

    I would probably have left the Star Wars universe and gone for a Hitchhiker's Guide name, probably Slartibartfast or even Arthur Dent...

    Something with either the word "cheese" or "panties". But not both.
