saddam hussein has a funny username. It's just a pity that he ain't funny. Just another wanker.
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

What is your criteria for determining the worst name? Do we simply make the judgment based on the choice of name, or is the owner of that name a factor too?

What's that one guy's handle, IH6888UE or something like that? I never cared for that "license plate" style of naming. (I make no criticism of the user himself, who to my knowledge has done me no wrong whatsoever.)
Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.

I nominate myself for Invisible Lounger. I've only been in one real back and forth conversation in the forums.

I was thinking of changing my user name to CIA Test OX (anagram) to see if that provided a chuckle, but I ordered a book from Loompanics 13 years ago and the Gov't still has me listed as a "possible subversive", so I decided not to throw gasoline on the fire.

For those who don't know, OX was the codename for the "massive dose" testing phase in the LSD tests.

I was dumb enough to name myself after a Pokemon. Three years later when they are not cool anymore, I have a decent post count I do not want to lose.

I always thought your name had something to do with Street Fighter.

I do more than my share of threadkilling and thread hijacking.

My user name served a purpose ages ago but now it means zero. I wish I could change my name and keep my post count.

NOOOOO!!!! You killed it man! When someone comes to the board crying for self pitty "no one ever responds to me" you are supposed to ignore them. It makes it just that much more funny.

Anyway, this wasn't meant to be a real contest. Just wanted to point out the presence of Mr SH , or was it one of his lookalikes?
Most usernames are pretty stupid, funny if you realise that as a grownup you finally get a chance to make up a real cool name (at least not as horrible as the one your parents gave you), and what do you do?...you **** up!

Tigerabbit, at least when you hijack a thread it isn't to post the same crud jamming up a dozen other hijacked threads! Hope life gets better for you soon!
