2. Maybe not uninspired but poorly chosen.
It's pronounced doh-fus, not doofus. I didn't think I'd be posting much when I chose it. I should have gone with Duchess of Gadsden.

10. When I first saw your name I thought...
...it had something to do with a Caterpillar Tractor.
(Well, you know, Catpower...)
I actually have grown to like it though...

16. It probably stems from the ...
....fact that an old friend of mine use to work for Caterpillar Company and I think they once had a saying "If you want REAL power, go with CatPower" ....or something like that....so it warped my mind :)

6. Finally! I've gotten tired of those
"What's the derivation for your screen name?" or "Explain your screenname" threads. Although I admit Robb is just as kewl.

7. When I first saw the name WillPitt, I thought it referred to the PM
I thought the 18th-century British prime minister was some political hero of the poster's.

20. Same here...
it makes sense, because that William Pitt was one of the more liberal promenent politicians of his day.

12. I dare someone to find something not to like about LynneSin
and that sin is more than a lifestyle, it's the first 3 letters of my last name

Not only is it unimaginative, but it's the same screenname I've used at several other sites, so I didn't even originate it for this site.

28. I'll leave that up to you, rbnyc...
I've been a tad on the poll-happy end lately. :) Although DUers do love to vote -- and have their votes counted -- on nearly everything, it seems.

I'll bet they'll dress up at the drop of a hat as well.

25. Neener, neener -- from all of us at DU
who like to imagine that we have cool screen names.

Actually, I'm thinking of changing mine to:

The End of the Fourth Reich is at Hand --- but that's a bit longish.

31. Well mine is inspired...
Edited on Thu Sep-04-03 06:02 PM by notadmblnd
I came up with it after listening to my sister (who happens to be blond) speak, thus the name.

BTW.. I've never denied being a stupid redhead.:silly:

Edit: note to self.. must clean crumbs from keyboard.
