I’d just go with SIiver. Unless you are using fancy fonts, you couldn’t tell, besides the custom user title.

My username is a stupid film joke that I thought was funny the night I chose it. If I woke up tomorrow, and my name was changed to the stupid film joke that is funny to me this night, I'd be fine with it (but it wouldn't surprise me if it was already somebody) :

I joined CP when I was into comics in college.

I haven’t
looked at a Green Lantern book in eight years.

Not to Godwin my own username, but the entire ethos of Green Lantern is the “triumph of the will,” so not exactly thrilled with that. Not exactly what I’m about.

Sebastian le Crab. Air_Bugs. Mithrandir. SirGawain. The_Lobster. BobCole.

Dunno what. But I’d make a change.

My username is based on this absolute beauty of a game from my childhood:



...I've never actually beaten it.

If I could change it...maybe something around Brett Hull Hockey 95 or Mutant League Hockey. I have a lot of great memories from heading to my friends house during lunch hour to play Mutant League Hockey on Sega Channel. We'd pop in some pizza pockets or frozen mini pizzas, fire up Mutant League, usually burn the mini pizzas, but get a few games in before heading back to school. being a kid in the 90s was pretty great.

I picked this name from the Simpsons episode where Troy McClure does the Planet of the Apes musical. For some reason I thought they said Save me Dr.Zaius in the song but it's Help me Dr.Zaius. I have no idea why I chose it as a name.

I wish I could change it just because it's wrong and it kind of drives me crazy!

I always loved the abrupt change in the song.

Phil Hartman was so damn funny.

I kind of like my username, even though it's less and less applicable. I've barely been to any junior games over the past number of years, now with COVID I haven't been to the rink at all (just now are Q games in the Maritimes being cancelled).

That said, the rise of an online conspiracy cult makes me wonder if anyone would mistake my username for Qannon as opposed to the QMJHL.

But to change? I mean it's tough to improve perfection...

I've had PM's asking if I'm really the actor. I thought the incorrect spelling of his first name would give it away but guess not. I would be fine with changing it to something more low key like Spencer.

Are those mod accounts? I can’t imagine those guys are just lurking and waiting for the right opportunity to use their power of thanks on a post.

That would require a sense of humour.

Just like Haiku, CBL, this post is terrible and a few others, I'm betting it is a forum regular who has a duplicate they log into for the sole purpose of being funny.

You know, it never occurred to me that’s what those accounts were doing.

I’ve always been jealous of them for having the discipline to only thank Terrible posts and reply in Haikus.

Shout out to whoever operates the Haiku account. Love those posts every single time. That one about Peter the other day was hilarious.
