I'd been toying with the idea of DrowningMedusa as a name for an all girl band, but found that it was never used for anything (ie: email IDs, usernames...) so that's just what I always use now... I have no idea how I came up with it though, just two words that sounded good together and weren't completely absurd.

I had a similar thing with my username (except without the girl band and absurd part). There's only one place I've gone to where KBABZ was taken, and that was My Space (I had to fall back to KBABZonTV (TV is my initials).

I had a writing profesor that wrote in my margin "As Martin Luther stated those in pure ignorance Sin Boldly. . ." and that is the story of my life! I sin boldly when I chatter away, boring those about me, or chime in with a totally off the wall remark meant in the best way that just drives people out the doors. I sin boldly when I consistantly violate that neurotypical 'hidden agenda" of accepted social behaviour, or forge ahead with my own ideas on how to accomplish a desired result, leaving NTs in my tornados' wake gasping and struggling to climb out of the destruction.
(Well, that is what it seems like to me, anyway. Perhaps I am exagerating, but not by much :wink: )
so. . .Sins Boldly works for me!

Lost In Translation - one of my favourite films, plus, what an excellent name for an Aspie, since I seem to speak a different 'language' than NTs.

I used to manage a coffee house.
Red Meat's 'Milkman Dan' just seemed appropriate.

I think the episode was entitled "The Death Camp of Tolerance". It was the same episode that introduced Mr. Slave.
