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.

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

R eneB ouchardN ewY orkC ity 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. :hi:

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.
