Dandelions and Snowflakes and Fliptards, Oh My!
I've got a few minutes as my tax software updates and I look up in this thing called a pub-li-cation on this stuff called pa-per about state sales tax deductibility and recordkeeping so I thought I'd ask a favor. For the FAQ; what are all the creative names we've used to describe our young padawan? If you've got a picture link, all the better. Thanks.

First!
Q: Which man would Tony Soprano have to be before I would have sex with him?
A: Last!
Snowflake, fliptard, FFF, Nigel's proctologist, juice-for-brains, ...
DAMMIT!
DAMMIT?
Noooo... I don't think we've used that one. Perhaps you meant "Rammit" a past dirty deal?
The little trainwreck that couldn't, foreclosure boy, napping beauty, BK b-boy
This should be a fun thread.
don't forget dandelion
sorry Dawg, that was in response to missing my firstiness.
FFF = Favorite Failed Flipper
Condom Hat
Bubba's Beyotch
Nigel's Boy Toy
Pied piper of financial ruin
Lose-lose.
Poster Boy.
looser
sweetness

"Our Hero".
Yeah, I know, sometimes I'm not all that creative. If I ever write a detective story, I want to name the hero "Dixon Ticonderoga". If I'm ever in a band again, I want to name it "Millenium Hand and Shrimp". I even have the name for our first album ready.
Fliptard
Snowflake, of course
Boy wonder
"Dixon Ticonderoga"?
Don't you mean "Dixon Hill" of TNG fame?
Millenium Hand and Shrimp"
Lost me there. "? and the Mysterions" or Human Sexual Response" are more my level of hindbrain response. 'Scourse "HSR" did have the most subversive album cover of all time in "Fig. 15."
Whoops, just realized I didn't read your title before I posted.

Again, with apologies to The Simpsons, referring to Gaysey in a saracastic manner:
- Rembrandt Q. Einstein
- Handsome B. Wonderful
- Hercules Rockefeller
:-)
In the -tard family there's:
fliptard
riptard
burntard
rip-n-burntard
and let's not forget my new favorite: celebutard wannabe
I seem to also remember Koolaid-Drinker
I guess a possible addition to the -tard family could be ceasetard but that one I don't like so much because it implies the cessation of idiotic behavior on KC's part...it's like 100% inaccurate.
If he were a superhero I'd have to call Snowflake 'Gullible Boy'
Weren't there also some names involving the murse/manbag? I forget what those were...
Hey, remember the character from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" named Nurse Ratched?
How about "Murse Wretched"? ;-)
I got nothing. heh.
Amen on the celebutard wannabe. Casey's got his heart set on the Paris/Nicole get paid to do nothing lifestyle.
Casey:
Trampoline Boy
Gaysey
The Napper
Ostrich Boy
Bizarro Boy
Mop Haired Waif
How about names for Nigel?
Nigeypoo
Cotton Swaby
Swabalama-ding-dong
Swabaroo
Swabalama-dildo
Pleatherman
The Outer
Traffic Whore
@ Yer Dawgness:
re: your 12:00 pm
I guess you missed my point. Dixon Hill is already taken by ST:TNG, so my hero would be Dixon Ticonderoga. Since between Snowflake's latest ramblings and the EN commentary, I've been reading A Triple Shot of Spenser by Robert Parker, my thoughts have been drifting toward detective novels.
As for "Millenium Hand and Shrimp, it's a reference to an often muttered phrase by a character in some of Terry Prachett's Discworld series. In his Discworld series, Pratchett does for fantasy what Douglas Adams did for SF in the Hitchhiker's 'trilogy'. You'll probably find it in Men At Arms or Feet Of Clay. I don't know if you have much time for pleasure reading; I'll warn you, if you get started on the Discworld books, you'll want to read them all and there are at least 36 of them.
Casey:
nappy highlighted ho
wealth repellent

Nigel:

Parker? Spenser? My mom knows (knew?) him. Says he's a cool dude.
One of my funniest moments revisiting Boston from LA; a Southie runs up to us strangers and all but shouts; "Theah filmin' Spensah Fa Hire ovah theah!" Pointing to the set lights and trailers. We resisted our first urge to tell him "thanks we'll go the other way then..." That would have been cruel.
Prachett's works make me worry about an old sci-fi short about a failed scientist who peeks in on the future and steals sci-fi stories to publish as his own. I had "Nightmares" long before he ever thought of all those bad puns.
I just thought of this: maybe all that exposure to the 'spellings' of Granny Weatherwax, Sgt Fred Colin, Capt Carrot Ironfoundersson, et al explains why I have no problem decyphering the writings of Our Hero and others posting in these environs who don't know the difference between "your" and "you're".
@Ming
Oh yeah how could I forget
Casey = Paris Hilton's Intellectual Equal™
@ming
'wealth repellent' had me reverse snorting Pepsi at the screen for the second time today. Ouch!
Well heck if we're making up names for Nigel how about:
blog traffic repellant
blog traffic whore
blog traffic birddog
blogtard
How could anyone forget
"the pied piper of financial ruin"
Casey: "I'm gonna comeback!"
Nigel: "My site won't hate anyone!'
Rob: "I'm gonna launch a forum!"
Has anyone seen this? Let us please discuss.

@mermaiden...
"So, Serin continues to search for his eureka moment and hopes to strike gold."
"We the jury find, in the case of United States v Casey Serin that the defendent is guilty on all counts."
EUREKA!
How can the fool constantly flaunt everything wrong he has done and continue to make it smell like his shit don't stink? That is the question... any answers? KC, have an answer?
