So, do any of y'all have any alternate nyms you ask questions under besides the one you're registered here as? I'll start: I used to sign under the 'nym "Curiosity's Cat, now deceased."

If you don't want to, I guess you don't have to say what your alternate 'nym is, but it's fun if you do too.

P.S. I have more 'nyms than just my reader name and the on above, but I still ask questions as one of the other ones regularly.

When I first first started asking questions, I was going to have several different variations of the same name: kokotheenchantedone, theenchantedladybug, stuff like that. And there is actually one question where I signed "theenchantedpenguinslave." But I was thinking about things, and then I read a question about how to choose a 'nym or 'nyms, and I decided that I wanted to be one of the known readers rather than one of the clever new-name-for-every-question readers.

I do, however, plan to change my 'nym if (WHEN!) I am accepted as a writer. : D

Apart from the variations of my nym, I have used nerdular nerdance a couple times, and discomfitted watch. I have one or two other nyms that I am trying out as well, but other than that, it has been random stuff.
Oh, and reviewing my questions, I asked one as Sam once, how odd.

I almost always ask using this 'nym. I think I might have asked a question or two under another 'nym, but it was so long ago that I don't really remember.

Ditto to what Fred said. I made up random things for questions early on, but once I picked The Answer is 42, I stuck with it. Unless there was a question I didn't want attached to me (or to fake me), in which case I made up yet another random name for that question only.

Didn't you use 'distracted' after the December Reader Party?

I've only ever used Unit of Energy. Well there was one question that was asked using a different 'nym, my roommate and I decided to use that 'nym as our 'nym when asking questions together.

Oh, Foreman knows of my identity regarding one of them, Praises unto the Foreman, is mine as well, so I see no point withholding that one.

Remember, it's only Foreman no the attached.

...unless there is some joke that I am not getting, I am sure that both 44296 and 42598 both say the Foreman. Maybe there can be The Foreman awards in the future? Or a title? or a rad way to say his name?

All I know is... this

You're doing an excellent job so far, King of arbitrary nitpicking. Keep up the good work.

If he is stuffed in he can.

And SWKT, you see the truth for what it is, you have seen my altars dedicated to writers, stained by the sacrifice of many a werf

Dude, I'm a Queen. (Although I am rather indignant about what I am queen of.)

And I concede point to you. King's pawn to you.

Wait, based on this thread? Why am I court jester based on this thread?

Though not on this thread (up until this very blessed moment), I want to be on your cabinet! I think I would make a great addition to your world domination based on my sheer awesomeness and the fact that I hate being in charge so I won't constantly be trying to over-throw you and gain power myself. Please consider my submission.

With admiration and devotion and other flatteries,

Maybe because you have a giant turtle (that looks like he's been eating special jellyfish) as your profile picture.
