Sad User Name Sauce

Hello opinion sauce! I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this blog to finally get started. . . . Well I probably could but I'm lazy.

I've thought long and hard about what to make as my all important opening post. Should it be political, scientific, theological or about how much I dislike the yankees and all teams from pennsylvania? Instead I decided, as you can tell from the title, to be informational. Kinda like a public service announcement for others considering joining this blog. I want to talk about the all important user name.

Lets just take a minute and look at the user names for our contributors and the emotions and images those names bring about.

Mamabear: To me this name talks about a strong, beautiful and intelligent woman with strong ambitions and an iron will.  It doesn't at all make me think about a new mom at home whom I often catch taking cookies out of a jar that looks like Winnie the Pooh's honey pot.

The Tank: This name brings about visions of a strong man with arms heavily corded with muscles who could chew iron and spit out railroad spikes. Sure he would have no teeth left and would probably die a painful death from heavy metal poisoning but what a man!!!

Shhmikey: . . . . . . . . . . Honestly this just makes me hungry for any number of items you can get at a sheetz, but hey it makes you think of something.

Then finally we come to Erik. Sure it's spelled a different way then most with that name, but in the end it is simply that . . . .  a name. One would think with all the endless possibilities out there, not to mention the creative mind of the person who's name this is, that they would have been able to come up with something. Something like FlyersSuck85 or VickLove69, but no . . . . . . .it's simply Erik.

So to all you out there who may one day be one of the privileged few to be allowed to post here please take a few minutes to come up with a name. Because here you can be whoever you want not just another Erik.
