For those of you new to the forums, us regular forum-goers like to mix things up and bit and try to be clever with our nicknames around the holidays.
http://www.timewastersguide.com/forum/index.php?topic=11.0 (last post info).
Spriggan usually has a Christmas name contest (http://www.timewastersguide.com/forum/index.php?board=24.0) every year, where people vote and the winner gets an award.
And while I know it's too late really to have a Halloween contest, I came up with a good one this year, I think! (Christmas always stumps me... dunno why)
-
You know Ness I didn't even realize that you could alter you handle. That is very cool. I may try to come up with a witty name for halloween even though it is so close, it should be fun ;D
-
Hey, this is cool!
-
You know I can't see why we couldn't include Halloween, thanksgiving in the Holiday award. I'll have to figure out how we want to keep track of the older names as we get closer to to December or we can just have a Halloween one in addition to the Christmas Hanuka Kwanzaa time.
I'm fine with either.
-
That's 'Christmanuzaa'. ;)
I really like the idea of the name contest...I think I have a tough one to work with though....

I'm thinking one award for a name you're currently using, it's too much trouble to remember past names. Just one at Christmas would be fine, I'm thinking.
-

I think this new name of mine is much better than "Lord Chaos" for the Halloween spirit.

ah, but the way I understand it is to make it so people can still recognize you. Without the profile pic I would've had no idea it was you; you know everyone ignores the numbers :P
-
That just means I have the ability for more subterfuge, something others don't get :P
Though, Nessa's name of WickedNess is quite frankly the most awesome holiday name change possible. Someone should make her a trophy. It's THAT good.

Brownie Points for you!
Of course, you can't really use those points for anything, and they are just in my head but still.
-
Unfortunately, my name doesn't lend itself to truly exquisite adaptation terribly well. Or maybe I'm just not creative.

Well, you could try to make another field like Fell Points, only Brownie Points.

That name is far superior to "Lord Chaos". At least yours is Halloween-y.
-
You do realize that "The Jade Fright" is not my normal username?
-
Yeah, your original name is Jade Knight. You did well with this Halloween one, but Christmas... that will be a challenge.
-
I changed my name already...i think you all know what it means...
-

lol we still haven't seen any pictures, you won't get out of it that easily :P :P
-
Where will the holiday name poll be posted and when will voting start? Will we do one for Thanksgiving and a separate for Christmas?
-
I believe, historically, there's only been one for Christmas. But we have fun every season, all the same.
-
Reaves already said he liked me better Green and not Mean. Now I have townspeople with pitchforks and torches outside my house everynight at dusk.
-
The only thing I could come up for mind was too silly, and I couldn't find a good representative picture. If I can locate or make something interesting I will change it.
-
We have to match our name WITH our avatar? :o
blast.....
-

Rofl. No. You don't HAVE to. It's just an added bonus of frivolity.
-
I am an all or nothing kind of person. So when I go crazy, everyone knows beyond a shadow of a doubt =).
-
Hey Paper any reference to The Shredder is welcome in my book. Also now that I changed my name I dont even know if I will change it back until spring, I mean the redsox are done for the season. Maybe I'll think of something else idk.
-
I was looking for an interesting picture of an actual Paper Shredder and wandered by this and thought it was too beautiful. Usually if I can make myself laugh, I call it a win. Thanks for the kudos =).
-
As far as I recall, pictures have never counted for anything directly in the contests, so the picture, as Nessa points out, is purely optional. But lots of fun.
-
Ah, well. I do like good clean fun. But if I changed my avatar, it would take an inordinate amount of my time to find the old one again (even though I drew it and its on my website...somewhere).
Mostly though, I'm just plain lazy . :D
-
So after today do we change back to the old names? What do you all think?
-
Turkey day names are coming up.
-
Testing the new user name. Couldn't really think of anything too holiday related, was a pain trying to find a Thanksgiving food that started with a K lol.
-
Kettle Corn and Klondike Bar are the only others I could think of. You could be a rebel and spell cranberry with a K.
-
That's true, but then I'd have to find something for C. Well, Corn obviously, but I like CranberryCthulhu, it has a ring to it. ;) Plus Kiwi + Kefka is just a hilarious mental image for those familiar with the character.
-
Kefka and Monsta have come up with some interesting Turkey-Day names. Wish I could figure out something to do for myself. I am sure some random bit of insanity will hit me at the most random point in time.
-
Thanks for the notice buddy. there is still plenty of time and turkey day isnt an easy one. Im sure youll think of something
-
Yeah, Thanksgiving Day always kills me.
-
OK, I'm not trying to steal GreenMonsta's name. I just couldn't come up another kind of bean we have at Thanksgiving. :-\
-
I amuse myself more than I think is healthy somedays.
-
I amuse myself more than I think is healthy somedays.
Ah, but I like it! I actually laughed out loud!
-
Thank you =). It actually feels good to know that hilarity in going on in my own world does amuse others as well. And getting an actual Laugh Out Loud is probably one of the better comments I can think of.
The Green Bean Casserole is definitely a highlight for me at Thanksgiving. Is NecroCasserole to morbid for ya?
-
Is NecroCasserole to morbid for ya?
Nah, but I had thought the play of ben and bean was quite clever. So I just stuck with it. Hmm... maybe altogether?
-
The Ben/Bean is quite clever. Well played. :)
-
Paper that name is classic.
Necro how could you dare start your name with the color Green. I mean just because I dropped it for the holidays doesnt mean you can jump in my grave. . . . .
Kidding, your name is much more clever than mine and I like it. I also like the recognition when you made it. Thanks for the consideration guy.
-
Thank you =). Once again brilliance strikes in the shower.
-
My name just is not very good for Thanksgiving :( I'm stumped....
-
Gravy starts with a G.
-
I love the name MrPaperHandTurkey. That is up there with the best holiday names ever.
-
Wow that means a lot Mok. Thank you.
-
Louds of Gravy ;D
-
Ha! That is excellent you two!
-
Very nice addition Necro =).
Should we form a super hero group now or something?
-
Your superhero group would have to clash with my anti-holiday League of Slightly Less than Sane Evil Dudes. ;)
-
Your superhero group would have to clash with my anti-holiday League of Slightly Less than Sane Evil Dudes. ;)
That's quite a mouthfull! ;D
At MrPaperHandTurkey: I'm sure we could come up with something. I might be back on later if I make my word count goal tonight. Right now I have to give in to my ADD and fidget.
Your welcome Louds_of_Gravy. That's just part of my creative process. Worry one thing to death and everything else works its way out. Its too bad I can't execute when I want but them's the breaks.
-
A lot of good names this year... I guess I didn't much notice last year's thanksgiving names, but then again - that's when I was ghosting around on the boards. GreenNecroBeanCasserole, Mr. Paperhandturkey, and CranberryCthulu are all uber awesome.
Anyone got their Christmas names picked out yet?

I have a lot more time to prepare for the Christmas name than I did in thinking about a thanksgiving name. ;D
Hmmm... I'm going to have to dig deep into my repertoire. ;)
-
I think better if I don't force it. Will just declare it is time, and something will appear. Hopefully I don't disappoint.
-
I've been thinking over a couple of ideas, but I'm not quite decided yet
-
Yeah, I've got something mulling around, not yet fully formed in my head; not too sure if its any good though.
-
I am sure whatever happens we will all be amused by what happens =).
-
Wow... I'm really tired.
I read:
"I am sure whatever happens we will all be amused by what happens =)."
as:
"I am sure whatever happens will be amused by what happens =)."
Got a mental image of an occurance standing in front of a mirror laughing at itself...
-
AvalonCreamCorn: Haha! I hate it when that happens. Who gave 'em a mirror in the first place. ;D
This holiday name popped into my head: 3Niseben or maybe Necrobells_will_be_ringing.
What do y'all think?
-
Necrobells_will_be_ringing is AWESOME!
I was thinking something along the lines of ChristmasCthulhu Vs. KwaanzaKefka or something along those lines.
-
Necrobells does sound pretty awesome... What about Noelben?
I've been milling mine over, and the best I've got is SugarPlumDreamer (better than AvalonCreamCorn, anyways... lol).
I am wondering though: What adjective do you guys think Ness is going to use? I'm personally betting on Cheerful, but I don't claim to be as witty and cunning as a Mod. [obvious attempt at brownie points]
Jk. lol.
-
Ooh, I've just thought of a clever Christmas name. Yay!
-

Jk. lol.
Oooh thanks for the idea, there. I hadn't thought of that one.
In the past I've used PoiNessettia and Merry ChristNessa, but I need a new one this year. I don't get to enter the contest unless I use one I haven't before...
-
Necrobells definitely gets a thumbs up. Rather clever actually.
Chanukathulhu? A bit of a mouthful though. (Apparently I write puns without thinking)
-
To help those who might be having a little trouble, here is a list of things Christmas(y)
Jiggle bells
Tinsel
Trees
Gifts
Presents
Carols
Giving
Receiving
Wise men
Green and Red
Have an idea? Add it to the list. ;D
-
Eggnog
Mistletoe
Reindeer
Snowballs
Shovels
Plow
Boots
Ice
Tire Chains
Gloves
-

Awesome.
-
It doesn't have to just be a Christmas themed name, any December holiday will work.
-
SprigganOfMistletoe? *giggle* I'm sure that one's been used up, though.
-
Ahh I just thought of one for myself aswell.
Hows AbominableMonsta
-
Only if you promise to get dental work and help decorate a tree with some elves.
-
How about just helping the elves? I mean do I need dental work that bad? I dont really trust that quirky little blonde elf too much. He seems like he has a disorder or something.
-
Disorder is probably the most political way i have ever heard someone used to define a creepy person.
-
It's a little early, but, I might not have time later and I wanted to go ahead and use this nifty new name. This is about when the contest starts, right...? :-\
-
I like it. Officially christmas season starts the day after thanksgiving and seeing how many of us wont be posting tomorrow I dont see why we dont start now.
-
My girlfriend gave me great inspiration for a name, I just can't seem to get the sonorance correct. I almost feel like C.L. Dodgson with my list of titles I am weighing between.
Mr Bad WrappingPaper
Seņor Cheap
The whole point is to get to a picture of newspaper =). If anyone has any comments or suggestions I am all ears.
-
Ok, another uninspired holiday name for me.
CthulhuClaus, yeah it works. ;)
KefkaKarenga, Karenga was the last name of the guy who started Kwaanza. I guess I could have made it CthulhuChristmas vs. KefkaKwaanza, but I like having names in there. 8)
-
I actually like yours.
The only question is, should I add the word 'Warehouse' to the end of my name? Or is that just too much?
-
Have I ever used this one before? I can't remember.
-
I cant remeber either, so does it matter.
Its just a good name.
-

I don't know if it would be too much, but it certainly would be funny. :D

Ha ha I like it Ook! :)
EDIT
Managed to find a Cthulhu picture where he's dressed like Santa, so actually trying a picture/name combo this time. 8)
-
Hilarity Engaged!
-
Man, I'm going to have a heck of a time trying to come up with a holiday name to match any of those. My username really doesn't lend itself to any sort of name change.
-
ShoppingChaos
ToyChaos
a whole bunch of stuff like that wouold be easy.
-
Hmm. People often mangle the pronunciation of my name to Wreath, 'cause they're under the impression that it annoys me... I suppose ChristmasRaethe wouldn't make much sense without the inside joke though. And it's not particularly inventive either.
-
A couple Christmases ago I got a Chaos Toy (http://www.chaostoy.com/).
(http://www.chaostoy.com/images/index_22.jpg)
-
That is awesome! I totally want one now. Good Job =p.
-
Hmm....How's this for a name?
-
I like it =).
-
This is my hopefully clever name.
BTW, Chaos: What about Chaosmas?
-
So many awesome names, now I feel inadequate. :D
-
*flexes his holiday name muscles*
Boosh.
-
I now have a new holiday name. I need to figure out what holiday I can be "Sigyn in the Rain" for.

August 23rd
-
I live in Utah, and it doesn't rain here in August. Actually, it doesn't rain here much at all. It snows though. And for the summer it's usually horribly hot. Did I mention I don't like Utah weather?
-
I am sorry you don't like your weather =(. I feel rather blessed living in Flagstaff, the small bit of real weathered area in Arizona. Snowboarding season is soon upon us =).
Oh, that was Gene Kelly's Birthday
-
When does voting start for the 2008 Holiday Name contest? (If we are voting)
-
Poke Spriggin. He's usually in charge of it.
-
*poke*
-
Does this thread look like Spriggan to you?
-
Jade you are the man. I only wish my holiday names could be more original, with a name like GreenMonsta they always seem unimaginative.
-
I used to feel like that. I think I was "The Silent Knight" last year...
-
I've decided that Comatose is not christmasy in the least bit, and so Comatose the Happy Elf is born.
-
Ok folks here's the rules.
PM me with your favorite 3 names by the 27th, then I'll add up all the nominations and the top five will go on to a poll where everyone can vote once. I'll close the poll the 3rd of January.
-
When considering nominations, I didn't want to forget any names so I scanned through the forums and here's what I found (in alphabetical order). Please feel free to add any I've missed.
Abominable Monsta
Comatose the Happy Elf

-
Wow, I didn't realize there were so many elfish names, I'll have to come up with something new. It isnt too late is it?
EDIT:
Well, I changed it anyways. This one is far better. I hope I'm still in time.
-
That was a good change Coma. I like your new name a lot.
-
Nice change, Comatose. Revised list of names:
Abominable Monsta

-
SOOooooooooo....no vote eh?
-
More poking of Spriggan may be necessary. That's just how we do things here, you know. That and the occasional sharp elbow.
-
it's added, there are 6 because we had a 3-way tie for one of the slots.
Note: Only admins (and maybe mods) can see the results while the poll is open so if you can see the results don't spoil it--part of the fun is not knowing until the poll closes.
-
Wow! I was a good boy and didn't even nominate myself. No matter what happens, I really appreciate just being up there =).
-
This might be the first time I've made the final cut. I knew I'd picked a good name this time.
-
Ok so I had a little question. Now seeing how the holidays are now over and this vote concludes tonight, does this end the name changing? I for one will be changing my name again for St. Patricks day but that's not for over two months and I don't really plan on changing it for Valentines day next month. Plus after St Patricks day comes and goes it will be time for baseball season again and I wont have a problem going back to the old reliable GreenMonsta once again.
-
I do not celebrate Hallmark Holidays, but I do celebrate the most important one of the year. Bring on the Black and Tans!
-
Oh yes deffinetly the most important.
-
And you still want elves?
-
Good call.
-
Congratulations, Jade!
I think what I especially liked about your name, aside from its originality and appropriateness, was that it made me think of chess knights.
-
I didn't get to vote (I missed it) but if I had I would've voted for you, Chestknight. Very original.
-
Good for you Jade.
-
Is 'Jade' the same person as 'Chestknight?'
-
yep, it's Jade Knight
Congrat's Jade :)
-
Oh. Do most people have two names here?
-
Congrats Jade!
Thank you to my supporters!
-
Congrats Jade!
-
Congrats. :)
-
Oh. Do most people have two names here?
we had a silly name contest recently, so a lot of the names you see around the forum are only temporary. I've already changed mine back to normal, but some are still using their Christmas/Holiday names because of the contest.
-
Oh. Do most people have two names here?
Sort of. It's a tradition to change one's regular username (such as Jade Knight) into a holiday-appropriate version (such as The Roasting Chestknight). The goal is to come up with something clever and unique, but still recognizable to those who know you under your regular username.
EDIT: Loud G beat me to it.
-
Congrats, Jade! It's a good name. (Though I voted for Mr. Paper, myself. That name just made me laugh every time I saw it.)
I'm surprised Santooklaus got so many votes. Glad people liked it!
-
Oh, I see. Thanks.
-
I almost couldn't choose who to vote for. There were four on there that I loved. I ended up voting for Ook, simply because I remember when I first saw the name, I busted up laughing and said, "That is clever!"....
Anyway, Congrats, Jade. That win was well-deserved.
-
I must say, Santooklas was pretty clever.
-
Congrats, Jade! It's a good name. (Though I voted for Mr. Paper, myself. That name just made me laugh every time I saw it.)
I'm surprised Santooklaus got so many votes. Glad people liked it!
Thanks =). Was the only real goal I had.
I actually voted for you because I was immensely amused by the variation on your name. Very witty and clever.
-
Grats Jade. Awesome name!
-
So I need to make the award, to continue in the tradition Jade let me know what you want on it and I'll whip something up this weekend.
-
Did I ever get my award?
