Essentially, I want us to sound like cavemen.

I'll start:

HomesliceAbe was playing Mario kart and HomesliceAbe's dad couldn't think of name of one of courses (HomesliceAbe thinks name was "Moonview Highway?). HomesliceAbe's dad called course "Homeslice Highway" and HomesliceAbe thought new name was hilarious. Also, HomesliceAbe is big fan of Abraham Lincoln.

Numbers after iamtrashman1312 name follow 1=A format. iamtrashman1312 dislike police, adopt certain phrase numerical parallel for name. Words just line from meme always make iamtrashman1312 laugh.

[โ€“] zloubida@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Randomly typed letters made Zloubida think of some famous (and ridiculous) French song, thus Zloubida thought fun to choose this word as user name.

IRC nicks were max'd at 8 characters and listed alphabetically. Given that dogs are no-go!, to choose name that made full use was simple.

Edit: See some fails in this thread.

Name is Brent, pals screwing around. Pal takes Mr. Krabs quote, "sponge boy bob", puts name in, "brent boy bob." Abbreviates to bbmb, "m" is pronoun.
