Without using pronouns (me, he, she, it, etc) or articles (a, an, the), how did you come up with your user name? (lemmy.world)

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.

Owen had serialized dream many years ago in childhood times. New dream chapters kept releasing for many nights. Dream parts were spooky. Owen was scared there, but felt like pain and fear was deserved.

However, when Owen was being pulled back to very scary place from earlier season, Owen chose instead to fight. Creature tried to pull Owen down, but Owen planted feet and pulled against creature. Creature fell into last season's spooky place.

Panting, Owen spoke, "I've been down there."

Weird dream stopped returning. "I've been down there" turned out being series finale.

Years passed. Owen decided to make anagram of "I've been down there."

Owen failed: "Owen Ever Bind Thee" was closest Owen could come to good anagram. Owen got bored of scrambling letters. Chose Owen Everbinde and abandoned attempt at making anagram. Owen's leftover 'T' and 'H' and 'E' will never have home.
