I'll sometimes use "Craig Blair" when placing fancy beverage orders and whatnot because it's the most boring name I can think of.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 12:25pmThe "John Purvis" thing from the "I'm Floored" thread has got me curious: Do y'all have a fake name that you regularly use?

I do like that one a lot, mainly because the "Bob" sticks out so oddly. But Johnny Diablo just speeds off the tongue, like he could be selling anything from Yugos to waterbeds.

My team name for Futurama trivia last month was Billy "Pacific North" West, if that counts. I competed solo so it was kind of just my name.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I tied for 6th out of 30 teams (6 points away from the winner). Not as good as I was hoping, but could have been much worse. The ones I missed were almost completely from the episodes that I hadn't had time to bone up on before the event. The one I was really pissed about was which wrist Leela's device is on. I should have remembered "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back" for that one because it's very obvious, but they were going kind of fast and I couldn't think of it in time.
