Haddock's Eyes

[redbird]

It just occurred to me yesterday that it would be worth keeping a list of "names" I've used for this thing. And of course I forgot to save the draft list I made then.

If you can remember anything I used and haven't listed below, please leave a comment:

Firmness and Raisins
Muse of Helpful Information
Dances with Subtext
A Simulated Martian Analemma
Redbird
Edit/Additions: Macadamia Fudge Chinchilla (thanks, treadpath!)

The Ground State of Unobtainium
A Firefly Above the Clover
A Firefly Above the Cloud Layer
Listening Too Fast

Περιπατευω (yes, we've wandered out of both the English language and the Latin alphabet)
Nice, but nubbly
Rosy-Fingered Dusk
Sending Postcards to Reality (conversation with roadnotes and cattitude, probably won't last long)

Chic Assistant to the Assistant Sheep
A Maze of Twisty Passages, Self-Similar
But the trying was very revealing
An Ordinary Menhir Delivery-woman
Raised by Pandas (per papersky)
Cleaver of Looking at All Sides of the Question (my unitarian_jihad name is Meat Cleaver of Looking at All Sides of the Question, but there's a 50-character limit on LJ names).
[back to Raised by Pandas]
Gnome Daguerreotype
"Nairobi, ma'am. Isn't everybody?" (misia's username reminded me of a Firesign Theatre line).
Quotidian Questioner
Unitary Authority of Warrington Cat
An Emergent Property of Carbon
A Dark and Stormy Page
Reality Basis
Flying Squirrel Diva of the Jovian Moons (snagged from mrissa and scottjames
The At-Sign Liberation Front (from something cattitude said, about playing nethack)
Megatherium (but I'm keeping the trilobite userpic for now, not getting one to fit the new animal)
Watching the Okapi (the sloth didn't last long)
An Idiomatic Lime
Victory of Roses (the English for papersky's Greek combination of my given and family names)
Glacial Erratic (prompted by elisem's phrase "glacial erratics of the spirit"). This one lasted about 36 hours before I reverted to Victory of Roses.
A Dragonfly Dreaming She's a Dilettante
Little Latin and More Greek
Autopoietic (from "autopoiesis," a term I just ran across in The Science of Discworld, described as an out-of-date term for the ability of living things to reproduce. I'm fond of "ποιειω" ("make," and the root of "poet") anyhow.)
The Elf's Secret Weapon (from a reference on ML, by elisem, to having a "Sekrit Weapon" in getting baldanders moved to Rusk.
Counterexample to a Cliche (adrian_turtle and I were discussing me pointing out that I do not remember when I learned JFK had been shot, though I was alive when it happened, and I remarked that I had liked being a counterexample to a cliche. Perfect tense because I haven't heard that "everyone remembers" wrt that event in some years now.)
Killer Petunia (from news stories that many plants, including petunias and potatoes, are mildly but actively carnivorous)
A Wandering Hobbit (just got tired of the petunia; am mostly out of the habit of changing these)
