Online Poker Screen Names 4

When you sign up to play poker at an online casino, you pick a screen name that other players see when you sit at a table. Here are some names I've played against. Players in red are losers in games I've played; green are winners. My databases are getting too big, so I don't have this detail for everyone now.

Poo: very popular in this data collection period.

  • PokerPoopy - this guy sat out for a few hands after typing "brb gotta go poo"
  • poosnack
  • SittininPoop
  • poomachine

Sexual/Vulgarity:

  • AssSpanker - My first hand against him I had AA vs his KK. I guess I spanked his ass.
  • Owning_Balls -
  • fulltit_com - FullTilt.com is a poker website. I can guess what kind of website fulltit.com is


Funny References:

  • demimoore - This is funny not because Demi Moore is particularly amusing, but because its funny that anyone would pick her for a poker screen name.
  • JIMMYFALO -This is funny because Jimmy Fallon is pretty funny, AND because its funny that anyone would pick him for a poker screen name.
  • TutanComeOn - When I saw the name "KhanhAir" I wrote the following: This is one of two things. Best case is that this guy's name is Khanh, or he's somehow affiliated with something named Khanh. In that case, he decided to come up with a play on words and related his name to the name of the movie "Con Air." That's like when my friend Erm had the IM screenname "ErmNHammer." I understand the pun and all, but couldn't you have come up with something cooler than baking soda or a crappy movie? (Yes, Con Air is on my honorary mention Badass Movies list, but I'm trying to make a point.) So that's the "good" case. The worse case is that this guy is in no way associated with the name Khanh at all, and he just thought he'd come up with an alternate spelling for Con Air. That would be really really weird. Well clearly this guy isn't the legendary King Tut (Egyptian King Tutankhamun), so this is a worst case scenario.
  • thebigsalad - Seinfeld reference, Elaine's meal choice
  • MrVanDeLay - Seinfeld reference, George's standard fake name was Art Vandelay


Weird:

  • SubHmanRetrd - This guy is kind of hard on himself
  • catpig - When I found out there was a real children's show called "Catdog" I was amazed at the simple stupidity of combining those 2 animals. I probably was drunk, but its still kinda funny. Catpig. Funny.
  • Chunky_LuvR - Big people play poker when they aren't busy making love.
  • brues - I like this name because of its ambiguity. Is it supposed to be an alternate spelling of Bruce? Bruise? Brews? Is brue a word? So many possibilities... yeah I stopped caring.

Drugs:
  • ISmokeMeth - me too.

Reader Submission:
  • PubesOnSoap - My first reader submission, this delightful name came from Erm, who saw it on Paradise.
