There are some really good Talkbass usernames, but this one just struck me as being exceptional: "BenitoBassolini".

It is not only funny, but the owner is only 16 - what a sense of history! For those of you who don't recall, Benito Mussolini was the Italian Prime Minister/dictator from 1922 until 1943. He sided with Hitler, was ultimately deposed, was finally caught trying to escape his own countrymen disguised as a woman, and was shortly thereafter unceremoniously hung and ceremoniously hung upside down in the town square.

Getting back on topic - are there any other nominees for best username?

MAJOR METAL :bassist:

MysticBoo gets my vote.

PastorofMuppets.

/thread.

Ox.

I vote myself...

jonathanmatos5

Dirk Diggler

jonathanmatos5

forgot the underscore, narcissist

MAJOR METAL :bassist:

I always liked Major Metal as well.

I think apocalypsofacto is a good one. Very creative.

Valerus gets my vote for most nightmare-inducing avatar, though.

You have Franklin nightmares? :eek:

forgot the underscore, narcissist

i dont always use an underscore...






oh well, it doesn't make me any less awesome :D

My favorite is Dr. Cheese and Pastor of Muppets a close second. Fenderhutz is cool too. Oh, I just saw the name Mellow Bedwetter. Got a laugh from that one.

I wondered if that was Franklin. Good one!

I've always been a fan of Ohthepeacock.

firkinahsoul

I wondered if that was Franklin. Good one!

hehe, well you're correct sir.

Probably me.

Seeing as it does mean "Very awesome" to anyone outside of Boston.

I think apocalypsofacto is a good one. Very creative.

+1

I vote for myself

Fiddlenutz

I'm not hip on ventriloquism culture, so I didn't know if there was more than one, or if Franklin was some kind of inside ventriloquist joke. That show was so full of subtle jokes. Too bad it's gone.

Pastor of Muppets has my vote so far.

I vote myself...

I might be willing to concede "best posts" to you, Fassa. I'm still laughing over your "spot" thread.

Pastor of Muppets had me cracking up when I first read it. It has my vote.

I think my username is pretty good, but then, I'm not exactly impartial :smug:

pastor of muppets is good (das der wiener ist ja? oder?)

capnsandwich (well i love sammiches)

munjibunga is funny as well

oh yeah this may be cheesy but i always liked jenderfazz's name

how could i forget asshat.....i love that word.....

I miss seeing 'poop loops' name here & there...
For a good chuckle, dig throught the members' list. LOTS of funny names.

It took me like 4 months to realize that Atoz was "A" to "Z" for so long I was thinking "jeez what an idiot, what the hell is an atoz"

I vote for Atoz

It took me like 4 months to realize that Atoz was "A" to "Z" for so long I was thinking "jeez what an idiot, what the hell is an atoz"

I vote for Atoz

+100

I Have to nominate Munjibunga for this, it helps he has a great avatar to go with it and always comes across as a real nice chap whenever I see him post on here!

I'd Have to put Pastor Of Muppets as a close second as well, just for the clever twisting of the name of a classic metal album into something equally meaningful.

It took me like 4 months to realize that Atoz was "A" to "Z" for so long I was thinking "jeez what an idiot, what the hell is an atoz"

I vote for Atoz

Not quite, Atoz was the name of a librarian from star trek. Mind you, that was a play on words but it's pronounced how it looks, not Ay-two-zee.

Still cool though.

I would vote for pastor but I saw that name ages ago for the Metallica font on 1001 free fonts.

Maybe I'm picky but I enjoy origional name. I dont think i have a favourite to be honest.

I'll give surprise panda a tip of the hat.

Thats a pretty snazzy name.

What a hawt $_ _t :D

franklin rocks. arrested development is the funniest show ever.

my vote goes to pastor of muppets.

I like Optimus Prime.

Dirk Diggler

I second the Diggler

'Passin Wind' always kills me. 'I suck at bass' is a close second.

Me too...

jenderfazz is pretty good

Munji has to win.

I always liked Major Metal :)

Although there are many other good ones.

I also vote for Pastor of Muppets. :)

Basshole.

well, its not from talkbass, but on Bassic.ch someones nickname is Draht Vader, "draht" means "wire" one german, wich is also used for bass strings... so "draht vader" gets my vote.

:eek: Who has this kind of information? :eek:

Pastor of Muppets! +1

i cant believe no one has mentioned

bassteban

<hijack>I nominate myself for worst - I have used tonedeaf as a screen name for a lot of stuff over the years based on sort of an inside joke, but I wasn't thinking clearly on talkbass screen name picking day, and shortly afterward I realized it could be a liability in a musicians forum</hijack>

Pastor of Muppets has always been one of my favorites

I_got_a_mohawk might not be the best, but it makes me chuckle every time I see it.

MYSTIC BOO! And his avatar.

what about beyond hairy? i haven't seen him post in a while, although i haven't been too active on the forums over the last few months. that's the one name that makes me laugh every time though.

i cant believe no one has mentioned

I really like some of the accurately descriptive ones like txsbsschik(sorry if'n I misspelled it, Cherie :cool:), who BTW seems to post in a distinct Texas drawl. :D
Then there's machine gewehr- isn't that German for machine gun?
I also like bassksun; not sure just why, but who cares? :)

I vote me.

Because I suck at life,

Wow... a thread about me?! Did I win anything? *hopes for a new amp...*

rickenboogie
bassesteban
fingeringam

Mrs. Bassteban & I agree that this spelling is a bit more descriptive. :D

Valerus gets my vote for most nightmare-inducing avatar, though.

I'm thinkin' capnsandwiches might be a tad creepier actually!

Yikes! haha

...are there any other nominees for best username?

I think mine's pretty good.

I like 'NewGuy' because he's been signed up for two years, don't think he thought that name through carefully...

I laugh at FingeringAm each time.

I laugh at FingeringAm each time.


My goodness I never really read that until now, even though I have seen the name.

Yes. That wins, hands down.

I nominate me, because according to my name I am god. :D

I know this isn't part of it, but for best sig, I nominate steve21. What a great idea!

My goodness I never really read that until now, even though I have seen the name.

Yes. That wins, hands down.

Upon actually saying fingeringAm's name and getting the joke I rescind my former vote and recast it for fingeringAm.

What's so creepy about being a captain of sandwiches? Who doesn't like sandwiches? And I'm the captain!!!:D

What's so creepy about being a captain of sandwiches? Who doesn't like sandwiches? And I'm the captain!!!:D

I vote for me: Rudyboy just sounds good!

R...

AHOY!!!

I'll nominate my self :ninja:

mine is kinda lame, its my last name....

+1 on fingeringAm, totally badass, Boo is close second :D

Ive never seen fingeringAm, but its hilarious. Suprise Panda still makes me chuckle after all these monthes. Just the Suprise! Panda!, and then the baby picture is priceless.

Heres a vote for the Surprise Panda.

I like Major Metal and Capnsandwich because their avatars are (IMO) so jarring. Especially sandwich, because he always seems to find a creepier pic Dick Simmons- I dare you to look at post #84 and not laugh.

But if it's by name only I'm going with Bassteban. In my mind's eye he looks just like Esteban, black silk suit with the hat and sunglasses, but with a bass. He should get a gig selling SX starter packs on late night infomercials!

thanks for the love guys:spit:

bassteban

bassteban gets my vote. Always got a chuckle out of that one. And FingeringAm is pretty awesome, too.

I'm guessing Surprise Panda comes from that Sneezing Panda video?

That's it. I gotta get a good avatar. It's the only thing stopping me in my plan of total world domination via craptastic bass infomercials! Bwahaha...

Sombody photoshop a bass into his hands!

Pastor of Muppets, no question.

And I don't get what's so good about bassteban...
someone enlighten me :)

I like Bassmonkee coz his avatar is a pweddy liddle kiddy! <3

Upon actually saying fingeringAm's name and getting the joke I rescind my former vote and recast it for fingeringAm.

Duh ... I'm usually not so dull witted, but at the risk of embarassing myself, probably for all eternity, would somebody P L E A S E explain the joke in "fingeringAm"? :hmm:

+1 Pastor of Muppets.

I nominate myself. 'Nuff said. :D

Yours kinda reminds me of that of that Internet Slogan "All Your Base Belongs to Us"......i've seen it a bunch, but have no clue how that originated....

MLF

Pastor of Muppets is cool, but it is a word font, so he may not of created it.


My vote goes to Major Metal.

I've always wondered what it meant.

Yea but only because he failed to spell surprise correctly :P Thats what makes me laugh every time I see him post.

Pastor of Muppets gets my vote. I actually laughed out loud when i saw that. :)

Wait, I don't get Bassteban??

I've always liked Pastor of Muppets too.

Wait, I don't get Bassteban??

It's a play on the name Esteban. Like that late night infomercial acoustic guitarist.

fingeringAm so gets my vote lol first i though it ment fingering ameture or h/e you spell it but then i got it a bit later

Pastor of Muppets or Munji get my vote, or my own *points up*

Pantsman- that's pretty good. Do you have any superpowers? If so, I'd write it like this: PANTSMAN.
Perhaps you like to 'pants' people. Still cool. :cool:

I am a two-sided superhero, my good side is pantsman who has no special powers. However when I am drunk I transform into Johnny Pantsless, who was whatever powers he believes he has!!!
