geekiest SN ever

[space cadet]

Hey guys, I need help thinking up the geekiest SN ever for a story I'm working on. The guy who uses it is a computer/electronics junkie. Any ideas?

SN

I've got an idea. Be considerate of your audience and define your jargon. Is SN screen name?

[Enzp]

Thank you for us old guys. To me SN means serial number.

May I suggest something backwards. Nothing says dweeb more than backwards stuff. There y'go, "beewd" Whatever you come up with, then make it backwards.

LinuxExMachina?
(anything involving Unix is automatically in the "geekiest ever" category)

BashMaster?

MegaPyxxxyl8.2?

Sertainly Not.

[space cadet]

these are good, but they should be something recognizable to a mainstream audience as well.

Ewok Hard for the Money

Oooh, or maybe Dungeons Und Dragons and he goes by DUD.



I never saw Lord of the RIngs or Harry Potter, but my sense is they are less geeky than Star Trek or Star Wars references. And everyone associates D&D with geek, but beyond the name we mostly know nothing about it.

Never hurts to include some sort of computer reference.

This gets my vote. :)

Ewok Hard for the Money

these are my favorites, but I fear they're too clever.

I find Harry Potter to be way too pop culture these days to be geeky, but, while practically everyone's seen the movies of LotR (it is, however, geeky to use the acronym . . . ), very few have read the books. heck, I haven't read the books, having been given special dispensation to stop after a mere 80 pages or so.

I think what you are asking for is a contradiction of terms. Anything recognizable to a mainstream audience by definition can not be very geeky.

[tracer]

I've got a good idea for a geeky screen name:

How about space cadet?

Yup, and I guess we are just too geeky.

But really, it isn't just the mainstream audience issue - there are so many geek subcultures. Young computer geeks, old computer geeks (Vax, anyone?) and some are into anime, Star Trek, Star Wars, Monty Python, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc.

*sigh* Mundanes probably wouldn't even get the joke in something as obvious as "Red Blooded Vulcan."

:lol: My mom's confused by that.

What about "DigitalTrekkie"?

Space Cadet is no longer recongizable to a mainstream audience...

I liked Ewok HArd for the Money too. It isn't geeky, I just couldn't resist. My wife hit me when I told that one to her.

[mickal555]

add 1.0 to whatever you come up with :D

[Andromeda321]

... unless he's Junior, in that case you need to tack on a 2.0! :D

[Enzp]

Or if he spends too much time online eating Twinkies - 2.4

sure it is, now that there's a Duck Dodgers cartoon available weekly!

[space cadet]

Really? You mean space cadet is a cartoon character? Dang, and here I thought I was being original. :P

Porky Pig is the "Eager Young Space Cadet." I watched an episode or two of Duck Dodgers, but it is a little too "young" for me, although they do have some inside jokes here and there and the voices are great.

Of course, there is also the book "Space Cadet" by Robert Heinlein - which is what I think of when I see your name. And "Tom Corbett, Space Cadet" but I only know about that by reference, I never saw it.

[Enzp]

I loved Tom Corbett - Space Cadet. Though my fave was Captain Video. The Space Patrol was another. A lot of my friends liked Captain Midnight, but I never got into it. All those were popular kids adventure shows in the 1950s. Roughly equivalent to Power Rangers or something today.

They were little half hour action dramas based on space ships.

It was many years later the term space cadet started to mean someone whose though process was not very sophisticated.
