Still? After all that debate? It's like those people who are determined to get a sex change.

^^^ Exactly

Hold on! It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

^ yep. I change it up every so often. Already had Chet Baker, Micky Dora, Steve McQueen, etc. I'm basically a 20th century cat.

I wanted to kind of poke fun at them for choosing names like that so I tried to find a ridiculous non-threatening name that was mildly marsupialed. So I chose ExtremeCelery. And over the years I still use it for forums obviously and I just shortened it to Celery.

Ha! Odd how that relates to mine.

I got mine from making a character on a old video game about 10 years ago. The character was named "Irritated Onion", based primarily for the same reason you did. Funny we both ended up with vegetables for user names.

It's hard out here for a pimp.

Fortunately I got away with the entire national gold reserves, art collection and crown jewels.

Micky Dora! I wonder how many people would even know who "Da Cat" was.

I have sometimes wanted to change my name to FableKing or to KitonBaloney just for a brief little mischief and then back.

In the species **** sapiens, progenitors commonly provide a vocal utterance for their offspring to be used socially as an identifier distinct from other humans.

Mine is Ken. My mom got it off a Barbie box.

 

[Dedalus]

Because Sisyphus was taken:

It was common for Greeks to trace their ancestry back to a "patron" god. For example, physicians would ordinarily claim Asclepius, the god of healing, as their ultimate ancestor. In Plato's texts, Socrates draws a connection between his father's profession as a stone-worker and the most famous of the Greek sculptors, Daedalus. Daedalus, though not a god, was supposedly descended from Hephaestus, and, through him, descended from Zeus. Daedalus is credited with revolutionizing the art form of sculpture by "freeing" the arms and legs from the sides of his statues. This added an element of reality and undoubtedly contributed to the notion that they were alive and moving.

A Joyce avatar seemed fitting and added another layer of allusion.
