My Eyes and Brain Don't Work In Tandem

King_Williamson Permalink
King_Williamson This has been happening to me for a while now. It seems as though, while I'm on .net, my brain and eyes tend to jumble usernames. I don't know if it's because I read them too fast and don't analyze it all correctly. The problem? Now I see the username, and I've changed them in my mind even though I know they're incorrect from what my eyes are seeing. Examples:

@johnnyd = johnny5

@joonze = junes (I believe this one is common)

@bostonron = bosstron

....and finally:

@the_Crested_Hogchoker = the_Crested_Hodgecocker

My brain sucks. Maybe it's the holiday break? Maybe I'm slowly slipping into senility? Yep, senility. That's my self-diagnosis. I wish I could attribute it to a substance, because at least it would be semi-understandable. Lulz.

King_Williamson At least now I don't feel bad for reading your username incorrectly the first few times. I will call you @bosstron regardless now that I know you feel it's boss. Whew! Thought I might get a little flamed for playing word jumble with you guys' usernames.

If you did have to change it, johnny5 would be a suitable replacement. I am looking forward to the avatar changes though. Who gets to pick those again?
