Posting this here since we don't seem to have a "Lounge" / "Off-Topic" channel.

This forum has some of the best usernames.

EX - Every time I see posts from @ElectricShitbox I LOL for a good 15 seconds.

It is so good, I call our little old 2009 Vibe the ICEShitbox.

I had a Mustang repainted circa 2015 and bought a set of these - my builder refused to put them on his custom paintjob... lol

Wanna buy a Spark EV with like 20 miles of range? Lol.

@Supernintendo Chalmers is a pretty solid name too, haha.

I can only imagine the nightmare story here.... A quick search near me shows half a dozen for sale for 5 grand.

They're a great little car, very fun to drive, almost no parts support from GM. The 2014s with an LFP battery seem to hold up, the 2015s and 2016s with NMC batteries do not. It's just such a tiny battery that gets cycled hard. A refurbished replacement battery costs as much as a good used Bolt.

Hey, it's simple, consistent, and functional. Slatelike. 👍

Mine came into play circa 1997 when the Sci-Fi channel website had this cool widget called "Caption This" where viewers could make witty comments against an every-6-seconds image from the live stream of current on-air programming. It was inspired by Mystery Science Theater 3000, so naturally I chose one of the more memorable characters from one of their interstitial bits before the movie as my username on their forums... It was buggy, it suffered from terrible lag (I mean - 9800 baud modems meant you were rich in those days) but it was outrageously fun at times.

While it's from a time when the screen captures weren't too common, you can still see the interface thanks to the Internet Archive's captures of MST3k.com. It doesn't really show the rolling comments that made it fun tho....

While that (as well as any decent programming on that channel) are long gone, I continue to use the name today wherever it's allowed, and my eBay account with the same name is approaching 30 years old....

Sorry about your mouth. I wish you more mashed potatoes.

I started using this handle a few decades ago when I was having a lot of dental work done. One weekend I was at a recreation park & at the picnic table next to me was a large family of mostly adults. Everybody from teenage & older were sporting permanent body-art, & everyone 30's & older were missing multiple to all of their front teeth.

I guess they valued time in the tattoo artist's chair over time in a dentist's chair. I started thinking about Toothless with Tattoos as a handle, then condensed it to its current form.

BTW, I have a fully populated mouth, but some of them are implants.
