"Captain Kneepad Tiki" is a good example of tiki obsession while naming yourself. I mean, this new guy is probably a pretty cool cat, but was it really necessary to put "Tiki" in the name?

"Captain Kneepads" would have been cooler and funnier, IMO.

Honestly I hate to use someone as an example, I hate to single people out. But I've noticed alot of new members using tiki in the name and it flows pretty good, but some just don't. Just because it's a tiki board doesn't mean you HAVE to use the word tiki in your handle.

Names such as johntiki, Tiki_Chris, etc. work great together, but I just don't think "Captain Kneepad Tiki" flow well when I say it.

Ok now to poke fun at myself, well more my user name. I am a John, a John David to be exact. But I was called that because my father is John Sr. But my misspelling of the word "uncle", actually didn't come from my bad habit of misspelling. It came from a joke this guy I knew from a sci-fi club back in the day. And well it stuck, and I started using it to sign my art with. And thus the tale of Unkle John.
