Clever players' names

We spend plenty of time and energy complaining about offensive player names. Instead today I'd like to acknowledge a couple of amusing ones I have come across recently in Freecell.

The first is @MissPentiuth. Read that as: "misspent youth." Clever, eh?

My favorite recently has been @tiercedepicardy. I had to look it up. The Wikipedia entry on "picardy third," for which Tierce de Picardy and Picardy cadence are alternate forms, defines it as a musical convention in which a minor-key or modal passage ends on a major third, as a form of resolution or "happy ending." It has been in use for centuries and examples abound from Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven to the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Turtles.
