On my old computer my sign in name was butt head, in french, take out the butt to what a dog does in your yard, ( You can Translate) my name , I haven't played on it and will sign out on it when I think of another one or let it go. so since some complained about language I never played on that name ,West Tennessee,
Jezzbelle, I don't know which specific games you are referring to or I could look and perhaps give you a better answer. I just play and hope for the best. On that note spider is my favourite game with 40 thieves a close second. I like trying to solve hard puzzles quickly.
haha.. so cool .. I was often wondering this ...so cool to read the comments ..I am called Martyna (polish for Martina) and a friend from Gambia always called me tynatyna .. so I just took this one without much thinking
drz400 - is a Yamaha dirt/road legal motorcycle that is sitting in my garage waiting to get fixed and ridden, yet here I am, wasting time on this addicting web site! (By the way "david", thankyou, this site blows away any other gaming site!) WA state. 59 yrs
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone....or St. Paddy's Day as I've been told is proper. I'm surprised the cards aren't green. You're slipping, David
Any 'Irish" log-in names out there?
I hadn't played Addiction in a while...but played this morning and realized it was 'fivespings' who was whooping me game after. It must be a cousin to Springrain
User names are fun. The longest ones I used were a poem on April Fools Day 2012, when the card colors were reversed: https://blog.greenfelt.net/2012/04/02/april-fools-pranks/
I also registered some 40 bird names: https://forum.greenfelt.net/discussion/comment/2380/#Comment_2380
David in his reply to this, noticed that I had registered Hamlet's speech from Shakespeare under multiple user names:
tobeo, rnott, obeth, isthe, question?, whethe, rtisn, obler, mindtos, uffe, slings.
I played against the infamous 3bc, with user names like 3b-on-holiday-yippee.
This is the best site by far for card playing on the internet. A big thank you to David and Jim.
And here I assumed that David's real name was Jim, but his Greenfelt partner got in first and snagged it!
Fnarf is a nickname I was given forty years ago. It means nothing. People in the UK often write "fnar, fnar" to indicate sniggering, wheezing laughter, but I didn't know that until decades later.
Hi Fnarf.In my all my 78 years I have never heard that term used in the UK,even in University.It's a first for me.Anyone else aware of it?In the meantime enjoy your game and I wish you well.Play on.
Hi graeme. Yes, I’m aware of the term ‘fnar’ as a representation of a guffaw type laugh, sometimes used to denote a sarcastic manner. I’ve seen it most often on comment threads usually underneath opinion pieces in UK newspapers. So as an expression it’s probably gained popularity as a written laugh when emojis aren’t available.
Hello Braxton92 to Silver Hawk I am an old slow player. I nearly always check to see if you are playing. Silver Hawk is an easy name for an old player to find and check time & score against. You are almost always higher and faster than I am. That is ok because this is just a fun game for me. Must of the names that I see on Forty Thieves are probably very special to them, but are very hard for me to remember . Thanks Again to Silver Hawk

Gameguy, yes you’re correct about the origins of my name.
Thanks, Jezzbelle!

Am positive. No one playing on here is related to me.

I have to admit ... I had Fnarf in mind when I initially posted the question. I learn something new every day.
Thanks for responding.
