5. I feel your frustration
Groping in the gmail darkness for a really cool username can be tedious and unrewarding. I know you're searching for a username that will make people stand up, take notice, and shout "what an asshole" (I suppose "what_an_asshole" is not available)

So, have you found your gmail ID yet?

:hi:

6. I wanted a really boring name, I was looking for "easytoremember@gmail"
I figured that would be taken but the more creative I got, I started to get pretty frustrated as you pointed out, that everything was taken.

so I thought, HMMM, if these really gross, outrageous names are taken I can quit wasting my time because if those are taken then everything else will be taken.

7. The gross names are probably the first to go
being snapped up by middle-schoolers worldwide. Maybe [email protected] is still available.

11. That's not easy to remember but thanks for the suggestion.
Did he say mockernut hickory? Pignut hickory?
Did it have a dot or an underscore or nothing at all?

See what I mean?

9. Only time I ever got a gmail was from an online company that scammed me, so I blocked their domain.

15. Yeah, maybe they have a whole department for this
where every staff meeting is a brainstorming session

"FartSniffer"

Sweet, yeah, good one

"PuppyKiller"

Yeah, baby, go

And they get paid for this.

:rofl:

er, wait, where do I sign up?
