We had a serious discussion on the Shoutbox yesterday about how we are identified as musicians/people in Wikiloops. So I decided to make a list, all suggestions are welcomed, I will try to compile them into a list ;)

Starting with these (not all are my suggestions, by the way):

Loopsies
Loopinians
Wikiloonians
Loopeople
Loopies
Loopsidaisies
Loopimple
Loopimp
Wikipox
Wikipeeps
Wikiloopsians
Loopisian
LoopLoop,
LoopsMus
Superloopers
Quickiewikis
Loopers + Looperettes
Homo Spiralis
Stormlooper
Pooper Looper - this one is exclusive for Sir Ernie
SuperDuperLoopers
Lupins

Go on :)

I`ve always used the term Loopies, but now that you mention it, how about

Loopisian (my favorite),
LoopLoop,
LoopsMus,

I am fine with every term on the list, but I absolutly refuse to be called a WikiPeep. Anybody uses that term for me I`ll think up new ways of using bass strings as permanent piercings on sensitive body parts.

I think the currently used terminology is "loopers" but I see no objection in using Quickiewikis instead ;)

Homo Spiralis = Spiral Human (I think "spiral" here is used as a word that reminds of a "loop"?)

We need to see this in context, so...

"Pooper, just killed a man, put a bass against his head, cut the strings and now he's dead" doesn't really do it for me.
While
"Superlooper, beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you" could be a good fit.

I was going to suggest Loopinata but it sounds more like an italian dish.

Now this is getting silly, so many loops...
I think you're all FRUIT LOOPS trying to fill a non-existent Loophole.

I'm starting to droop
It's time to regroup

Don't be nincompoops
Jumping through hoops

We are what we are
So don't go too far
We're just happy jammers from wikiloops

Limerick ? Well let's do it properly then

There once was a guy called TeeGee
Who wondered what looper he'd be
He wanted suggestions
to answer his questions
But it got out of hand Teeheehee!

We have to add "Loopimp" to the mix, I can't remember if it was Ernie or someone else, but it made me laugh. Now every time I hear Ernie play, in my mind I see a mix of Bootsy Collins / Al Bundy playing bass. I wish Don T was still alive, he probably had some funny stuff to say about that.
