We kept that for a few years until the neighbor moved, I believe

My last one was 'Insert WiFi Pun Here' because I couldn't think of a good one in the spot.
When I was living in an apartment complex for students, I saw "secret batcave wlan", so I changed mine to "wayne manor guests"
My network name used to be: DoYouKnowWhyIAmFat? Password: EverytimeIFuckYoMomSheGivesMeACookie#2024

One of my neighbors is The_Booty_Warrior. My hypothesis is that's the pear-shaped Army chick that lives across the street, but it might be the balding middle aged family man two doors down.
