BME

Big Mean Elf, the membername of a TMP reader whose poor behavior made him legendary. (He subsequently reformed and was allowed to return under a different membername, but has since been banished again for misbehavior.)

A character in childrens literature used to scare them into behaving. See "BME and the 3 Sculpts", "BME goes to the Dawghause Parts 1-25", and "Mommy where does my potty go when I flush?"
