13. You like the band?
Or is that just a movie reference. I really am not fond of my DU user name... but don't know what I would change it to. Prolly "IluvNader" just for the reactions.

17. Not sure exactly...
But I'd replace 'sad' with something stronger. May be 'GrievingEagle' or such. Gotta adjust for what the last 3 years did to the country and the world...

25. "Warp-Spasm"
It's the transformation that Cuchulain went through before battle in that Irish epic about the bull theft and I just think it's cool sounding. I also think it's a nice metaphor for how many of us have become more radical in our beliefs since darkness fell on America.

26. I have an alternate username "Mr. Guy".
I gave that nickname to one of my old teachers in high school, long story.

The password doesn't work, though. I'm sticking with my crappy handle for now.

27. Something without "mom" in the title
I think because being a mother has so dominated my life since I became one, something with 'mom' in the title was the first thing I thought of, but now I kind of regret it. I don't talk much about my momly stuff here, nor is it the only thing that makes me who I am. Someone once said I should be "populistbabe" instead, but I don't know. I might change my name, but then I have to think if I want to start all over again or not. Good question.

32. I did change mine.
I used to be dofus and since everyone mispronounces it (it's dohfus, not doofus") it seemed like a good idea.

If I change again, it will be to Duchess_of_Gadsden. A good friend calls me that. I used to live in Tucson, which is within the Gadsen Purchase.

35. I think I'm gonna change mine - any suggestions?
I mean, I'm not one of the longtime posters (compared to some with 5,000, 10,000, 15,000 + posts), but I'm not exactly "nu" anymore either.

I have no idea what I'll change it to at the moment. But when the right name hits me, I'll probably do it.

Maybe for new years.

I think you kinda used an old Leo Durocher quote and phrased it in to a positve inadvartenly that is, its a good sn btw, a lot more creative than mine lol, so what do you think of my ideas for sns, I really like CampGitmoCamper lol. Durocher said nice guys finish last, yours is left people finish first eh, its the same concept. Thats what I always though, :shrug: guess I was wrong.

47. I'm new, so I can't be attached
to my name, plus I have too few posts to covet the count. I do think I had been drinking when I signed up, and hadn't considered the possibility that folks might interpret my name as something sexual. I might change. Into what, I don't know.

48. Oh, there were a few
Thought "Pretzel Logic" would be kinda cool (play on Bush's pretzel fixation).

My original name was "Fighting Irish". But when I registered, I think I misspelled my email address. I got no response from DU. Irritated, I moved on.

A few weeks later, I registered as "RatTerrier" (named after the breed of dog I own). This attempt was successful. The rest is history.

49. TruthShark
Edited on Sat Dec-06-03 01:58 AM by KTM
From this British author Mil's web site and the article "Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About." Funny, funny stuff... but the page is AWFUL on the eyes.. unfortunately, he is so clever with words that you'll go blind reading rather than turn away.


"Margret jack-knifes from argument to argument, jigs direction randomly and erratically like a shoal of Argument Fish being followed by a Truth Shark."

What a great metaphor.
