Long Names
« on: June 08, 2004, 07:34:10 PM »
So, I look down, and think 'Wow, there are a lot of people on the board.'

Then I realze there really aren't all that many people here--you people all just have fairly long nicknames.  Those aren't names, people--they're phrases.

Of course, I suppose we should be glad that MoD didn't call herself 'Justbecausehesevildoesntmeanyoucantadmirehimfromadistance....'

(Inside joke.)

And here I thought you were trying to quote yourself.

My name is short and seductive.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I prefer both a name, Gorgon, and a title, the Wonder Cow.  So I don't have a long name, blame the title.

He's only biased because his nick is just 4 letters.

If he typed out "Evil Undead Overlord", then he'd be just as long.
