Gromnir Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 1? why? am not contesting or competing. use... or don't. publius quintilius varus seems the mostest apropos but lit'l bunny fufu probably has best avatar options. HA! Good Fun! btw, we think it is probably foo foo instead o' fufu, but our way is more fun, no?

Cantousent Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 We can change our names together. If we're going to be Latinos, I think of myself as more of a Cicero. You can be Uerres. We'll be quite the pair.

Child of Flame Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Okay, if Crazy.Joe and Eru can change their names, why can't I? I was thinking of changing my name, kind of like I did my avatar (thanks Calax! you da man! ) Anyhow, what should my new name be? Feel free to poke fun at me. I might even go for a goofy or funny name. The winner receives an extra +500 T.O.M.B.S. points! So, be mean if you want. I hope you're not meanspirited, but if you are, at least be meanspirited in an appropriate fashion. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draken Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 In the sole intrest of raising my post count, I shall post my opinion on your new name yet again: Forumus Noobus.

Cantousent Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 Someone has to have a high opinion of me. Anyhow, someone has to be the Cicero of the forum. Do you suggest it's you? :Eldar's benevolent smile icon: I think Forumus Noobus sounds about right. It has that ol' time religion feel.

Cantousent Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 If this were baseball, you'd be both teams and the umpire, Gromnir. You're not only providing names, you're calling strikes and throwing wild pitches. Seriously, though, I take it you don't think I rate a Cicero? How about Nero?

Cantousent Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 If I'm meat, does that mean you want to grill me? I've always thought you had a hell of a fastball, Gromnir. If you just had more control, you'd make it in the Show. Still, you've given your suggestions for names. If you have more to pitch, please let me know. I'll take any pitch you can throw.

Gromnir Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 "If I'm meat, does that mean you want to grill me?" eldar, eldar... puns? " I'll take any pitch you can throw." any clown can stand in there and swing. nevertheless, this is familiar territory for eldar and Gromnir, and if it makes you feel better to think you is holding your own then we is happy for you indeed... 'cause then you will keep on swinging. in any event it is nice to see that the mod tag not prevent eldar from letting himself get caught up in this kinda nonsense... sorta reaffirms our faith in the human animal. HA! Good Fun! ps cicero? you cannot honestly be surprised that we would mock your attempt to compare self to cicero, can you? ... maybe Gromnir will start comparing self to mother teresa.

Cantousent Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 I can't keep it up. I was going to suggest that I rename myself "mother" since you'd taken the role of "petulant child." Seriously, though, I honestly thought that I would get some barbs from folks from the very beginning of the thread. Once you weighed in, I figured we could give a good show. I actually used Cicero so that I could call you Verres, but you never took the bait on that one.

Cantousent Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 I can't change my name anymore. I did, though. I changed my name for a few months on the IP boards. My name was Cantousent. I actually prefer that name, but changing your name is a pretty dramatic move on a message board. You can't write all those words words words without putting something of yourself in the name. I ended up with buyer's remorse and changed it back to Eldar. So, while I would love to change my name, I didn't really figure I would when I created this thread. I might have, I guess, if something really funny or outright cool popped up. The thing is, there are tons of names that are funnier, cooler, or funnier and cooler than "Eldar." *shrug* ...But I'm just Eldar.
