Discussion: username changes

for everyone like sergei who's been itching to change their attackpoint username to something more (or less) weird, you can now do that in your profile (Utilities -> Edit Profile).

I'll be putting the rights to pick my new username up for bid on eBay later today.

Thank you, Kenny

Is that the best you can do?

would you have preferred g-man, j-man?

As long as I'm getting royalties...

But g-man sounds a bit derivative, anyway. Or else redolent of an FBI agent.

thinking about JoeB, maybe JB.

Think again. Admit it: haven't you always wanted to be a "Joe-O-Bob"?

Kenny, you opened a Pandorra? Box

Can we change other people's usernames? arcticKng is needed, methinks.

that depends on whether you are me or not..

Can I change my name to kwalker, too?

nope, you can't have any one that's already taken.

Then how about K_Walker ?

if you really wanted to, yeah. although I guess SergeiZhyk is now available also.

I encourage everyone to change to something that is readily identifiable so us lurkers will know who is who without having to constantly look everything up.

I think I'll try being Superman. (Oh, great, I put this post up, and now the first ad reads, "Tired of Being Skinny?")

Hm, now there are only two ads, and both are for FBI Agent Schools. Different ones. J-J, are you hiding something?

he must be hiding something, now its for Drug Free Workplace (I think its the ethan-ol)

does Goooooogle really think everyone wants to be an FBI Agent?

but hey, I only have one fbi agent school ad. I don't know how I feel about this. I mean, I don't really wanna be an FBI agent, but then again, everyone else got two ads and I want to fit in.

hmmm - ad for "Athletic Singles - Search photo profiles of singles into fitness. Join now for free."

Probably cheesecake shots of the trim and svelte. Wonder if the Swampfox is in there...

Why isn't there a site for us non-singles (couples, pairs, married folks...)?

Not likely. I have big news. Very big news.

Yes, inspired by Eric Buckley's story of how he became a successful orienteer and even won the latest round of the death match, I decided to be a man of action and, well, take action.

It's tough (but maybe not impossible, at least not if you were in Italy right now) to find a Swede to marry on short notice, but what I have done is the next best thing. Reading Eric's personal testimony again, and this time very carelessly and picking out only the parts I wanted to believe, I have mistakenly isolated the key factor behind Eric's transformation as being the part where he transformed himself from a cycling weakling into a studly osage orange bashing machine, by gaining 60 pounds in less than 6 months.

So, I have decided to put on a great deal of weight too! And it's going to work really good, except for the part where, since making my decision, I've actually lost a pound despite eating lots of lard and Big Macs. But I'm not discouraged, and this setback is actually only spurring me on, and for breakfast today I am having several cases of twinkies instead of my more usual oatmeal. Yum! Yum, yum! Twinkies! Yum! Twinkies, twinkies! (Will this be enough to trigger AttackPoint ads for twinkies and/or Yum brands?)

By Possum Trot I will be in fighting shape I expect, and probably even the Buckley man hisself will want to let me lead the way through the more (osage orange) infested portions of the forest so that the way is cleared properly.

Once I have added on about 60 pounds--or more--I may even change my AttackPoint name to something more suitable. And, by the way, Yum and twinkies again!

Don't be discouraged, you just need more focus. According to the Super Size Me! documentary, it is possible to gain large quantities of weight in time for the Possum Trot. You need to lay off the Twinkies and eat exclusively at McDonalds for the next 30 days.

Of course! What an idiot I am! (puts down 23rd twinkie of the day). But McDonalds is only about 10 blocks away, and if I drive I can be there in about 5 minutes (definitely don't want to expend any precious calories on something like walking.)

I swear I am going to be more diligent and bring real good focus starting right NOW.

It's actually a documented fact that Swampfox really likes hamburgers. I'm not kidding. And I've seen him eat a big steak. But he might want to also consider the Snorkel Method.

Why isn't there a site for us non-singles (couples, pairs, married folks...)?

Actually, if you click on that SportsFriends link and go to the signup page, Jim, you'll see that one of the choices for what you are (or what you're seeking) is "Couple".

I barely know Swampfox, but I've been led to believe that he'd prefer something like this over ice cream. And I am oh so envious, too. They closed up shop in Cincinnati about 15 years ago.

Nah, he's fussy about pizza. And with good reason, too. The pizza from his kitchen may well be the best available in Wyoming.

Best pizza in Wyoming. There's an endorsement for ya.
