Such a minor request, but it would make me inordinately joyful.

Thanks.

Betty you're beeyoutiful.

Cat how can you be unsure - you're a Top Cat now.

Altogether now:

"Top Cat!
The indisputable leader of the gang.
He's the boss, he's a pip, he's the championship.
He's the most tip top,
Top Cat."

::Is far too young to remember Top Cat::

::Cough::

my nn looks wrong capitalized.
I've tried it.
it just doesn't feel like me.

YABU.

nickelbaalamb · 18/04/2011 11:53

and think of all the fun we had with chicken 's name - chickens shaven o lips. wouldn't have happened if she'd capitalized.

CatInBoots · 18/04/2011 12:34

grovel · 18/04/2011 17:36

I am not worthy of capital letters.

Blatherskite · 18/04/2011 17:43

My name is already properly capitalised. As I have had to point out in the past, I'm not Blather's Kite, just Blatherskite.

T'is a noun don'tchaknow Grin

Blatherskite · 18/04/2011 17:45

Oh and YANBU, capitals make user names much easier to read

Kaekae · 18/04/2011 18:29

I recently uncapitalised mine so I am not changing again.

confuddledDOTcom · 18/04/2011 19:08

My 4 year old sings Top Cat so don't try to act like you don't know the words!

Youremindmeofthebunny · 18/04/2011 19:26

I quite like mine uncapitalised because it sounds more like the song, all run in to one. Or is that just me? Go on then, I'll try it out for size.

YouRemindMeOfTheBabe · 18/04/2011 19:28

Hmm. I don't know.

TethersEnd · 18/04/2011 19:40

Ok, I am trying it to see if it lends an air of gravitas and people start actually LISTENING TO ME.

To be fair, kids do avoid me.

TethersEnd · 18/04/2011 19:47

Quite a lot of adults do too.

I think the capitals make you look frumpy Tethers

TethersEnd · 18/04/2011 19:57

I feel frumpy, usual.

I might go and buy a White Stuff dress.

CakeandRoses · 18/04/2011 20:25

< Almost to scared to enter with Tethers End sitting hauntingly on the horizon >

Yanbu but... Is it legal for my 'and' to start lowercase?
