[small brain]

I've seen a few recently, and I don't thinl they are topical name changes.

Confused

So, could people not do it?

Ok?

I know there's a nutellaontoast who sometimes gets shortened to nutella or nutty, as am I on occasion. Doesn't bother me at all.

WorraLiberty · 05/09/2012 23:07

I have N/C'd because Worra thought this was what my name was anyway

Aaaaand all is finally right in my world Grin

ChaosTrulyReigns · 05/09/2012 23:07

Well, SNF, you can take your notbovverness and get orf my Christmas Card list.

Um.

I have just seen a lisylisylou.

I saw a ObviouslyInvisible and I know it's not ObviouslyOblivious.

It makes updating my spreadshits veh tricky.

I've ended up doing the thing where it shows all of your posts in a colour because I kept getting confused when I seen "SchrodingersHamster".

Kleptronic · 05/09/2012 23:10

Um, it wouldn't at all. There's a fine personage called Salmotrutta (I could be completely wrong there) which means Brown Trout (so I was told) but I am gin addled. I wouldn't mind, but I abhor gin. You're right. I'd get my coat, but I'm already wearing it, because it's freezing. It's not a coat, more of a Druid's cardi, but it would serve.

OI is not OO? Shock Confused

BrainSurgeon · 05/09/2012 23:13

Arf at spreadshits

Nagoo · 05/09/2012 23:13

Kleptronic what's up your sleeve?

imperialstateknickers · 05/09/2012 23:14

Despite the gin you are correct kleptronic. DP was v. impressed by Salmotrutta's nn while lurking behind me as I chortled at a thread she was on. He is obsessed with fish. Despite this strange problem I do still love him.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 05/09/2012 23:15

Nagoo.

Nope.

Sad

Grin Worra

Kleptronic you are way thinking too deeply about these things! Grin enjoy the gin!

Kleptronic · 05/09/2012 23:18

Chorizo crumbs are up my sleeve, as I have a small meat addiction. Crumbs? Nuggets? Morsels. Chorizo morsels. Mind you trout would do. Am printing this thread out as proof my memory worked once.

Startailoforangeandgold · 05/09/2012 23:21

I've reverted to my old name plus children's cancer colours because there was a excess of rabbits and bunnies.

I know I'm not the only star, but I don't care.

Nanny0gg · 05/09/2012 23:38

There's a FutureNanny0gg about somewhere.

But she can bloomin' well wait whilst I'm still around...

Impertinence!

BegoniaBampot · 05/09/2012 23:38

Noticed another Begonia - there ain't room enough in this town....

Begoniawhateveryaname is. I'm comin' after ye!

confusedpixie · 05/09/2012 23:39

There are a few other confused and pixies about and I routinely think that they're me even though I have the coloured posts option on for my own posts Blush

So yanbu!

cocolepew · 05/09/2012 23:42

I don't change mine because then I forget who I am. I don't use capitals either

cocolepew · 05/09/2012 23:44

There is someone who has two names together. The first one is my rl name and I always panic when I see it in case I've posted in my proper name Hmm

ChaosTrulyReigns · 05/09/2012 23:44

Who are you?

OP posts:
cocolepew · 05/09/2012 23:46

It is I, Le Clerk.

MyDogShitsMoney · 05/09/2012 23:48

There's loads of Dog names Sad

I've got used to this one though, plus the other's tend to get shortened to Dog and I tend to get DogShit or MyDog so not too bad.

I did see somone who was MyDogSOmethingOrOther the other day which made me Hmm

I don't want to change again

StormGlass · 06/09/2012 07:46

What was all that about spreadsheets, Chaos?

Are you trying to make a list of everyone who's posted on threads you're on or something?

I saw a PerfectStorm the other day. It took me a minute or two to figure out who was being referred to when her name got shortened to Storm Wink

ChaosTrulyReigning · 06/09/2012 07:54

I dunno what the op is on about myself.

StormGlass · 06/09/2012 07:58

Did you name change specially for this thread? Grin
