To wonder how many of you have Terry Pratchett-related usernames?

[StackladysMorphicResonator]

Come forward, all you Pratchett People!

Oook :-(

I snaffled this name. From my favorite book and my favorite name change! (His Name change I mean...)

Goddess of Misunderstandings. Seemed an apt name for me...

Going to read all my favourite books again!

You can add me To the list.

Took my name from the Abbot when he's reincarnating -- seemed very appropriate for MN...
I'm hoping that my purple lilac tree flowers well this year, in memory of someone who brought so much pleasure into so many lives

Oh my god yes biscuits have been known as bikkets for years in this house!

I used to be leonardofquirm for a while but I can't remember my login from then so I've lost him. :(

Checking in, with a sad song in my heart today. I shall wear the lilac.

Have changed name since I heard the news, always wanted to be a Nac Mac Feegle!

Hi :)

NC for now

Forgot about this thread, I've been so sad but have no one in RL who will feel the same way so I'm glad to have found you all again.

Have name changed to my fave named character - couldnt add the ' though :D

I've been Esme Weatherwax on here for a long time! Can't believe I haven't seen this thread before. I keep seeing lovely things written about STP and bursting into tears.

Oh, that cartoon is brilliant and funny and poignant and rather perfect.

Esme, that cartoon is lovely.
I nc for another thread and every single Discworld related name I wanted was already gone, wonderful that he touched so many of us.

Please could you all add your favourite quotes from TP? I'll start.

“Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind.” (I use this at work at least once a month).

“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.”

“It's not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren't doing it.”

sob

“I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.”

I can't remember the exact words but the one about a poor man buying a ten dollar pair of boots every year because they wear through. A rich man can afford a fifty dollar pair of boots that last ten years. After ten years the poor man will have spent a hundred dollars and still have wet feet. Sums up my life.

That's Sam Vimes's logic re the boots, he could save up and by leather boots but keeps on buying the cardboard ones that he thinks his salary and place in society permits. Right now I can't think of which book it's in.

I use 'I can't be doing with this' regularly and have never realised it is a Pratchett-ism!

I've been saying it a lot lately, for various reasons.

What a wonderful cartoon.

Thank you Esme.

I thought I should adapt my name for a bit.

The petition.

thanks for the link, Tiggy - nearly 24600 signatures!

OokMyBanana - love your name. Am scrabbling for a NC...

Is there anyone out there who does like Rincewind? I always want to give him a massive slap.

Can't feel the cobbles through $50 boots though, Sam Vimes can feel his way round the city though the soles of his cardboard boots.
