What's a good name for me? I'm tired of bongel already.

[The Pit and The Pendulum]

I want something I can use in the pit, but would be too suggestive or wild or shocking for the other forums.

[The Pit and The Pendulum]

I guess Satan is Pit-like.
Drain Bead seems like it's a pun on Brain Dead, which is zombie-like, at least.

I could go with Zombie-like in a pinch, I spose.

[Mockingbird]

Hmmn. Well, some ideas that seem to follow the SDMB could be:

Capt_Felch
Mr_Rant
General_Malaise
Zentropic_Force
Little_Miss_Martyr
Hegelrific
Kantian_Problem
Out_Of_Focault
WWJD

But these are just some thoughts...

[The Pit and The Pendulum]

I like the looks of "Out_Of_Focault".
How is it pronounced?

[yojimbo]

How about Fickle Fucker

[The Pit and The Pendulum]

Wasn't that a character on Laugh-In?

[The Pit and The Pendulum]

Sorry, Fickle Finger. Same idea, though.

I can change my name, can't I? I know I've seen references to that.
Or isn't it allowed any more?
This name just seems wrong. It's not funny at all.
It's like I'm at a party wearing my church clothes.

[Lynn Bodoni]

Yes, you can change your name. However, we'll only allow a certain number of changes, we don't allow you to get a new name every month.

If you want to change your name, email me or TubaDiva and tell us what you want your name changed to. We can go into the database and change it. It won't affect your post count.

I'm sure you can change your name, what I think Lynn's saying is not to have one name for the Pit and one name for the rest of the Boards.

Once you decide to change your name, email the admins requesting what you want the name changed to and they will take care of the rest.

[The Pit and The Pendulum]

I didn't mean to imply there's anything wrong with your name. Some people don't like funny.
It's just I'd like something funny.

[Crunchy Frog]

Damn simul-posting again. That's twice today.

[The Pit and The Pendulum]

The above comment was for at Lynn, not you, as I suppose you guessed.

Yes, that's exaxctly what I paln to do, once iI find the right name.

[The Pit and The Pendulum]

Wow, the editor really ate me up that time. I guess I type faster than I proofread.

[The Pit and The Pendulum]

Is "Focault" a real word? It sounds very familiar, but it's not in my Funk& Wagnalls

[Spider Woman]

leg nob. That's bongel backwards. Synonym for knee.

[kiffa]

...change your name. I went thru a similar situation a couple of months ago; seems that there was another, well-known poster who had the same name as I have but with a number attached. She complained; I thought about it and decided to let her go with it. The best advice I received was to let everyone know that I was now to be known as kiffa and not as %^$##.

Please re-introduce yourself ..... thanks

[Mockingbird]

Focault is a last name. Michel Focault was a french philosopher.

[Primaflora]

It is Foucault though. If you use this one, I would guess that some familiarity with Foucaltian theory would be useful. Personally it makes my brain hurt

[Lemur866]

bongel, if you change your name to Foucault, be prepared for those of us who believe the real world actually exists to barbecue your ass. Do some research and you will probably agree that the guy was a total idiot. Or not.

[MysterEcks]

Capt_Felch

Excellent suggestion, though you should probably use CaptainFelch. You'd be amazed at how much automatic credibility that name would give you, especially in Great Debates.

[Zenster]

Or you could just keep washing your hair and never get invited to my party thread. Go with Captain_Felch, it's so appropriate. Keep padding your replies on this thread to really cement your reputation.

[Satan]

I'm tired of bongel already.

Aren't we all?

Well, if you want a name that will stand out like the proverbial sore thumb, and is funny, AND is known to the board (at least those who have been in chat the last 3 days or so), you really can't beat the simplicity and elegance of:

Ass Clown

[Quin City]

The names I like here all have 3 or more words. You might find the limit. Maybe your name could be:
Out_Of_Michel_Focault-French_philosopher

[Homer]

Call yourself "Big Fat Penis"

That would be so cool.

--Tim

[Primaflora]

Foucault. Foucault. Foucault.

and he would need to develop familiarity with the philosophy of said Foucault

[vincenz]

If it's a philosopher, then who's the guy with the pendulum?

[Lazarus7]

Leprositic Monkey

[Broken Doll]

Bunghole.

Wish I'd known that before I abandoned my last username...

You convinced me. I want UncleBier as my new name.

I asked in the pit for something ominous, and the best they gave me was
Foucault's Pendulum.
What's a good name for me? I'm tired of bongel already.

Saay! Hold the red pencil. I think we have a new winner.

What about The Pit and the Pendulum? [/b]

[UncleBeer]

I don't think that's a very good idea bongel. In fact, I can guarantee that you'll never get your screen name changed to UncleBier.

[TwistofFate]

Hwo is the guy with the pendulum?
Grandfather Clock, I think

[thinksnow]

bongel - bunghole

or fliché
or skeeters priapism (personal favorite, think about it)

Ass clown...that's funny.

Hey, if you want a controversial name, go with Lyndon LaRouche!

[RM Mentock]

There's philosopher Michel Foucault (1926-1984), and then there's physicist Jean Foucault (1819-1868).

[neutron star]

Hell, you should just keep your old name. Anybody who's got a bong in their handle is alright with me.

You should have no trouble getting that approved, but does it fit your OP of
"I want something I can use in the pit, but would be too suggestive or wild or shocking for the other forums."

[MysterEcks]

A few more suggestions for ya, bongel:

Lumpy_Undies

PotatoBrain

The Crazed Kumquat

LobotomyBoy

TheMalteseBippy

JJJingleheimerSchmittJr

Rectum_Head

Wombat From Hell

EnisThePenis

Dangling_Boogers

Uglier_N_Shit

Don't thank me--I'm happy to help.

[Mu Mu]

That's quite a list. How long you working on it?
Don't waste them all on Bongle. Save some for yourself.
If you pick EnisThePenis, though, don't be surprised if people want to see "references".

It took a couple of twists, but
Out_Of_Focault turned into
Foucault turned into
Out_Of_Michel_Focault-French_philosopher turned into
physicist Jean Foucault (1819-1868) inventer of the pendulum that bears his name turned into

The Pit and The Pendulum

And thank to all who wrote (except the one with
Lumpy_Undies. Yuk!)

Not very. You don't really believe I put any significant effort into this shit, do you?
