When I hear “Portnoy,” I think snooty, prissy fat kid who has chocolate smeared all over his face. When I hear “Mr. Cynical,” I think…hey, cool dude! :::adds her applause to the name reversion::: ---

::Signing up: As long as we’re tilting at windmills, I also propose the following username changes also: **Satan** to **ArchAngel** Additionally, ArchAngel Records would be a smashing name for an indy label. **aenea** to **kneeler** She is what she is. **Falcon** to **BareBreastedFinch** I calls 'em as I sees 'em. **purplebear** to **MrsPipefitter** I rail against Mr. Bear’s protestations. **pipefitter** to **pipelayer** Hard love is the best love. **kellibelli** to **QueenDiva** Abandon cute. Go hard core. **Mullinator** to **Mully** Short is good. Falcon doesn’t know what she’s talking about. **PLDennison** to **Poltergeist** When he shows up he’s always knocking something. I’ll ruminate a bit 'ere I post more. ---

I am honored (I think) by the fixation you seem to have developed with my kneeling posture. If I had known it was gonna turn you on so much sailor boy, I would have sent you a pic while you were lost on the big boat of yours. :eek: I feel that I should let you know the plain truth of the matter though. That pic was the only time _you_ will ever see me in that posture. The only man I actually kneel for is my husband, and now that we are married (by long standing tradition apparently) I don’t even have to do that anymore. 😃 ;j [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-petition-for-the-teeming-millions/30268.md?page=2)
