A Petition for the Teeming Millions.....

Portnoy vs Mr. Cynical
Whatever you choose, I’ll still think of you as Mr. Cynical.

Kinda like The Artist Formerly Known As…I still call him Prince.

oh, come on, Mr. Cynical is evocative of all sorts of things…we could go on for days…

As for Portnoy…didn’t he just complain alot???

cynical is the only way to be

I gotta go with the “Portnoy is a groundhog, Mr. Cynical sounds like someone from Mystery Men you’d wanna hang out and have a beer or seven with”. Besides my art teacher in first grade was Ms. Portnoy and she was a bitch.

C’mon back, Mr. Cynical!

Mr. C come back!!!

One more vote for Mr. C

I liked that name (Mr. Cynical), and still like the person behind it. But now my mental image of you is all messed up. Please change it back.

I liked Mr. Cynical as a name, but what about something like–> Cynical Portnoy? I dunno, I think portnoy is rather brown and non descript, while Mr Cynical is a sharp blue green triangle-ish kinda shape.

I’m voting for Mr. Cynical.

Vote early.
Vote often.

I missed the fanfair of the change in the first place and I was perplexed by who this Portnoy person was, and why it knew me. Most importantly I had no idea if I should flirt with him/her or not! Damn androgyny! Not a Bloom reader so I was way out of the loop.

So, Cyn get your head out of your ass and change it back. You hear me?

< techchick notes that Portnoy/Mr. Cynical has been on the boards but has nothing to say so far >

:::stuffing ballot box with 100 votes for Mr. Cynical:::

:wink:

Well, do what you will, but I don’t think I’ll ever connect you with this new name. I’ve read this, and next month I’ll be thinking.“Where’s MrC been? And who the hell is this Portly guy??”

Why did Mr. Cynical change to Portnoy? Why did they let him? What’s with all this name changing? (B_Line12, Notthemama…) What’s going on here? Can anybody enlighten me? I mean, honestly…shouldn’t it be a lot less easy to just up and change your name, especially without some sort of mass notification so we can keep people straight?

Really, I do want to know why these people have changed their names.

For the record, Mr. Cynical is cooler but Portnoy seems more intellectual.

A rose by any other name…

…why I had no Idea… Mr Cynical come one… did you lose a bet or something??
I just can’t stand people who change their usernames… you can’t trust 'em! Its like they have something to hide.

Har har. Really, Whammo, why’d you change yours? I’m genuinely interested.

I was wondering where the old fart went. I figured he was up to his ass in shitty diapers and didn’t have time to post. Chalk the change up to sleep deprevation. Besides, he’ll have to change it back. We can’t have no babyportnoy around this place.

Thank you, fierra. I hadn’t even thought of that. And I am not changing the name in my sig. No way.

As for the name change thing, I’m undecided. I liked Mr. Cynical but, for some reason, Mr. Cynical did not. If he decides to keep the name Portnoy, fine. He’s still the same ol’ MrC to me. :slight_smile:

In keeping with my aspirations to someday be a co-moderator of that very forum, this is a polling type thread, and really belongs in IMHO.

So there.

Back! Back, I say!

Happy, are we? Hmmmmmmmm?

Me too :slight_smile:

Now I’m just plain confused.

You were cynical, then a complainer, now cynical. Or are you still planning to complain? So, now it will be cynical complaints?

Like I said, I’m just confused. :confused:

Yippee! Mr Cynical is a much better name!!!
