After four and a half years at the Dope, I’ve changed my user name. I realized that I’ve used my old name as an Internet nom de plume for a long time now, and that my anonymity might be slightly compromised as a result. I wish to continue posting TMI stuff about myself and others without consequences, thus the name change. I’m sure that no one actually gives a rat’s ass, but I’m imagining this is the courteous thing to do. Anyway, essvee is now, officially, Soul Brother Number Two. Thank you for your kind attention. Carry on. ---

This brings up a very important question. Do we bring out the goat for name changes? ---

Name changes are recipient’s choice. So what’ll it be: Goat, Gnu or Emu? ---

Soul Brother Number One is and always will be the hardest working man in show business, James Brown. If I get to pick, I pick the goat. I’m a traditionalist. ---
