[quote=“Rasa, post:19, topic:553831”] > [@Enderw24](#): > > Ahahaha. I wish I didn’t remember **rasa** & **oldscratch**! Man, I dated a lot from this board. What a floozie I was. _snort_ Can I shatter a lot of old-timer images of **oldscratch** by telling you that he confessed to me that the dog anus story was totally made up for effect? It was. > > Didn’t you start off as **Enderw23** and changed it when you hit 24? Isn’t it time for another few changes?. Heh. Yeah, I had a feeling it was completely made up. He just wanted to win the TMI thread that was rightfully mine for the taking. Well fine then. He gets the crown but now he’s gotta live under its shadow :). And yeah, I was EnderW23 to start off. Good memory. I changed it in January when it was my birthday. I have quite a number of EnderWxx floating around the internet. When it came time to change it to EnderW25 I never did. This was in part because I think whoever I asked to change it the first time gently rebuked me saying she’d do it _this_ time, but really didn’t want to keep doing it year after year after year. So I never did. I thought about changing it permanently to EnderBoy but, gah, I’m 33 years old now and I don’t really feel like a boy anymore. I’m a man damnit. A man’s man! Wait, that doesn’t sound right. ETA: newb. ---

I missed my Doper birthday too. August 2000, apparently. Ah well, the old memory is not what it was. All must eat cake! [sub] Um, that is, except anyone dieting, or allergic, or avoiding gluten, or eggs, or diabetic or anything. 🙂 [/sub] ---

Just wanted to say hi and congratulations. My ten year anniversary is next January. Celyn, you are right about cake - and I suggest red velvet cake, unless you hate it then go ahead and have some chocolate cake (or carrot cake, or yellow cake, etc.). Cake for all dopers! ---
