Chicken of Bristol.

Quietgirl says so too. She’s on the phone with me.

**Czarcasm**

It’s just so _you_, and it leaves Chicken of Bristol open for some other demented poster. I’m a smitten Python fan–considered **Holy Hand Grenade** for you–but this just suits you better.

Hey, there’ll probably be jokes about firing squads but at least you won’t be called **Uncle Pee**.

Wittily named,  
Veb  
P.S. Massive czarcasm there. I’d go for a re-name too but somehow it seems, I dunno, _scary_ somehow.

Sorry, evilbeth, I’m just not a Python fan, and I love puns!

I implore you to sanity! Remain **slythe**! I just couldn’t respect you if your handle had more than one syllable! (And we all know how important I am).

SPOOFE, I noticed that you accidently posted here instead of the _Who Forgot To Taqke Their Medication This Morning?_ thread. Did you want me to move it for you? 🙂

What **Fenris** said.  
**Czarcasm** makes the most czense.

I prefer the name “Canned Possum”.

Though if you are forcing me to gyre and gimble, go with the chicken.

I think **slythe** is one of the coolest names I’ve seen here, but if you simply must change, I’d go with **czarcasm** (lowercase to preserve some of the original flavor). “Chicken of Bristol” is just too goofy for a moderator.

Ideally, I’d vote for “ **slythe**.” If forced to choose between the other two alternatives, however, I’d go with “ **Czarcasm**.”

[SDMB Marketing Exec.]  
I know, we need a name that sounds witty and clever at first, but becomes more and more annoying with each use. I’ve got it! **Czarcasm**!  
[/SDMB Marketing Exec.]

I have not changed my mind. My vote is for **Chicken of Bristol**.

Way to go Tommy. At least the other cat in town agrees with me.

There is going to be hell to pay when evilbeth finds this thread. I pity those who voted for Czarcasm.

Chicken of Bistol rocks!

How about \*\* Sarcastro \*\* instead? ( from The Tick )

OK I guess that wasn’t a real vote.

Oh, **Chicken of Briston** all the way.

The other is just…well, not enough. **CofB** has a nice English Peerage sound to it. Plus, it’s downright funny!

I know, but you’re so much cooler then the rest of them. I thought for sure you’d vote for Chicken of Bristol.
