Well, everyone else is doing it, so I figure me ‘n’ **fizzy** might as well… I am not a punha. I’m not a pun or a ha, and “now joke, ha” just doesnt’ describe me at all. I am just a poor boy … and **fizzy** … doesn’t. There’s not much of her that fizzestothetop. And a good thing, because it’d make her head swell and she’d start looking for a much better boy:) Hope that cleared things up… [sub]I’ve always wanted Coldfire’s name to be **IcyHot** :)[/sub] ---

At least his name’s better than that **glee** person. I mean, what does that mean? Am I supposed to be happy everytime I see it? 😉 Oh, and my name’s not really **Lsura**. (and yes, I’m going to study some more. Just chalk this up to temporary insanity caused by the stress of exams, papers and general stuff) ---

For the record, according to my post counter, this post is my official _“The Post of the Beast”_. I’d like to use it on something evil or diabolical or at least naughty, but I’m just not as evil as I was in my youth. I’d like to use it for something insightful, captivating, thought-provoking, interesting or witty, but it’s a bit late in the game for me to change my SDMB persona that much. So I’ll just use it to say that my name may or may not be 100% accurately descriptive, depending on one’s answer to the question, “of what?”. Thank you. ---

**Desmostylus** , how’s about you lighten up? In your short time here you’ve insinuated that someone was a troll in GQ and basically acted like a bad tempered arsehole everywhere else. We have plenty of bad tempered arseholes already and don’t need any more. Play nice or go play somewhere else. ---

Well, hell. I thought it was sorta stupid. The line is kinda funny but I looked forward to smacking him down about the Rush song thing. But apparently there’s more going on here than I, in my cheerful oobliviousness, realized. There’s a lot of pent-up annoyance surrounding BZ, isn’t there? ---

And you too. There, now we’re all square. Can you just now get into the spirit of this and tell us whether you are or are not a demostylus, and perhaps you could then explain what one is exactly. ---

Proving that nature abhors a vacuum, **Desmo** has more than filled the bill. And given how much the Mods _love_ that attitude, and given your [name calling](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=147399) in GQ, I can honestly say “I’m won’t miss you when you’re gone.” Fenris ---
