LMAO, that’s a good one, Lsura. Where’s me pot 'o gold? You stole me pot 'o gold! Coming soon… Leprechaun 7: Leprechaun Takes The SDMB. bwahahahaha 😛

Well, thanks for all the tips and kudos on my original sn. Looks like I will keep it as-is. 😃

Grow a thin moustache, mousse back your hair, and try:

a. SilkySilverKey  
b. SlickSilverKey  
c. SwankySilverKey  
d. SuaveSilverKey

Or get you a cowboy outfit and a little mask and call yourself…wait for it…  
HIYOSILVERKEY!

Away,I slink. But first(butt first?) I agree with Handy. We need less,not more confusion. Why mess with a working proposition? That would be a mis-handling of the situation.  
Now,I slink without a doubt…
