somebody has to say it:  
**Seymour Buttz**  
you know, the guy who wrote the book “Underneath the Stadium Bleachers”

I just met a 10 year old who used it on me, thinking he had the most original joke in the world. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I was a kid once, too.

ah…nostalgia…

on a whim last week, I almost changed my user name to **Piña Colonic** , but I couldn’t figure out how to do the little squigly-n thing.

And my many fans would be confused.

I have used many a name (always “cleverly” false) when at parties I didn’t belong in. I have found that the “HELLO MY NAME IS” tags are just waiting to be abused. How about these?

Ravi Oli  
Otto Teller  
Bill Ding  
Pete Moss  
and my favorite (some of you will remember this name)  
Joey Chitwood Jr.

Usually when I have a tag on with one of these names, the people I am talking to do not realize what a jerk wad I am and call me by that name. People are so shallow…well, except those that post on 'Dope. 😃

I usually have an extensive stock of names that can be gift-wrapped or simply taken ready-to-wear, but times are hard and all I’ve got left on the shelf is **Toast Museum**.

I’ve used my one time name change already, but if I could do it all over again I’d want to be Evo Shandor.
