Beck, I’m sorry but that suggestion from lil’wrekker keeps haunting me like a dead fish hidden in my car. Was that a suggestion born of utter innocence, naiveté and ignorance of internet explicit adult entertaiment or was it accompanied by an evil chuckle?

I doubt\* she knows much about adult entertainment, the evil chuckle came from me. I thought it was hilariously over the top.

\*I could be wrong. Nah, not MY baby.

ETA Bullwinkle is a good user name.

People, **guestchaz** has just gone through a divorce and instead of supporting him, we’re complaining about his original ideas? Shame on us.

Of the three, I go with **DorkVader**

I say just go with Chaz. Or keep thinking.

I just think if you choose DorkVader, you’ll tire of the cuteness. And 10 yr olds grow up to be 14 yr olds who’ll say “Scoot’sDad? Seriously, did you even ASK? Do I have ANY say in the stupid stuff you drag me into? You have no boundaries, and as a result, ZERO social skills.” (actual quote from my son)

Actually **digs** Scoot already does things like that(he hasn’t shown an aversion to being called Scoot or Scooter yet though) so I had to chuckle at your post.

It’s ok **kunilou** I knew what to expect, thus post #14. I do appreciate your concern though, thank you.

Besides, if I can’t laugh at myself when life sucks balls, I’d thoroughly hate myself when life is good.

**AllThatChaz**

Or any other play on Jazz. To be jazzy was quirky and colorful, back in the day. And jazz breaks the rules, but comes out being a thing of beauty.  
**SyncopatedChaz** , **ChazFusion** , **ImprovisationalChaz** , **LiveChazTonight** , **AllAboutTheChaz** …  
And on a less tasteful note, if you go with JustChazzedMyPants … I’ll feel SO guilty.

I dunno, **Ukelele Ike** suggested Moose, and now I’m kinda liking Georges The Red Nosed Moose, but not Francois the hairdressing moose.

Yeah, Georges, The Red Nosed Moose. And it seems like it fits when I try it out in the mirror too, maybe even better than Dork Vader (what!?! What’s your method for choosing a name? Stop looking at me like that)
