I Get Mixed up

A perfect example is Ferrous and Fenris.

Your names are too similar, and sometimes it fucks me up. There are other instances of this nonsense, but I hate typing, so I won’t bother to list them. You know who you are.

Knock it off. I have better things to do than rack my brain wondering, “Is he the one that posted that witty comment in GQ? Or was it her?”

Come to some kind of agreement and change your names to end the confusion.

Or am I the only one confused?

Never mind. Just do it.

I always confuse you with Slip Baloney…because you’re so full of it!!! :slight_smile:

i should be a fucking comedian.
peace,
JB

Slip Baloney?

I love it! It’s so me!

Thanx, jabe. That’ll be my name if I join a vegeterian message board.

Thank you, thank you…I’ll be here all week

This is an example of how incredibly stupid I am. When I see the names Frumious Bandersnatch or Fretful Porcupine, I think it’s me. I actually say to myself, “I don’t remember posting in this thread…” until I take a second look at the name and realize oh, it’s not me.

Augh! I mean Fretful Porpentine. Sorry for the mix-up.

And you screwed up the coding, too.

I love ya anyway, Fire.

Gaudere and Gadarene

MEBuckner and MGibson

Millosarian and Mullinator

Fenris, Feynn, and Freyr

I don’t feel ashamed to admit I can’t always remember who’s who, especially those last three. The bad ones are the names that don’t sound or look at all similar and yet I can never stop confusing them.

elucidator and erislover.
One of the Gads (the tall, cute one that’s not a girl and not a mod) told me that I should look for the “u”. But now I don’t remember which one has the “u”.

'S all right, everybody does it.

For some unfathomable reason, I have trouble telling apart Biffer Spice and Gary Kumquat, and for fairly obvious reasons I keep getting andros and astorian mixed up.

That’s it! MGibson–yer gonna have to change your name! (Hey, we’ve got that new symbol font thing, so you could even do like Prince did.)

That’s it… Freyr and Feynn… I mean Feynn and Fenris… those other two guys will have to change their names so I don’t get confused.

I can see why people get confused as we’re all brilliant and articulate individuals.

:slight_smile:

But what are you all going to change to? Are there enough distict names for everyone?

Maybe if we like double up people in BBQ and MPS, or newbies and veterans, or have one in caps and one in lower case. Or assign people surnames. Say, I’m Shade Fenris and Fenris is Fenris Fenris and Feynn is Feynn Fenris. This isn’t helping, is it?

People sometimes confuse me with SPOOFE.

God alone knows why.

MC, MEBuckner, MGibson - sure there are others.

Elucidator and obfusacist for some bizarre reason.

Feynn, Freyr - all the time.

I used to get msmith and msrobyn mixed up, but not any more. But there are documented reasons for that.

Bet nobody gets me mixed up. kabbes is quite disctinctive for some reason.

Those few of you that actually remember the name at all, that is.

Cool. It was Biffer who introduced me to this place.

There’s a yojimboguy knocking around. The first time I saw a post from him I thought to myself “WTF, I don’t remember posting that”

Right now I’m getting confused with these two:

Candygram! [land shark]

http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=19105
Candygram! [ land shark ]

Can you see my dilemma?

That’s really weird, Oncle Biere.

I mean…

Oh, never mind.

Heh. The really weid thing is we have a poster who has called me OncleBiere since before we had a poster with that name.
