Amusingly, I found this thread by doing a vanity search (which I do very, very rarely).
I did indeed have you (or at least your username) in mind in that thread; it just seemed to fit the topic at hand well. For the avoidance of doubt, I wasn’t implying any connection between you personally and a Venus flytrap.
I do still remember the FUB/AS connection too, which is a mnor miracle considering that my name recollection skills are pretty crap frankly.
And, FTR, I’m male.
Cryptic crosswords I’m not usually fond of, but that clue parses as:
Strangely (clues the solver to an anagram coming up, i.e. the letters are arranged “strangely”), a final (the anagram of your name) Southerner (the actual clue as to who the answer might be).
Err…you ARE from the South, right? 
Your’s sucks? I can’t even do one on mine. Stupid three character username.
My name results in replies to my replies, replies to my threads, and customer service threads (by people who wear nametags).
My wife would prefer that they not do that… 
That may have been true before, but not now.
I’ve done vanity searches and usually I find only posts that I have made. They usually make me realize how little actual information I add to these discussions. This one included!
The first time I did a vanity search, I found a thread called something like “What have Dopers done for you lately?”
Cervaise had posted “I’ll always be grateful to Larry Mudd for the reacharound.”
I had to look it up. :eek: I still wonder if I had said something in another thread that made it topical, or if it was just out of the blue?
I don’t do vanity searches anymore.
How do you do a vanity search?
Enter your username in the field for “search for key words.”
Here you go.
I only looked at the threads I wasn’t subscribed to.
…when I did my own vanity search, that is. I already knew why I had been mentioned in the subscribed threads.
I’ll admit to doing vanity searches on a fairly regular basis. Usually it’s in response to something I’ve already posted, but occasionally someone (most often Cerowyn writing about our rampages through Tokyo) brings up my name in a thread.
I was momentarily flattered to see my name mentioned in the “Future of Human Evolution?” thread, but then found out they were just talking about space flight.
And btw, AwSnappity, I remembered your old name, too!
Amp, you can do vanity searches by using wildcards (Amp); unfortunately you’ll also pick up every other word with the letters “amp” appearing consecutively in them (“amplify”, “tramp”, “rampart” and so forth). I used to use this back when I was “jr8” – but then “jr8” doesn’t usually appear in commonly recurring words.
Them’s the breaks.
Heh. Heh, heh. Heh. Link.
I vaguely recall that at the time you’d made a particularly funny response to something I’d written (in the Pit? don’t remember), so I figured I’d take the piss in another thread. Totally random. And in hindsight it maybe wasn’t that funny.
But still: Heh. Heh, heh.
Heh.
