I was thinking yesterday that one is sort of keepable- it has a little more verve than IMHO does. I’ll suggest it but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

No, we just came up with more than one fake name for most of the forums and decided to use some of them before the end of the day.

I liked Pissy Little Feuds too, and Pretentious Art Criticism. They both seemed incredibly accurate and self-deprecating

Loved 'em! They made me 😃  
It took me a minute to catch on because I forgot it was April Fool’s Day. But once I caught on. . .

I also loved that _Google_ changed its ‘name’ to _Topeka_ for the day! 😃
