[QUOTE=jali] I don’t think he was running away from his old name - I think he felt that this new name was more interesting than VCO3 and that someone would pat him on his lil’ head and say, “good job!” or “how witty”. [/QUOTE] Nah, he just did it to provoke a reaction from us. Like he always does. And, of course, it worked. Anyhow, he’ll always be VC **O** 3 (that’s a letter “o” not a zero, dammit. Not directed at you, **jali** , but I see the mistake all the time) to me. ---

I admit his name makes my eyes go out of focus, so I propose: TLDRIDKJK **A** LOLFTW ---

I don’t know if this is an actual suggestion, but I always read his new name in my head as “turducken”. Ya know, like the chicken with it’s head up the ass of a duck with it’s head up the ass of a turkey. Figurative heads and asses, of course. ---

Now that I know the original name, it explains the posting habits of this name. How about Slice Me Dice Me Make My Day VO5 is hairspray so VO3 was close enough that I always thought of hairspray, or maybe hairspray in the eyes. ---

Actually, I always thought the username **VCO3** was his most redeeming quality as a poster. It reminded me that even though he is batshit insane when it comes to most matters of the world, you could actually have an intelligent conversation with him about music. ---

I don’t get how allowing a name change that almost everyone is aware of is providing either anonymity or a “new start” 😕 ---
