Or just **Member**.

In a change on my usual name suggestion: Polyinitialed Designation.

This gets my vote.

Since you’re all hating on Mr. FussyPants, I’ll go on record as saying that I have no problem with him. If he wants to see 40, he probably needs to find a way to not go ballistic quite so regularly, but I still find him entertaining.

I’ve been reading it as “Turducken” whenever I see his screen name. Probably more creative than he deserves.

You know I always tell my little niece that teasing isn’t nice. I guess this kind of qualifies as teasing. I’m sorry **TLDRETC.** You want a hug? 🙂

That’s the name I’d pick.  
[/QUOTE]

Hey, I barely know the guy; I don’t want people to think we’re related.

I’ll cast another vote for **What’s The Deal With Black People?** , although I don’t recall any threads like that since the name change.  
I don’t mind having him around. As others have said, it doesn’t take many threads to figure out what kind of poster he is, whether you know his old reputation or not. If you’re not in the mood for that kind of thing, it’s easy to avoid his threads. If you _are_ in the mood, they can be entertaining.

In honour of one of his more memorable moments of batshit, I propose ‘Steak and Lobster’.

Why don’t we just go all out and name him  
**The Mother-Flippin Hiphopapotamus**  
**The Rhymenocerous**  
**Louis Farrakhan’s (Figurative) Brother**  
**Onyx Afrikaa N’kwebe**  
**Steve**  
**Doctors Won’t Give a Black Man Meds**  
or  
**Remix the Dominant Paradigm for Jesus**

Emphasis added.

Yet another excellent suggestion.

[QUOTE=I Love Me, Vol. I]  
Doesn’t **VCO3** mean **“Voltage Controlled Oscillator (number) 3”**?? I always liked that name a bit because I am a sort of former, erstwhile, pseudo, poser, very weak, keyboard player.  
[/QUOTE]

I always read it as **Vice-Chancellor Ozone**. That’s actually not bad at all.

Ooh, I like **Steak and Lobster**!!!

But my original vote was going to be **Alphabits**. That’s just plain cute.

As far as the name changes: I think there should be a permanent sticky thread where name changes are announced. Perhaps one that only mods/admins can post to to keep it short and focused.

Well, it’s not the one that they’re talking about, but the **MizGrand** debacle was pretty recent and along the same lines.
