Well, **beatle** , you can have your **Ringo** if you want. It’ll take some getting used to, but I might come around too, someday. Jim ---

So, **Ringo** , you would suggest that I _not_ change my Username to **TheSkirtChaserWithTheFreakinHugeLibidoAndMasterOfPointlessReparteé**? ---

Who the fuck is **beatle**?? 😕 😃 I like it. Just don’t throw any more monkeywrenches in the clockworks there, m’kay? My brain can only handle so much change. 😉 ---

[mysteriously]I know why he chose Ringo[/mysteriously] Well, at least you stayed close to the old name(unlike Mr.Cynical-\>Manservant Hecubus). And I know you well enough that it won’t cause me too many problems. I’ll still probably shout “beatle!” across the room. ---

> [@](#): > > Michi changing hers, etc. OK update a poor doper. I remember her (a vet nurse?) and hadn’t seen her around lately. (Frequently I’ll be absent from the boards for a while and come back to a whole lot of new people.) Can someone tell me who Michi is now? ---

OK, I’m home so I can post now (just peeked in at lunch today). I’d say this qualifies as mixed reviews. Sorry **techie** dear; things change. **Ayesha** , **Zyada** , **katie** , **mauvaise** , _et al_, I like it when y’all call me **beatle** - it means you know me; first name basis or something. I’m contemplating effecting some changes in my life, and I _guess_ the name change might have been driven by that. Still, I’ve never driven a capitalized screen name - 'wonder if I can do it. On preview I see the **Cyndar** question’s been answered. Thanks, **Scotti** , **Grace** and **'babe**. On preview I also see I blew off all the guys, too. Well, I didn’t, I appreciate y’all’s comments (well, most of 'em 😉 ). ---

But the real question is, are you a mod or a rocker? It’s about time you got your nose out of those books and went parading. Good luck! ---

Well, it’s better than Bug Vomit I suppose. But I want to know how you kept your old post count. When I changed screen names I had to start over from nothing. ---

“Ringo never! Beatle forever! Ringo never! Beatle forever!” I’m thinking of changing my name to something less stupid, too. I’m thinking **PinkFluffyBunnySlippers** or **Cattle Feed** (not seriously, mind you). My username reminds me of some antisocial geek who has a serious phenomelanin deficiency and no life - I want my username to reflect my _good_ side; not who I _really_ am! ---

**Nemo** my friend, you changed back in the dark ages. They can do miracles with modern name transplant technology. (Better than **bug\_vomit**?) ---

Why the overblown idolization of one of the Fab Four? Calling yerself a “beatle” always seemed odd and rather… remote to me. ---

The **Beatles**? So that’s the what it was about. And all this time I just assumed you drive a Volkswagen Bug. ---

That’s kind of funny, because it’s really never been about the Beatles at all. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/insecurity-about-losing-beatle/89720.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/insecurity-about-losing-beatle/89720.md?page=3)
