On further consideration, is it too late to change my username to **Sexy Well-Adjusted Genius Multibillionaire**?

I would be very screwed… but at least the Mars rover pictures would be awesome.

My user name is an old AD&D char from a game where the GM went crazy and basically gave us the world so I’ll be flying around on my black pegasus and flinging fireballs from my artifact class staff. Should I ever land I believe it was a pair of swords of dancing (you swing then they fly off and fight for you while you [del]cower in safety[/del] recline in comfort) that will do battle for me.

I wonder if this magical noise will also give us access to my hideout in Undermountain. If so, party at my place!

Top of the ocean food chain is a nice place to be and I get a whole week dedicated to little ol’ me once a year. I am getting a little tired of the rancid whale blubber though, anybody want to go for a swim? Not sure how I’m typing this thougggggggggggggggsfdajlkaslsdhlksbzzzzt.

I’d do well in school, but my neighbor would bug the crap out of me and my feet would look like dinner rolls.

Looks like I am employed by a clandestine U.S. agency that’s so clandestine, not even the NSA knows it exists. Not bad.

I’d be large, hairy, and ill-tempered.

Pretty much the same, then.

I’ll be OK I guess as long as the sound effect transports me [home](http://www.freewebs.com/1969clangers/home.htm). The language won’t be a problem, all British people my age speak _Clanger_.

Not sure how the blue string pudding will go down, I’m more of a curry chap, maybe that will change with the transformation?

OK then, I’m off to do some [space fishing!](http://www.freewebs.com/1969clangers/7.htm)

Given that my name is Hungarian for “turkey breast,” you make the call.

I think that as long as none of look at you, you’ll exist indefinitely in an indeterminate state. So it’s your choice: eternal limbo, or a coin flip…
