Krispy, you may be Slythe, but I am the one and only original _slythe_, not to be confused with Sly. One of us is cute and the other one is smart.

And you STILL won’t tell me which is which, slythe! Are you the smart one or the cute one?? _grin_

What I want to know is, who the hemorrhaging buttfuck is “mahir”? I could almost believe that our favorite horny Turkish net celebrity might stumble across this messageboard somehow, but as with GOD, he only responds when it would be amusing for him to do so. Come on, out with it. Which one of you wiseasses is not a Turk, but plays one on TV? Come forward, and face the music, played on the “enstruman” of your choice.

P.S. I kick you!

I can’t believe all you guys can afford all these user names… and the really long ones too. I mean for what Ed charged me for a simple four letter user name, I can only imagine what you had to pay.

Well, he did throw in a free elevator pass (just don’t know when I’ll get to the Chicago Reader to use it).

May I suggest **Sad Sack** instead. It means the same, and was a comic character.

Shouldn’t posts of this nature be made in “Great Debates”? I mean, this is a rant over multiple user names, not a place to vent your cynical theological views!

Who are you? I must request  
You must come clean and end you jest  
You think you’re clever and quite wise  
But I see through your silly lies  
Only one user name at a time  
More than that should be a crime

It’s not that I wish to be unkind  
Just stop messing with my mind  
First you’re “A,” then you’re “B”  
And then for fun, you post as “C”  
Only one user name at a time  
More than that should be a crime

Flora’s anonymity I understand  
She’s known and famous, and that’s just grand  
She says what she thinks and signs her name  
Unlike you and your silly mind game  
Only one user name at a time  
More than that should be a crime

Oh loverock you are the epitome  
Of all that really aggravates me  
Your spelling was horrible, your grammar bad  
And you really had most of us had  
You weren’t some horny, gross little teen  
But some board regulars, being quite mean  
Only one user name at a time  
More than that should be a crime

Impress me with your wisdom and your wit  
But quit pulling this cowardly shit  
I post only under only one name  
And think everyone should do the same  
You may say something smart or lame  
But please say it under only one name  
Only one user name at a time  
More than that should be a crime

Wol:

Wow, a flame you can dance to. Very impressive.

I doubt anyone thinks I’m anyone else in disguise- I’ve made far too many newbie mistakes to be a regular in drag. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Being in drag, I mean.

I’ll just shut up, now.

**wol** did rhyme: _I post only under only one name_

WOL is a radio station in Washington, DC. If you ever change your mind about maintaining your single-identityhoodness, I suggest you use **wrhf** as your alter-ego, since this was that station’s original callsign, before it became WOL in on Novemeber 11, 1928.

I can never let my true identity be revealed. I have pissed off WAY too many people with just ONE post.
