Name Changes

[SmoothOperator]

Anti Pro I think we need water blasters.

Trion, I’m flattered that anyone remembers me. I so rarely post here. Thanks.

Kat, I think I tried to get a mentor, but wasn’t assigned to one when I was first posting. I went away for awhile. I’m sorry that I caused Christi to fall off the wagon because of my not posting and praising her. I forgot!

kiffa: thank you for changing your user name. Every time I saw your name, I thought, I don’t remember posting to that!
Love the sig!

[kiffa]

At your service Madam. I hope it reduces confusion.
I am sorry that it took so damn long to get the change done;
one, I had to think up a new name and two, it took the MB a long, long, loooonnnnnnggg time to respond to my request as well as make the change.

[Snark]

My name is Bill. My handle was Snarkberry on this board until I changed it to Snark. I later changed Snark to Flinx, and still later changed it back to Snark.

I’ll be sticking with Snark. Sorry for the confusion.

[vanilla]

And also, for those who don’t know: Snark used to be known as
peaches and peaches8.
Hope that clears everything up.

[coosa]

You mean we had peaches and peaches8? No wonder I was confused! Sorry, peaches8, I know you changed your name several times, and when I saw the thread about changing ‘peaches’ to ‘kiffa’, I just assumed you were changing again and didn’t look any further! And sorry, kiffa, for confusing you with peaches8 - although I don’t think I could have confused you with a nicer person.

[Moe]

I was Kenny yesterday. Now I’m Moe (hence my new sig). But I’m still the same person Moe o’ less. ::ba-dump <<crash>>::

[Kat]

Did I post to this thread? I vaguely remember making up Cristi doing something bad due to “her newbie” not praising her, in response to a post from SmoothOperator, and Smooth’s comment addressed to me supports that, but there’s no post like that in this thread. Am I losing my mind again?

And I loved your name! Almost wish you hadn’t changed it. I named my cat after Bast, since she was the goddess of cats (amongst other things, as shown below).

From http://www.radiant.org/bubastis/deity/bast.html

Bast

Tameran names: Bast, Bastet, Pasch, Ubasti, Ba en Aset (N.B. In addition to native variations by locality or over time, there are often several possible transliterations into the Roman alphabet used for English.)

Greek names: Artemis, Kore Artemis

In ancient artwork, Bast is typically shown as a beautiful girl with the head of a cat. She is commonly shown with black, white, yellow, or glowing skin. Sometimes She is shown as a light-skinned European girl with long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She is often shown as fully cat.

Bastet is the name of Bast when She is in fully cat form.

Pasch is recorded in extremely ancient documents as being an older version of Her name. We get the modern English word “passion” from Pasch.

Bast is an extremely ancient Goddess, long predating writing. She had many, sometimes contradictory, roles. NB: not all of the following was believed simultaneously. Beliefs about Bast evolved over thousands of years and the views under the Old Kingdom were significantly different than the Greco-Roman views, not to mention a wide variety of modern variations.

Bast is the Goddess of cats.

Bast is the Goddess of the rising sun.

Bast is the Goddess of enlightenment.

Bast is the Goddess of truth.

Bast is the Goddess of lesbians.

Bast is the Goddess of civilization, bounty, and plenty.

Bast is the Goddess of the household and protector of the home.

Bast is the enlightened Maiden of the Triple Goddess.

Bast is the Goddess of Goddess of creation.

Bast is the Goddess of sex, fertility, and birth. See also information on the religious item known as the Djed.

Bast is the Goddess of physical pleasures.

Bast is the Goddess of bountiful positive energy.

Bast is the Goddess of music, dance, and the arts. The priestesses of Bast were known for their erotic dance ritual, the forerunner of modern erotic dance and stripping.

Bast is the Goddess of hemp and marijuana.

Bast is the Goddess of the moon and possessor of the Utchat, the Eye of Her twin brother Heru Sa Aset [Horus].

Now I ask you, could there be any cooler username than one representing the Goddess of sex and physical pleasures? Hehehe But SmoothOperator’s ok, too. It’s just good to know that Bast didn’t actually disappear, but morphed into a different goddess.

[UncleBeer]

Hmmm, I didn’t know Bast meant all that. I suppose that we should have had a Priapus to go with Bast. Although we do have a Sucellus.

[dpr]

I think I may have had vowels once upon a time (but had to sell them in troubled times)

[vanilla]

Okay, I know I am seriously messing everything up here. But I decided I may as well go back to my original moniker of vanilla. I’m sorry kiffa!
I promise I will never change my user name again.
(Now can I have a Wally sig?)
