Like **MBG** , I have a 3-initial abbreviation, which I don’t mind. Except that I can’t vanity-search it. So I’m probably neglecting my many fan by not responding to adulation and stuff. So sad… ---

[QUOTE=LiveOnAPlane] LiveOnAPlane, slinks off, head bowed in shame… [/QUOTE] We could call you Snake. wait… do the snakes live on the plane, or are they just visiting? eh. doesn’t matter. I got lucky. I could opena nickname shop with all mine. Hey, anyone want one? I’ve got Dot, Dottie, Dots, Dotster, Dotalina, SurrenderDot, So-and-So, Whatserface, and The Ugly One. They’re a buck apiece. They’re all for sale.\* From here on in, I shall be known only as: **.** ---

[QUOTE=Jayn\_Newell] Well, I wasn’t, but since you mentioned it, care to share? [/QUOTE] It’s a perfect booby thing combined with a long-standing **Anaamika** flirt thing. ---

I’m not sure, because I’ve never tried, but I’m guessing it comes in under the minimum character requirement. But I don’t care. “Ex” is still better than “dipshit”. ---

[QUOTE=What Exit?] Is that Ralph, as in Kramden? Not bad. But what is wrong with just **MBG**? Next you will want a nickname for LOUNE\*instead of his initials. 😉 Jim \*\*\*Least Original User Name Ever \*\* [/QUOTE] Yes! Kramden - That’s who I imagine when I see his name. ---
