As did many, it seems.

Alllll the way back on January 20th I changed my handle to Mockingbird.

If one doesn’t read the posted notices, I find it hard to see how one can know anything that goes on here.

Thus, Duke can eat shit for the aspersions he cast at me in the stray gonad thread.

Is this pit thread about Hastert, Speaker of the House, or **Mockingbird** , formerly known as **Hastur**? Does this thread even have a reason for existing?

I believe the golfer in question is TJ555 The Golfer, who recently starred in the Pit thread “Damn Bitch, Why Should I Take a Shower, We Are Not Having Sex.”
