I suppose I’ll get used to the new handle, but I’ll still think of you every time I see an olive goose-stepping.  
mmm

Even if Zoid thinks that it sucks that I have taken this name.

Great. _Another_ superhero reboot!

Congratulations, and prepare yourself to be forever known as **Olive Weasel** in certain jerk circles.

Hey, weaseling is what separates us from the animals. Except the weasel.

I really hope jerk circles aren’t anything like… never mind. Forget I mentioned it.

Anyway, hooray for Spice Weasel! An excellent choice.

I’ll say… I can’t believe you put so much out there.

O - Clearly your name starts with an O  
lives - Well where you live  
Mar - The Sea  
Ch - China  
4th - Four Teeth

So you live near the South China Sea, have only 4 teeth and have a name with an O somewhere in it.

I’ll be knocking on your door in a few minutes.

You know back in my day we didn’t have no Spice Weasels. We had to do with Olives and such. And we liked it!

And Stay off my lawn!

Martini Olives in massive formation. With a toothpick slung over one shoulder. I shall miss that mental picture.

But but but … who will continue the March of Olives? Piquant stuffings need to know.

That mattered a lot less when I was a little Dopeling in 2007, but the older I get, the more compelled I feel to care about stuff like that. So on the Dope and only on the Dope I am henceforth known as Spice Weasel.

Huh.

I thought "Weasel Spice was the forgotten sixth Spice Girl, who never got the recognition she deserved.

You know, like Gummo.

An old handle you’ve now immortalized in the subject line of this thread. 😉

When Olives comes marching 4th again  
Hurrah! Hurrah!  
We’ll give her a hearty welcome then  
Hurrah! Hurrah!  
The men will cheer and the boys will shout  
The ladies they will all turn out  
And we always love when  
Olives comes marching 4th.

```
But now we must all bid adieu
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Her name has changed - our song must too,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
And now we must all learn to say
Oh hail Spice Weasel lead our way
But we'll still remember
Olives on March the 4th.

Get ready for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give the hero three times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The Doper's wreath is ready now
To place upon her loyal brow
And we'll make Spice Weasel
Eat olives on march the 4th.

```

Um… terribly sorry… I don’t know what came over me! 😛

Did you know if you play olivesmarch4th backwards it sounds like “the 4chan (board) is evil, yo”?
