Nope, [different target audience](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_(TV_series))! I still have that little ditty in my head after watching that show with my kids some twenty years ago.

Did they make him cuter for the TV show? We had both older and newer books, so all of them look familiar.

Is Arthur related to the [Laarge Daark Aardvark](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-L9bI7mZFI)?

Arthur did not live in a zoo. Arthur lived in a house with his family, and went to school and to the library (knowing where the informative information is kept).

I had no idea that people knew so many aardvarks.

He re-posted, as recommended, in the Pit (no, I’m not going to link to it). And the usual suspects just can’t resist engaging with him there.

That’s pretty much what he does all over the board.

**Lickety Split** has been banned, and his Pit thread and his threadshit in the Adam West thread have been cornfielded. 😃

I like that he picked a username that foreshadowed the speed of his banning. 😃

This makes me wonder–think that there are trolls that are good enough at modifying their writing style and pet subjects that they can long-term keep multiple accounts without being noticed?

On a forum dedicated to ebooks and ebook readers there was once this evangelist for ebooks being a Very Bad Thing that showed up. His behavior as a single account was clueless enough, but then he started opening obvious socks to agree with himself. I made it a minor hobby to report them and get them banned. I remember one thread alone with only around 30 posts where he was FOUR of the posters under different names–but he wasn’t intelligent or self-aware enough to not leave behind clear signs to his identity.

Anyone who uses the term “potty mouth” in the Pit doesn’t belong here. And you can eat shit, asshole.
