> [@Q.E.D.](#): > > Folks, we have a winner… What? You mean ABR finally chose a new moniker? And it’s **Black Powder Bear Boxing ?** Well, I’ll drink to that. So, is _Atomic Badger Racing_ up for grabs? Or, maybe not right away? Or, is it like race horses, where a name can be used but once? For a guy from Indiana, don’t I ask a lotta questions? ---

Don’t change it. Especially after this thread, it’s priceless. Plus, I call Mr. Toes ‘badger’ as a term of endearment. So your moniker makes me smile. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-i-change-my-user-name/207124.md?page=1)
