Well, as you just discovered, you can’t.
Sorry.

Actually, your name looks fine from here.

actually **TubaDiva** if I interpret our friend here correctly, they were looking to change the ‘look’ of their name on the thread pages, so for example, when you load up the ATMB list, you’d see their name with an alternate look (due to odd capitalization), and they did seem to succeed in that.
Or at least it looked that way to me. Maybe it’s time for my eye exam?

You’re right.
Screw the eyeglasses, I either need more coffee or scotch. I’m not sure which.

Well, I hope you enjoyed yourself, Nerd.

I refuse to click on any thread wherein the thread title or the poster’s name use all caps or a mixture purely for cutsyness or shock value.
Except for this one.
Oh, and Guinastasia, this stuffed lizard fettish of yours is getting out of hand. You might want to stop by and visit the good Dr. Paprika.

I was trying to choose the capitalized letters to embed a message. But I didn’t have much to work with.
“Ha Tool” and “Heed” probably didn’t mean much to anyone.

Hey, what about MY name? “SPOOFE” is an acronym (you find the MPSIMS threads to find out what the acronym stands for), and “Bo Diddly” is just a tack-on.

Thanks for the tip.

Well, actually, as a semi-hemi-demi-competent do-it-yourselfer, I find that if I shout at my tools, they frequently work better. I plan on trying, “Ha, tool! Heed!” the next time the hammer refuses to drive the nail as instructed.
I’ll let you know… 🙂

DDG - Never mind. I just made the connection.
SPOOFE - Too many acronym threads. I’ve been through a few to no result. Can you give us a link?

Oh dear.
Here in Oz, “spoof” is slang for “come” or “jism” or “manjuice” or “spunk” or whatever you call it.
“diddle” is a kind of repetitive jiggling movement.
So you can imagine what I always thought your pseudonym meant. It usually fits quite well with what you post, after all…

Hey, Redboss, I think I’ll start telling everyone THAT instead of the true story…
Who gives a crap about what some young twit like me did in Speech class, anyway? 🙂
