Chicken of Bristol  
Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space  
Master of Czinanju  
He’s a Smooth  
Chilled Arrogant Bastard  
Have Goat, Will Travel  
Moderator? I hardly knew 'er!  
Your Friendly Neighborhood  
Master of the Czarcastic

Will this list do for the poll?

Someone’s going to have to explain the Bristol Chicken to me though. Apparently I missed it the first time around.

Okay, i just really wanted to say that and had no real chance ever to use it. But it’s what I think when I glance at your name. Why not just add to the subversion for everyone else? 😃
