I have a question for evilbeth: Would that be _Chicken of Bristol_, or _The Chicken of Bristol_? ---

Well, much as I’m leaning towards **Chicken of Bristol** and **Slythe** , I made a promise to myself that I’d suggest the following two names: **Snerheb** and **Futsu**. Don’t ask where they came from. 😉 For more deity names: how about **Balder** or **Queszalcoatl**? ---

I must say that I really like the suggested **Czarcasm** as a username, and it does seem to have that slight tone of imperiousness necessary for a moderator! 😉 ---

I agree. Czarcasm just SHOULD be a mod! ---

Nice ta see ya, Krispy. Thought you might get a kick out of this. 🙂 _Czarcasm_ does have a nice ring to it, but unless a groundswell of support comes in (hint, hint!!), it looks like _Chicken of Bristol_ could be the winner. ---

I must say **Czarcasm** sounds good. I hear Chicken of Bristol and I think of Bristal Farms. **Czarcasm! Czarcasm! Czarcasm!** 🙂 ---

I’ve always liked the name Tempest. Of course, with 10000+ users, I’d be surprised if that name wasn’t taken already. ---

If you’re looking for something that sounds more dignified, there’s always “Ozymandius”. It certainly carries the necessary arrogance. You could cow newbies and be mocked by the literati (then edit out their sly jibes). Subtract 1/2 vote from Chicken of Bristol and 1/2 for Ozymandius. Or not. ---

That would be “and _add_ 1/2 for ‘Ozymandius’”. Or maybe that funny word that starts with a “P”; now, what was it…oh, yeah, “Preview”! ---

_ **Czarcasm** _ gets my vote, if you must change. I’m particularly partial to the name you already have, though. It makes me think of the Lewis Carroll thing, too. ---
