First off, you people with the Czarcasm name–get outta here! You can have the next one–I almost got this puppy wrapped up! **slythe** , darling, you may call yourself _The Chicken of Bristol_ if you like or the original _Chicken of Bristol_. I will be devoted to you no matter which you choose! **Ayesha** –I never stopped loving you! Of course, now that you’ve voted for my name, I love you even more! Now, **Twisty** , you know I love you! And I promise to be more vigilant about the whole cyberbitch thing from now on. Of course you realize that this means more Duran Duran postcards? Now, if I count correctly (there’s a first time for everything), I see that there are roughly 34-35 votes for _Chicken of Bristol_ (or _The Chicken of Bristol_) Not a bad turnout! I’d like to thank some people for voting (even if our esteemed moderator decides to choose another, not-so-clever name…): **Crunchy Frog** –for the suggestion! **Geobabe Tzel Coldie tater blur spooje Spoofe Tansu Twisty dantheman Zumba The Cat Osip don Jaime Tommy the Cat Jimmy Nipples**–I secretly love you too! 😉 **Bunny Girl Green Bean Sterling North Cantrip Balance**– \>smooch\< 😉 **broccoli! Dinsdale Tymp IJGrieve TVeblen Ukulele Ike Ayesha evilskippy Upham Tabithina woolly jmullaney** and **Kat** –even though she’s just leaning! 😉 And a special thanks goes to **Oicu812** for wishing me the honorary title even if he/she did not vote for my name! Oh, I’m sorry, was this **slythe** ’s thread? ---

Yes! I like **Czarcasm** much better than **Bristol Farms Chicken** (or whatever - LOL). I officially change my vote (and promise not to change it again) to **Czarcasm**. ---

Is it too late to vote? **slythe** , I urge you to go with **Chicken of Bristol** – and not just because I feel the need to suck up to **evilbeth**. 😉 Personally, I think **CoB** is an elegant name that is intimidating enough to fit a moderator with such awesome powers as yourself. ---

**Shayna** dear, you obviously don’t know how important this is to **evilbeth**. She offered the name to me when I was going to change names and things were taking a Monty Pythonesque turn in the suggestions. I teased her by posting that I was deciding between Chicken of Bristol and my current username. Since then, she has offered the name to almost everyone who’s asked for ideas and been rejected everytime. This is her best chance (as many people seem to be voting for it) and it would be for a _moderator_ no less! Anyway, that’s the story behind why **evilbeth** is rooting for this name so badly, just in case anyone was interested. ---

**evilbeth** I’m sure you want bad, but I do as well. Thank you Shayna for changing your vote and thank the rest of you who are voting for Czarcasm. Slythe, I **emplore** you to choose Czarcasm. Thank you all so far. ---

There seems to be a misunderstanding here. I’m not picking my new name. _You_ are. Whichever one gets the most votes by 10pm Friday, folks. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by jmullaney \* > **The wise Sir Bedevere was the first to join King Arthur’s Knights, but other illustrious names were soon to follow: Sir Launcelot the Brave, Sir Gallahad the Pure, and Sir Robin the-not-quite-so-brave-as-Sir-Launcelot, who had nearly fought the Dragon of Angnor, who had nearly stood up to the vicious Chicken of Bristol, and who had personally wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill, and the aptly named Sir Not-appearing-in-this-film. Together they formed a band whose names and deeds were to be retOld throughout the centuries: the Knights of the Round Table.** Yep. This snippet definitely deserves to be inspiration for Slythe’s new name. Accordingly, I’m voting for **“Personally Wet Himself”**. 😛 ---

I retract my earlier suggestions and hereby officially endorse **Czarcasm** as **slythe** ’s new name. It’s a great name! Sorry, **evilbeth**. ---

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa… hold on there people. You can’t take back a vote. There’s no “do-over’s” in a poll. You clicked your name, you punched your (eeep! dare I say it…) chad, it’s done. Finito. Now you just have to wait and see what happens and hope more people vote for Czarcasm instead of Chicken of Bristol. I realise this is up to (the currently nicked) **Slythe** to decide, but I say once you voted - you voted. punk snot dead, broccoli! ---

_Think_ a moment people. Do you want to see “IMHO: Moderated by **Chicken of Bristol** ” on the front page? Do you want to see calming exhortations framed with [moderator head on] / [moderator head off]? Do you want to see [edited to fix link, 7.01 by **Chicken of Bristol**] inserted into _your very own posts_? I think you do. I know I do. If not for yourself, vote for the fair city of Bristol. And the chickens. ---

Slythe: what a beautiful set of names to choose from. You must feel very special right about now. A few to add to the hopper: **OozingBubo** **’taint** **PiltdownSummit** **OneTinyThinMint** **SemenTMixer** **WillieGarage** Good luck, we’re counting on you. The longer you wait the harder it will be to choose. A this mid-life crises stage, a new handle is certainly cheaper, safer, and less of a cliche than a new red sports car. ---

Why don’t you close off the suggestions and open a new thread for voting on either **Chicken of Bristol** or **Czarcasm**? That would be the final vote (think of this thread as the primary!), no changing, no new suggestions. But if you don’t, my vote is for **Czarcasm**. (Sorry, **evilbeth** , I appreciate your crusade, but I think **Czarcasm** suits a mod better. Hey! Why don’t YOU change your name to **Chicken of Bristol**? What’s stopping you?) 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-re-name-the-moderator-contest/49291.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-re-name-the-moderator-contest/49291.md?page=7)
