Truly mundane and pointeless but: Dear smeggy and mega the roo: Hi. Are you both named Meg in real life? If so, do you think it’s a little odd that we ALL used “meg” in our usernames? Do we like our collective name that much? Is there some general propensity of Megs to incorporate their name when creating pseudonyms? If you’re not Megs, then never mind, happy holiday season, ignore me, I’m going home. -Beefymeg * * * Sucks to your assmar. ---

my name is megan, so close enough. it kind of transformed it’s way into megaroo a while ago, and then i somehow split it up into the three. mega the roo. and i don’t mind the name meg for others, but as for me, i’d much prefer to be called megan. but all the same, the meg is there. so maybe it’s a disease we have or something… who knows. 🙂 * * * “human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust; we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.” - albert einstein ---

Thanks, Roo! I’m actually a Megan too - the only reason I’ve evolved to Meg is my last name. My betrothed calles me Megaroo, along with several other mutations. 🙂 * * * Sucks to your assmar. ---

Oh, piss off, **Omni**. You may have noticed (or not) that the board broke down earlier today, starting with MPSIMS. Everyone who tried to post during that time has been plagued with multiple posts. Half the threads in the forum are messed up, and a not small number of threads elsewhere on the board. Feel free to check for examples. Sheesh! Did your girlfriend leave you or sumpin? * * * Livin’ on Tums, Vitamin E and Rogaine ---
