Is it okay? When I logged on this afternoon I saw the following, and it made me chuckle: _Welcome to our newest member, **Holy Shit I Like Pie** _ Quasi:rolleyes: ---

Well, at least it wasn’t an _American Pie_ reference! :eek: ---

I for one think that is an awesome user name, but I can also see why you wouldn’t allow it. Hehe, that may become a personal motto… LC ---

The best username I ever saw around here was Smartass. I drooled at the thought of addressing him in Great Debates. “That’s an interesting theory, Smartass.” What ever happened to that guy? ---

If it had been a ref to AMERICAN PIE, this thread would have been moved to the Cafe Society Forum… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by C K Dexter Haven \* > \*\*If it had been a ref to AMERICAN PIE, this thread would have been moved to the Cafe Society Forum… \*\* I thought the fine art of cookery was also included in Cafe Society, so that would be the forum for pie in any of its manifestations. ---

Unless it’s in the manifestation without the final e, in which case it’d probably go in GQ. That’s where most of the [symbol]p[/symbol] questions end up. ---

Excuse me, Chronos, but what about the dispute on the seemingly obvious superiority of _e_ over [symbol]p[/symbol]? I think that should go in Great Debates. ---

I woke up in the middle of the night and started laughing because of the nick **Holy Shit I Like Pie**. I think it should be allowed. No piece of genius, even if it is profane, should be squashed. ---

Genius? Aren’t you belittling the achievements of, for example, a Stephen Hawking when all it takes to be a genius is to sign up with a funny nickname at a message board? ---

Why, yes, I am. Actually, I don’t consider the name to be genius (and I certainly didn’t mean to imply that HSILP himself to be a genius just because he made a funny). But I do think it is a clever name – there are several reasons it’s funny, all packed in a 5-word phrase, giving the humor lasting power. And for that I think he should be allowed to keep it. But I’m like that. ---
