It’s so very evenly split! There are 5 options that are all within a few points of each other… It’ll be a close one!

IIRC, Chicken of Bristol was first suggested as a good user name way back when slythe was changing his name - to Czarcasm, if memory serves.

Why 4:04? That seems oddly specific. That makes me very angry. Very angry indeed.

I’m confused. Are you asking for a new title (i.e., moderator)? or, new “handle” (i.e., Czarcasm). If the latter, I thought the rules of SD did not permit one to change “handles” nor have multiple accounts under different names (if one were ever found to be doing so).

None of them strike me as right for you, but I voted for the goat one.

I think it should be something that addresses the confusion between sarcasm and irony. I will give it a bit of thought.
