In the [John Oliver/Mike Pence thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=851355), I noticed a post from long-time poster **Inigo Montoya**. I had to check to make sure I wasn’t looking at a zombie thread (which didn’t make sense anyway… the subject was too recent) and also checked the user profile. Sure enough, there was the old tag line “On the level, if inclined.”

What threw me is that I remember Inigo changing his user name several years ago to **The Great Sun Jester**. I don’t think I ever remember a user changing their user name, then changing it back. Although I have to say, in this case I much prefer the original.

Welcome back **Inigo**!

I guess that Dread Pirate Roberts gig ran its course. A man can rob, pillage and rape only for so long.

Nope, one solid, hunk of testosterone-fueled manflesh. That’s why “I think I just ovulated” was funny–I found myself in the presence of something an order of magnitude more masculine than I, and my body wanted to have its baby. Ah well, it was funny to me, but have I ever really existed to amuse anyone but myself? Be honest.

Revoltingly self-indulgent explanation:

But yeah. Sorry for the confusion. Sun Jester was, I guess, an attempt to distance myself from the madness that consumed Inigo. Yes, it was a superficial change with little outward value, but it also mirrored some real life changes/improvements and actually helped me focus somewhat. The Great Sun Jester remains a very powerful symbol for me as it reflects my conscious effort to harness and redirect a condition that dictated and wrought havoc on my life. However, I have since learned to moderate the lunacy to the extent it is now safe to embrace it. So, back to Inigo.

Also, I intentionally bricked my account a couple years ago (you’re grateful, trust me) and B-Rad was born of a miscommunication with Admin to repair it. B-Rad 's posts have been merged with Inigo’s.

I’m square with Admin, and am grateful for their patience.

And frankly, this place has gotten a bit tense. I’d like to do what I can to fix that.

Well we could all do with a bit of de-tensing (past-tensing?). Welcome back.

In other news, has anyone noticed that The Dread Pirate Roberts hasn’t been seen in recent weeks?

Yeah…like nearly 939 weeks. When he shared a thread with Princess Buttercup. 🙂 Silly days.

Are we to assume that **Inigo Montoya** has now killed **The Great Sun Jester**?

Welcome back. Whatever name you use, I missed your posts.
