Keep Lemay. If anyone doesn’t like it, you can bomb them back to the stone age. ---

> [@Curtis LeMay](#): > > By that I mean keep my current username. No, sorry, my vote was specifically for you to change your user name to **Keep Curtis LeMay**. If you’re not going to actually consider that a valid poll option, then I think the entire poll is invalid and you should start over. But actually I think you should go with **Keep Curtis LeMay** because that would be awesome. ---

I’ve got to go with **I Love Me, Vol 1** ’s suggestion. It wasn’t what you meant, but now that **Keep Curtis LeMay** is on the table, you have to use it! It’s new, but we’ll still recognise you - and it’s funny. I also liked his suggestion of **I, Kid** , though not as much as I like **Keep Curtis LeMay**. So that’s what I’m voting for. ---

I also voted for **Keep Curtis Lemay** -it appeals to me the same way “Save Ferris” does. ---

Another vote for ‘ **Keep Curtis Lemay** ’. It’s too good not to have, and the legend is built in. ---

Cowboy Curtis LeMay: authoritative but with a whimsical touch. ---

Why are you considering changing your screen name? Anyway, **Curtis LeMay** seems to fit just about perfectly. **Keep Curtis LeMay** would be pretty neat, but I’m not sure you’ve displayed anything like the level of ironic detachment that such a name implies – could be confusing. ---

**Phil Sheridan**? [**Lawful Evil**](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LawfulEvil)? [**Knight Templar**](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KnightTemplar)? This is not to call the OP evil, mind you (he’s not), but by the standards of the SDMB his opinions would definitely place him within that character alignment, and it would just be too cool if he were to label himself as such. ---
