All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Is this to make the name search easier?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

t bwah

Yes. Also, there is some truth in the thing.

C'mon. If Scrappy and Perkins can go back and forth among their noms de plume, there is no reason I cannot assume a more accurate appelation.

I'm assuming you're serious, Gus.

Done.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I suppose it's not really an abuse of Stompy power if you just take someone at their word.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

No, it isn't.

But supposing Mr. ThreadKiller is not expecting his name to be ThreadKiller... he wouldn't be able to log in as Gus anymore, would he?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Er, for the record o ye namechangers? The above exchange looked, for posterity, like this:

Threadkiller: can I have my name changed to Threadkiller, please?

Stompy: OK.

many others: Wow, isn't that exciting. Talk talk talk.

one last person: Oh by the way, here is the implication that Threadkiller is the artist weremonkey formerly known as Gus.

Explanatory taglines serve the public good! Friends don't let friends name-change without publicity! (Okay, you might, but only in rare cases, and expect a lot of "Who are YOU??")

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Stompy: OK.

The Stompy did address ThreadKiller as Gus, though.

I'm assuming you're serious, Gus.

Although your point about explanatory taglines still stands.

And did so intentionally, he might add.
