Gimme a break. We rename Davids all the time.
eta: From the FAQ
Q. Who are Manservant Hecubus and Knut the Difficult?
A. Dana started it. We have quite a few David-type people and Dana noted this on the thread, and proceeded to rename the offending Davids. David Schwartz became Knut the Difficult, David S. became Manservant Hecubus. Hilarity ensued.
Here's how it went down:
Dana D. - B.3.650: David Rothschild (we have entirely too many Davids around here, between Smay, Schwartz, and Rothschild. I demand that two of you rename yourselves to Lucien and Joshua), I *loved* that movie. Bloody brilliant stuff. [The movie in question was Being John Malkovich.]
David S. - B.3.651: I apologize sincerely for my Davidness and hereby rename myself Dana.
David J. Schwartz - B.3.661: Lucien? Joshua? No. I prefer to be called by my viking sobriquet, Knut Hoarfrost.
Susan O - B.3.672: So who is Joshua and who is Lucien? And can we all join in a chorus of "These are the Daves I Know" from the Kids in the Hall?
Dana D. - B.3.673: Well, David Schwartz insisted on being difficult, so now he's Knut.
Valarie Cook - B.3.689: (De-lurking) so David Swartz is now going to be known as Knut the Difficult?
Dana D. - B.3.690: I like it. So it is written, so shall it be.
David S. - B.3.692: Well, I'm damn sure not going to be Lucien. If David Schwartz gets to be Knut the Difficult, then I want to be Manservant Hecubus.
