OK, just so you know, I'm rolling my eyes at myself.

Could a stompy please change my name to majipen? Just for a little while... because sometimes you're showing a cool blurb about a book in a magazine to one person, and then another nosy person comes along, and, well, what can you do? It's not even like I post anything worthy of anyone snooping, it's just... some people, I don't want up in my business, as it were, no matter how boring that business is. And this person is a total snooper! And the blurb lists our web address. Oy. People (myself included).

Thanks.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You got it, majipen!

Normal practice is to put the old name in your tag for a while, but if the snoopiness is too snoopy for that, jst leave us a hint.

Thanks! If the tag is too vague or annoying, I can be more explicit.

ETA: Wow, that's weird and trippy, seeing me-yet-not-me up there.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

What is even happening?

If you're who I think you are, your old name was probably better protection, because we had umpteen hundred of you.

Well, yeah, but not so much anymore. And I figure there's really only so far back one would go before getting seriously bored trying to flush someone out if it weren't pretty immediately obvious. Uh, no offense to us and our scintillating conversations. Muffaletta cilantro, salad shooter. Serial comma.

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

Muffaletta cilantro, salad shooter. Serial comma.

I believe the original brilliant riff began with paperdol herself doing birdcalls. And, one cannot mention the salad shooter without mentioning the sweaters made from same.

(I have no idea who majipen is! So, the disguise works! But possibly only on the clueless.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm all for anonymity.
