Name Amnesty Is Coming - Should I Change Names?
Every four years, Skinner offers name amnesty. Presumably, this is so those who chose "ILovePresident Kerry" can select a name more in keeping with the current election cycle.
Not that being "OmahaBlueDog" isn't fun and all. Not that I ever get screamed at (in a message board sense) for being part of a movement that is ruining the party; doesn't stand for anything; and encourages canines to be painted blue. Naw...this never happens.
So thought I'd come to you, The Lounge, to ask about changing my name. Frankly, I wanted to ask in Meta, but you can't run polls, and many of those folks have me on ignore, anyway.
Here are the nominees:
OmahaBlueDot: I didn't think of this. Someone else did. The idea is that Omaha is this small island of blue -- a dot, if you will -- in the very red state of Nebraska.
OmahaSteven: Omaha Steve is just a great DUer, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
John Holmes: It's not taken as a user name, and it makes the kind of statement I want to make to the ladies of the Lounge.
Juror #3: Let's face it, I'd always be a topic of discussion in Meta, and people could never really ignore me.
DLCLovingConservaDem: Some days I think to myself "I'm 'OmahaBlueDog', and on a site where folks like Ben Nelson are routinely condemned, I only have 12 star members ignoring me." I'm thinking this would fix that issue once and for all.
History of Feminism: What could be more fun in Meta than being Juror 3? If I chose this name, every post I made would go to the jury!
Cliquish Behavior: When I'd post, there would be cliquish behavior in the lounge.
Skinner: I'd just run around, making zany, random announcements about new directions this site will take. I might even bring back grovelbot.
Don't be an idiot. Keep the name. : After every amnesty period, there is an adjustment period involving much Advil while we all try to figure out the new names of old posters. Maybe you don't want this hassle?
I have a suggestion for a name: you shall be _______________ (please post below)

Mainly because I thought it said DL Clove Loving and then I stopped reading because,... Yay! Cloves! [url=http://www.cosgan.de/smilie.php][img]

your cool factor will increase tenfold 
--- his name in The Great Escape
Hilts 'The Cooler King'
Hilts King --- maybe 
his nickname was Bandito
more character names: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000537/
..and the threads about me in Meta could be truly breathtaking.
And, imagine the hilarity when people put me on their jury blacklist, only to see me keep popping up....this is increasingly something to consider 
"Shit Head" is a cool name, but I chose Juror #3 for you because I want "Shit Head" for myself
