Oh, I'm sorry. Would just 'Somewhere in between but way more fresher' be too long?

There you go and welcome to Domebo.
I've got nine, sort of. The neighbor's three cats like to come over and get petted and eat, we have three of our own, and there are three occasional kitties that come by once in a while to hang out and eat. There were five lounging on the back porch yesterday, fighting over the shade. :cool:Quote:

Tuna, or the sound of the can opener, or other such lures do not constitute cat herding; they're more akin to a hunter's moose call. Not at all the same thing. I have no trouble assembling all nine when they hear the Food Being Served sounds emanating from the Food Containing area. But pushing them ahead of me? They peel off like overripe banana skins.
:tongue:
Please, sir, may I have a different title? I would like to be Mayor of Funkytown, if it's not too much trouble. Then you may all address me as "Her Worship." :)
Well OK, Yer Worship.Quote:

I've got to make a move to a town that's right for me. Got any ideas?Quote:

Socks don't need titles. Sorry, it sounds like you already have one.Quote:

And now you go making up shit on the fly about socks "don't need" titles. God fucking dammit, I hate it when somebody tells me what I need and don't need. We've been over this before but you weren't listening.
If I already have one, as you say, then make it show up on both accounts. And please stop making up rules as you go along.
Please just give me the title I requested, as you have done for every account here when the title was work safe and board friendly. Thank you.
If Liberal's sock gets the title he requested just because he threw a tantrum, I want my "thinks dumbos are fags" title. It's only fair.Quote:

It's contrary to my understanding of the sock rule. I thought the idea was that socks were okay in a limited way so that, say, I could ask questions about my STDs without people learning what I have.Quote:

First, I did not know who Sockdolager belonged to. (Yes, really, I did not. Maybe CRSP knew, but I didn't.)Quote:

Second, I do exercise a little control over titles and I see no reason why socks should need one. It is extra work and a simple rule that socks don't get them is not unfair.
Third, titles are not a right or a perk. I have gone along with accomodating almost everyone on their choices as it was a fun and simple thing to do and was not using up too much time. I thought it was a pleasant little thing that I and now Sublight were doing for members. This was a friendly little thread and I really think you could have handled this better then the post you just made.
Fourth, I don't really understand the need for strong invective in a thread like this. What is the big deal. Were you feeling persecuted? Did you assume I was singling you out? If so why?
Let me add, I really don't appreciate getting abuse for something I went out of my way to do for the board pretty much on my own. I hope you understand it was not personal as I had no clue who Sockdolager was and even if I knew it was you or a troll instead my answer would be the same.
Wow, excellent post.Quote:

You've gone above and beyond in this and it's about time I said thank you.
Liberal,
Stop being such a big baby. Seriously.
Ditto on both of these comments. Liberal, what's your problem? Jim has been going out of his way to make this place fun for all of us. I think you owe him an apology for that unnecessary tirade.Quote:

Liberal, you are the complainingest, highest-maintenance poster here. What Exit? is not your servant. (He's not mine, either, and I truly appreciate the couple of changes he has made for me, and would understand if he told me to piss off if I request another one.)
It's a close up of that cat ass navel tattoo actually: http://news.bmezine.com/2007/05/08/cat- ... el-tattoo/
(not that it changes the unpleasant feel when you first look at it)
Woo! I'm a moooovin' and a shakin over here! Thanks :)
Haha, I like it. I actually PM'd him asking him what it was, saying that I couldn't shake the feeling I was looking at a cat's asshole. Turns out I was pretty close.Quote:

That's the World's Ugliest Dog, isn't it? No, I'm serious. That's the dog that won its last World's Ugliest Dog contest last year, if I recall correctly.

I resisted the urge to jump from the SDMB to here but a combination of boredom and curiosity drove me to check this place out at long last.
Then I spied this thread. How could I not sign up when the mods are passing out custom titles?
Alas, I seem to have run into minor technical difficulties. I wanted to sign up as Alastair Moonsong (note lack of underscore), the same name I use on the SDMB and, well, everywhere else on the internet. Unfortunately, I used my school email address when registering that name, and it, er... It ate the confirmation email. Auto-deleted. It's not in my Trash or Spam folders. Le sigh... So, anyway, I created this account using a different email address so's I could post.
Now that I've wasted roughly 12 to 15 seconds of your time, I'm wondering if perhaps a kind and benevolent Mod (See? I even capitalized it for you! Don't you feel compelled to help me now? :wink: ) can help me out by:
A)
- Deleting the unactivated Alastair Moonsong account.
- Editing this username to remove the Underscore character and just leaving a [Space] instead.
Or B)
- Activating the other account manually
- Deleting this one once I've had a chance to confirm the original account I wanted is in good working order.
Sorry to impose upon the staff on literally my first post, but I don't like knowing I have two accounts on the same board. I feel like I'm wasting something, be it bytes, bits, bandwidth, or what have you. And I hate substituting underscores for spaces in my Usernames...
And yes I know this should probably go in a different forum, but this thread is apparently being wached by The Authorities, and more importantly, I was hoping I might get a few people to chime in on some possible custom titles, in the hope that I might eventually get my grubby little paws on one of them. So far I've considered:
- Canis Unfamiliaris
- Cut-Rate Superhero
- Suburban Legend
- The Goon Squad
- Furry
- Diligently Striving for Mediocrity
- The Forces of Evil
- The Farces of Evil
- Legion of Doom
- Resident Wolf
- Snarkastic
As you can tell, I'm really bad at the whole "narrowing it down" thing. If anyone else out there likes anything on that list, feel free to snag it! I'd hate to see good titles go to waste!
Oh, and before I forget... *waves* Hiyas, all!
Oh noes.Quote:

Welcome over here! I'm pretty sure one of the admins can get your username problem sorted out in short order.
Much obliged to the both of you! And Excalibur, too, maybe. My online sarcasm detector shuts down after midnight, and between that and being new, I genuinely can't tell whether he's joking or really that much of a...
Nevermind.
