You know what, it's awful, but it would be sweet -- NOT the terrorism, per se, I wouldn't wish that on, it would leave them in quite a pickle, wouldn't it?

That response is understandable coming from a native of the only country that has probably lost more wars (and sporting events for that matter) than France.

Look, Markie's Markie again!  Guess the incognito got stale....
 
 And you know, I forgot who Bob Pollard was initially?  Ah well, what does it matter.  It took me weeks to figure out that Rhett Miller is not the actual Rhett Miller.

You mean to say it took you awhile to figure out that chatboard Rhett Miller is not the singer Rhett Miller?
 
 
 Because I've always been the same guy on the board. I never did any of that dual name shit that was going on on the board awhile back.

I would go back to andrew wk, but once you have used an alias it becomes blocked forever.

Yup, it took me a while to figure out you weren't the Old 97s singer.  I know, you haven't changed your name.  Bless you.  Though I think I could pick you out pretty quickly if you did!
 
 I'd love to change my name -- bags is an old college nickname that I've used in the past (so it's easy to remember), but too late now.  I didn't know we could change 'em before I started posting pretty regularly.  Doesn't make sense to change now.

 I guess so, its was good whilst it lasted.....
 
 Actually it was a shite name.
 
 I think I should be miserable git, or something like that instead. For now I think I will stick with Markie.
 
 I cant believe anyone thought Rhett was the real Rhett. Who has posted under about 20 different names. Bags you have much to learn.

In all fairness Markie, you didn't even know who the real Rhett Miller was.  Or my name for that matter!
 
 Good switch back to Markie, btw.

I admit it.  Let's hope I learn well and I learn fast.  But I will say, the name switching is a pain in the ass and so far I'm lost.  I guess if I were to meet everyone and hang out, like so many of y'all seem to.....  But then the mystery's gone.

Oh my god DAMN that was excellent -- but ggw isn't #1507!?!  
 
 I had noticed that the member # doesn't change, but am not quite crazed enough to chase down member numbers in old threads.  I'm nuts, but that would be beyond the pale.
 
 Though I am talking about flying to L.A. to go to Amoeba records.  Yes, a record store.
 
 Still, I'm not hunging down #469 or #1507 or....well, you get it.

Plus, Bob, when you change your user name, it changes in *every* thread for *all* your postings.
 
 **I was wrong, only changes in that thread.  I'm taking a nap now.**
     :p
 
 One question -- you can always go back to your user name though, right?
