name changes for DUmmies, primitives
« on: January 22, 2009, 04:25:17 PM »
Okay, the first one we have is for the sparkling husband primitive, once known as the "Husb2Sparkly" DUmmie.

His new name is "Stinky the Clown."

One wonders where he came up with that one.

Anyway, if anyone notices a primitive, or a DUmmie, changed a name, post it here.

No link, no copying-and-pasting of any comment needed; just the information:

"former screen name" - "new screen name."

That's all we need.

OMG, You're kidding...Stinky the Clown! Must be all that time he spends in a small room with the cat box.

Do they lose post counts or prominence with a name change? Do the other primates on the island recognize them?

No, they keep all of their vital statistics, despite the name changes.

Other primitives recognize them because for a while, the signature lines of the primitives who've changed names reveal their former screen-names.

One hopes Doug's ex-wife changes hers, as "sfexpat2000" looks nothing more like alphabet-soup vomited up by an infant.  It's just a really stupid name.

Thank you, madam.

It's going to take some ingenuity for me to re-baptize some of these with more appropriate names, but I'm up to it.

You are quite welcome!

I'm marking them down as I will never remember them all.

I'm really disappointed the hypochondrial frog primitive, the "HypnoToad" primitive, changed his name.

"Deja Q," his new name, is really stupid.

I think that the people with an account there can actually see the text similar to  "This is the DUer formally known as xyz" as part of the signature.

You know, I am really disappointed in the primitives with this.

And by the way, a big heartfelt "thanks" to all who've kept their eyes open on this name-change thing.

Anyway, when my fellow alum Skins announced the opportunity for primitives to change their names, I thought it was a good idea; the primitives with really stupid screen-names would then change them to something more imaginative.

What's happened is that the primitives with "not great, but okay" screen-names appear to have changed them to stupid, and stupider, screen-names.

Thus Skins's island descending even deeper into the depths of stupidity.

The effect's been pretty much zilch.

As I've oftentimes mentioned, primitives paint pictures of themselves with words.

Forever engraved on this mind is the sparkling husband primitive, whose self-portrait was that of an older Italianate guy, slightly balding, his pants down, glumly sitting on the commode, his elbows on his knees and his chin cupped in his hands, sullenly watching as the cat does a number two in the litter box on the opposite end of the room.

That's the "picture" he gave of himself, as "Husb2Sparkly."

Well, now he's "Stinky the Clown."

And now forever engraved on this mind is the stinking clown primitive, whose self-portrait is that of.....a clown, painted face, big red nose, floppy shoes, his pants down, glumly sitting on the commode, his elbows on his knees and his chin cupped in his hands, sullenly watching as the cat does a number two in the litter box on the opposite end of the room.

At the same time, I think I've contributed in some small way in my time here.
