Happy to move it if y'all want.

It's rude and unfair to Rus to say things like that, Ali. Please edit your post to say "I'm leery of throwing it into Chesterton's and Lewis's orbit".

You have a good point, dAN....

Who is this 'dAN' everybody talks about?

Well its like when Prince changed his name to some unpronounceable symbol. People still continued to call him Prince or at least refer to him as Prince when not in his direct company. See, calling you ________ is kind of a mess and actually typing out "the man with no name" is really asking a lot.

We could call you Pigeon instead...

While it would be appropriate to call aTOMiC 'Pidgeon', it doesn't answer my question.

I've lost track. What was your question again?

Gee I don't think that's such a good idea.

I had my IP checked my last Dr. visit. After looking it over a bit he told me it was fine. A few extra visits to the lew during the night is common at my age.

Fascinating.

Uh, yeah. Perhaps that was TMI, Mr, Pigeon, sir...

I believe it's spelled 'loo'. I have an uncle named Lew (yes, I really do) and I doubt he'd appreciate you using his name in this fashion. I find it interesting that an accomplished author such as yourself has such a difficult time spelling a three-lettered word.

How many of you are there?

You know, I got really confused just before: saw the dANdeLION avatar and name and then said to myself "but I thought that he who has no name was dAN?" Then I figured that they're probably one of the same...

...but if he who has no name (and who is also dANdeLION) is ALSO Dan pigeon should we be worried...ya know...coz he's having conversations with himself....

Just so we all know, if this does somehow end up in the Close, I'll edit every post and make it blank.

Well, every post after my only other post in the thread. (Also Syl's, because I don't want him taking revenge on Surya.)
