Right then. Let the renaming begin!
I want to change my username because I got it from a guy who fuck him. No idea what I want to use. DB has been proposed.

Make your suggestions. I shall snort derisively, make a poll, and pick something else.

That was the first song I ever played on a jukebox, one of those little table mounted jobbies in a Shakey's pizza parlor in San Rafael. Man, I am SO old!

Bradley herself is wildly problematical, unfortunately, on account of being a vicious child molester. Sure makes rereading her work feel skanky and queasy.

The more I read about her and her husband the more horrific it gets.

There's always Storm from the X-Men. She's a boss bitch.

@stormie you might want to weigh in on the sort of name you want, otherwise you're going to completely end up being named Grrsnurf

I love Margaret Ball, because she wrote "Mathemagics" n stuff. She coauthored one with MZB and I was 'well that's ick' but never knew why
That's why. I had no idea.
