So... I'm thinking about changing my screen name...

At first I was thinking about something direct like SmartmouthBitch, or ISuckingCock but I figured hey, why preach to the choir... Maybe you guys can help me come up with something with more panache, more class. What's two random words (or made up words) that I can throw together to make a new persona?

Unless you have had some legal entanglements, or else you feel that your screen name is too close to your real life name, changing your screen name would be a poor business decision, as long as you have a reputation for quality.

As an example of this, most people know who J.K. Rowling is, and can place her as the author of the harry Potter series. She's flippin rich, has some Hollywood pull, and is a celebrity of sorts.

Does any body know who Robert Gilbraith is?

Trick question: it's J.K. Rowling, writing under a different name.

Pro Tip: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

When injokes are made, it is an inherent hazard that some will not get them, especially those that are relatively new. <shrug>.

On the other hand, people have been known to change their names:

Anybody heard of Mr. (W)Hittner, or perhaps a Mr. Snoop Lion?

Then there's all the hooktards on BP who constantly change what they go by.

People get bored, they want to change stuff up, it's not out of the realm of possibility that the op, standing alone, could have been serious.

Meh. It's what I get for pulling the trigger on a reply without reading the whole thread. Never claimed to be perfect.

None = No one.

So, shouldn't it be 'is' and not 'are'?

For example:

No one is perfect.

No one of us is perfect.

None of us is perfect.
Hmmm
