Ooh, haven't you got a long one all of a sudden?

Don't know if it's the impending Christmas season, some kind of optimism about the economy or just sheer bling-bling, but haven't we started getting a bit ostentatious with our fiction suit names?

I mean, we expect Haus to go a bit crackers, but his current one's possibly approaching a record:

The little Haus just off the interstate where you can mount the face without mounting up costs

And then there's:

auszilla for dummies, with yet-to-be-determined superpowers

And the slightly more modest:

who dares awaken Count Adam from his ancient slumber?

I must say, I'm feeling positively inadequate, although I would possibly get quite a respectable Scrabble score on a triple word tile space.

So, what's occurring, alphabet-guzzlers?

Dunno, Sax, but I know how you feel. Maybe I should switch to Deva The Ginger Bureaucrat For The Revolution?

Go for it, Deva. For one day only, have the fiction suit of your dreams. I have.

I thought I wanted a longer name for a while, and thus became Batman's Pal Gridley, but after a while I got bored with it. Perhaps the problem was that it wasn't quite long enough. Perhaps I need to push it into sentence length....

I'm just pleased that I'm able to incorporate my name w/a line from a Peter Jackson movie. Makes my day, it does.

Relax, Sax, you're obviously a grower not a shower. In Scotland they say guid gear comes in sma' bundles.

At least on this dignified board we don't have to wait through paragraphs of "signature".

I know! Believe me, I know! What do I do? I can't get it to look right! I know the apostrophe's wrong, but it looks the least wrong of the various permutations I've tried. If you know how to do it properly, please inform this sorry soul...

You just take the one out of "Deric's". What with it being a plural an' all.

Unless, of course, yours actually don't. (I know mine do.)

(in reference to soon-to-be former username "Deric's Don't Run!") Mine do, occasionally. Perhaps I should speak to my doctor about that.

I will take out that particular apostrophe, so as to alleviate confusion. Still doesn't look quite right to me for some reason, though. Maybe it's just the appendage, sans boundaries, of an extra letter to my name that makes me so uneasy...

I have a long name now! Does this mean I'm in the club? Huh, guys?

I don't know, Barry. You're name may be just a bit too big for you to "fit in". If you know what I mean.

I just want attention.

...and now I have it, and am cackling and rubbing my hands diabolically.

Oh Good! Now I can start using my whole name; I bravely present Woodswalker, he who communes deeply with nature, but generally just the parts that look pretty.
