The best that can be said is that yours is a nonsensical, junky post. Good job.

This all reminds me of George Carlin’s famous monologue on the difference between “shit” and “stuff.” If it belongs to someone else, it’s shit; if it belongs to you, it’s stuff. Anyway, now that the daunting first post is out of the way, hopefully more people will post some shit…er, stuff.

Here’s a question… should I change my posted identity so when I write that I show up as Mel B. rather than dreams? Just curious how everyone else felt.
We have a Matt, Todd and oddly enough, DHALGREN.

I guess it depends on how you want to be known. I like using real first names, but others might feel differently.

I happen to have become attached to Mel B. It also helps clear any possible confusion between the other Melissa in this community.
So I like Mel B. more than dreams, for instance, or dhalgren.

I saw your original comment through my gmail, which asks where the el B. part came in. I think the coding symbol negated it.
Anyway, the Mel B. comes from a friend and former colleague (someone you might know, peripherally.) It was originally a name I hated, because he used it to tease me in connection to a pop culture reference at the time. But I’ve grown attached to it, and is useful as an Internet nickname.

You could go for Tod C. That works! I remember how you used to use Tod a lot.
