What should I do!?!?!

Poll question: What should I do!?!?!

I just got another email from someone in the Far East. He originally introduced himself as Wayne. However, after a brief exchange, he now tells me his real name is Wuji. Should I:

Tell him I think Wuji is a stupid name--It is!--and that he should stick with Wayne?	(4 votes, 67%)	Vote
Let it ride and hope that he'll figure out Wuji is a stupid name without my input.	(2 votes, 33%)	Vote

1. What's the Domain Name?

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

3. Domain name for what?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

5. The email.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

6. Well, I'm def. not gonna give that out

after what happened last week with the video wall guy?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

7. You can PM me.

[youspeakmylanguage]

11. What happened last week?!?!

That sounds juicy!

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

Uhhhh lemme look....

Edit: Okay, I would not find the thread with the guy who made the video wall for a right wing convention and "customized" the images. If anyone can find the thread, please post the link.

Basically the guy pulled a little prank and was planning something a little more impactful (but my no means dangerous). He posted too much info about the convention, i.e. the city, state and facilty name perhaps, and Freepers called the facility to warn them. The facility tracked the DUer's employer down and he ended up getting fired. I think his handle is WallGuy.

35. Oh...

That sucks.

[redqueen]

2. I think it's a cute name.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

4. It's not cute; it's stupid. (nt)

[redqueen]

9. No, it isn't... it's cute!

It sounds great! Wuji Wuji Wuji... I love it.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

10. RedQueeeeeeeen......

I'll get you for this!!!

[redqueen]

13. hehehehehehe

Promise?

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

16. Ooh, I like the sound of that. ;)

Too bad you're 1000 miles away.

[redqueen]

19. HAHAHAHAH

I just noticed your sig...

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

21. Glad you liked it....So, did you buy one?

I co-wrote most of the songs on there with a guy named Wuji. Does that add extra incentive?

[redqueen]

23. No

Not yet...

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

29. Chavez did the cover art;

KoolZip played bass; the name of the band is NOT the Human Race. What are you waiting for!?!!?

PS: Did you ever notice that the proper way to phrase that question is "For what are you waiting?"

[redqueen]

31. Oh I want one!

I just can't get it right now... it'll have to wait several months at least.

No, I never did notice that before... wow... suddenly you seem even sexier!

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

33. Sexier for my grammar nit picking?

Ah, I like where this is going.

[neweurope]

8. I don't like your choices. If Wuji is his name it's his name.

Paul or Jack might sound ridiculous to him. How ethnocentric can one be?

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

12. Try me....

Wuji is stupid. Stupidity, like cruelty, crosses all cultural boundries.

[neweurope]

15. Do you even speak his language?

I've noticed more than once that Americans tend to make fun of things they don't comprehend. More Americans than other people don't speak any language but their own and they often tend to make fun of other people's languages. I don't think that's funny, I think it's pitiful. At best.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

17. But what if I just don't like his name?

Doesn't that count for something?!?!

[neweurope]

20. Yes and no. If you detest the sound of his name break off the contact.

And go home and feel ashamed of yourself. Jesus.

22. I'm sorry, neweurope.

I probably should have let on that I'm just joking.

Germany's beautiful, BTW. Just visited Frankfurt.

[neweurope]

24. *feels relief* American and European humor sure are different. So forgive

me my lectures. You were in Frankfurt? Why didn't you stop by? 15 miles too much, hm?

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

26. You're right...humor does not always translate!

Short stay in Frankfurt, actually. Next time i'm in Germany, we'll have to plan a European DU meet up. We'll be the envy of the entire Lounge!

[neweurope]

30. We sure will :) First European DU meeting has taken place.

MissHoneychurch and I met (she's living in Frankfurt). Sunday she'll come for Coffee and Barbecue.

And I'm off to bed. Would like to meet you on your next trip! Good night!

14. Is your delete button broken? n/t

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

18. Mine?

Why do you ask?

[gmoney]

25. I deal with this now and then...

Some of our customer's customers are international, and it seems very common for Asians to adopt an "American" name for use with non-Asians. Danny Fujimoto or Lance Ng or whatever. I think it's an attempt to be considerate to us stupid Americans who can't pronounce a foreign name properly to save our lives.

I think giving you his "real name" is probably to be considered a compliment.

It fouls me up sometimes because they'll place the order using their Asian name, then contact me for a follow-up using just their American first name... So I'm searching for "Danny" when it's actually under Wuji or something...

Just try to pretend you're talking to Wojo from Barney Miller...

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

28. Wojo....

Good one.

Yeah, I have noticed that trend too. I'm just goofing around anyway.

[gmoney]

32. Isn't that a great picture?

I may have to figure out how to make this a sigline graphic without being annoyingly large.

In the meantime:

[ohiosmith]

27. Wuji eh!

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

34. Forgot about that one.

Good memory.

[dhinojosa]

36. Its a cool name

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

37. Wait a minute....

I established upthread that Wuji is a stupid name. It's not "cool." Come on, people, this is review!
