Never give a bunch of goof wads a name change amnesty.

[ScreamingMeemie]

That's all I'm saying.

Romper stomper bomper boom!

[Deja Q]

1. There's nothing wads about my goof!

And now I nweed to bwow my noze. I hab a kode...

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. What's that you say "Son of a Tadpole Star Trek Character"??

[CreekDog]

3. No! You changed your name?

You had one of the best.

I might take your old name then buddy.

[Deja Q]

11. No bloody way did I have the best!!

I still prefer something with "Q" in it. I had been thinking of that for some time, all things considered...

Feel free with my old name. That'll feel like Deja Vu, said Deja Q!

[chknltl]

84. I'll second the notion that the name Hypno Toad was one of the best.

I wrote what I had to say in the title to this post! I've little left to add but I'll honestly miss the name! Maybe you might try on the name 'Qypno Toad' if you are partial to the letter 'Q' just to keep us fans happy.

chknltl-(short of stature, wide of vision and with no plans to change my name!)

[GreenPartyVoter]

10. You changed your name?! I hardly recognize you anymore. *sniffling*

[Deja Q]

27. I'm the same old metaphysical being I've always been!

Remember, I used to be someone else here before "HypnoToad" and he was still me.

[GreenPartyVoter]

30. Dang! Who were you before that?

[NYC_SKP]

75. Tadpole of HypnoToad.....

Or similar..... I'm gonna miss the little guy!

[FloridaJudy]

92. Jeebus. You changed your avatar too????

Now I'm never going to be able to keep track!

[crispini]

Oooo noo! Another one of the great names gone!

You look different in that!

[surrealAmerican]

56. Well, I like the new name.

... but without Bender, how will we know you?

[Pierre.Suave]

4. Why?

What could possibly go wrong?

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. ...

O.M.G.

[Pierre.Suave]

16. Yeah

[crispini]

43. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Great new name!

How am I going to recognize you? Sheesh!

[Pierre.Suave]

79. thanks

[no name no slogan]

5. Why do you hate America?

This is the DU member formerly known as Rush Limbaugh's Shrunken OxyContin-Addled Weiner.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I liked your old name better...easier to say...

[Guava Jelly]

6. You're just mad because Miss Sally never called your name

[ScreamingMeemie]

[TZ]

[ScreamingMeemie]

Really?

[madinmaryland]

35. Yeah, I'm the same madinmaryland, though the brazilian joke is dead. Besides,

there are so many things still to be mad at. Like equal rights for EVERYONE!

[merh]

9. there have been name changes?

This is the DU member always known as merh.

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. Either that or my eyes really are messed up.

[merh]

26. hey ya Texas!

Has your accent begun to change?

Do you say "y'all" with ease?

Hope you are well, sorry about the cold, it's supposed to stay north of the Mason/Dixon line - damned climate change.




This is the DU member always known as merh.

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. It was 24 degrees the day I moved and I was all "What the Hey?!"

Today, a neighbor caught me saying "ya'll"... She said I wouldn't be converted until I pulled out the all ya'lls...

[merh]

31. LOL, you'll get there

the good thing about our cold weather is, it goes away more often and sooner than the weather where you were.

the plants and critters here have been confused, they think we were in spring - little baby squirrels and possums have been born already.

did I mention my mom was from houston and her people are still in the area?



This is the DU member always known as merh.

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. No you didn't mention that.

So far I love it. We drove down to Freeport a few days ago for an attempt at catching Blue Crab and a picnic. BabyG had a blast.

[merh]

36. did you buy some crab nets

and use chicken backs and necks and thighs as bait?



It's been a long time since I've been back, we used to spend summer vacations at Bolivar and Galveston - oh how I love the ferry ride.




This is the DU member always known as merh posting to the DU member always known as MrsGrumpy.

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. Yes! We borrowed the neighbor's crab cage and put all the

chicken in it. I think it was too windy (wind was blowing out) and too late in the AM by the time we got there. The kids had fun wading out to check it though.

[merh]

42. that sounds like you all had fun

just wait until you have a good day of catching - bucket full and ready to boil - they don't hurt much when they pinch, it's just scarey



This is the DU member always known as merh.

[texanwitch]

83. Bolivar and Galveston will not be like your remember.

Ike really hit the area hard.

Even the Galveston seawall needs repair and the beachs are much smaller now.

[merh]

86. I knew they were hit hard

Wasn't Bolivar basically leveled?

Oh, they haven't been like I remembered them even before the storm

That was forever ago, summer vacations in the late 60's & 70's when you could drive your car on the galveston beach - plenty of beer and hauling ass in a mustang mach 1 along the beach - not my car, I was too young to drive - my cousin would drive us around.

How is the rebuilding going? Have a lot of folks returned to rebuild?

[Bossy Monkey]

12. (Slaps head) I coulda been Goof Wad!

Great horny toads!

[Pierre.Suave]

18. There is still time

I think...

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. With a $20 finder's fee...

[Haole Girl]

13. Well

That was grumpy of you!



Sorry, I couldn't resist. After all, I do believe I was called a goof wad! lol

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. I figured that perhaps, in honor of the name change thing, I would

just become my name.

Your name is very cute btw.

[Haole Girl]

28. Thanks

Don't ever become grumpy.

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. I shall try.

Just for you.

[XemaSab]

[ScreamingMeemie]

68. *snort*

You got it.

[Marrah_G]

71. I'm on my 4th bottle of seagrams wild berry coolers

My boys looked at me like I lost my mind tonight, cause I never drink when they are around ...hehe

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

77. That's not a drink, that's a soda

[Marrah_G]

78. Exactly!

It still shocked my boys though.


On the weekends at my guys house I drink Mikes Limeade with Chambord in it. It's yummy raspberry goodness with a KICK!

[Marrah_G]

63. ewwwwwww- you have some strange fantasies !

Have you been raiding the wine cellar again?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

64. No, that was Midlo

[Marrah_G]

[bigwillq]

37. Hi Mrs. G!

I am the DUer formerly known as bigwillq!

[ScreamingMeemie]

45. And I am glad for that!

That you didn't change your name that is.

[bigwillq]

52. I thought about it.

But then decided against it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

53. I'm still thinking about it because it isn't really "me" anymore...

but then there's really nothing to change it to.

[bigwillq]

61. L-Boogie!

I would go with that!

[ScreamingMeemie]

74. ...

I will file that one away.

[bigwillq]

91. L-Boogie up in here.

One time!

Not sure if you know what I am talking about, but if you do you're awesome!

[ScreamingMeemie]

97. Top knotch baby!

[madrchsod]

80. "rodeodance" is`t being used anymore.....

[Tom Kitten]

39. Not even if I change it to...

"Tom Hussein Kitten" ? Just askin'...

Or maybe "Tom Cat"...because I'm a groan up... Has that one been taken?

Or maybe "Tom Hussein Cat", or THC for short...

I'll probably stick to what I've got...

Or maybe not

[musette_sf]

40. we haz a Thom Cat

i think your name is okay as it is!

[ScreamingMeemie]

47. But you have the cutest DU name ever, so you can't change it.

Not ever. Promise. Right now. Promise.

[elshiva]

62. I love your name, Tom Kitten.

It's a classic.


Also, I have a Tom Kitten stuffed animal.

It looks like this, except mine has gray fur:

[PBS Poll-435]

41. Some people took the name-change seriously

[ScreamingMeemie]

48. Hey!

You are right up the road from me.

There's some really great DUers here in Texas.

[crispini]

50. uh HUH.

Not you, apparently.

[ScreamingMeemie]

51. Oh my...you're right... plus I MUST go take that poll. I heard it's

being Freeped!

[KamaAina]

55. Actually, you could probably use one

remember, I have the 411 on how it came about in the first place.

Then again, this is simply additional proof that you are not now, nor have you ever been, a goof wad.

[ScreamingMeemie]

60. Ha!

I've thought about it, because it doesn't really reflect me anymore (except for in the opinions of a few GDers) but I haven't the foggiest on where to go.

[SPKrazy]

81. What? You Calling Me a Goof Wad?

Well you are right!

[chknltl]

85. I'm in agreement MrsGrumpy

Reincarnation is best left to professionals who are better trained in chaos management.*



*(Yep-I've no clue what I just said either but ya gotta admit it sounded sorta like I did!)

[RFKHumphreyObama]

87. Oops! Too late

Good to see you Laura. Hope you are well

[jobycom]

88. I'm thinking giving Loungers amnesty for anything is not so smart.

[TZ]

89. I'm willing to give you amnesty

for being a Cowboys fan...

[jobycom]

90. That's not amnesty, that's worship and envy.

[FloridaJudy]

93. No amnety!

[keroro gunsou]

95. it's not all bad

some people had anti-shrub names and wanted to change to reflect we aren't under the rule of a man with the IQ of that by which we know him....

i wanted to change cause my original name is part of my email address

[Lucian]

96. No kidding!
