    Well I think the stupid girl with the same name as me who got it as her username before I could get it should have it taken away from her, due to the fact that she only has like 50 friends, wtf?

    @Syrax - in black for the Jezebanned: That poor kid has such a disastertrain of a name.

    He can't go by his first two initials either, then he'd just be B.M.

    So, must the connection be to my ipse identity or my idem identity? Either way, I don't know what was so wrong with "str8-4-the-pooper."

    I think they're revoking user names that contain nothing but numbers, as well. Someone I know registered "123456789" (may or may not have begin with a "0," I can't remember) minutes after the feature became available, and then received an email last week notifying her that the user name was being taken away because of the "clear connection to one's identity" stipulation.

    Obviously, it must be some kind of evil dealings they're trying to cover up.


    And a past president getting things paid for by the government? No way!!!

    Alternatively, they could have invaded the domain under the pretense of looking for weapons of mass destruction.

    I think if they had just hired a domain-savvy attorney, they could have probably forced that guy to turn over the name fo' free, since the ICANN is really anal about squatting and seems to side with the complaintant 90% of the time.


    Having said that, I think I speak for most DFW residents when I say "oh, shit, W, please don't make us a fucking target by setting up your dumb library and living here"

    it's all a vast conspiracy, dontcha see? The key here is that it's Illuminati Karate. The Illuminati are everywhere, now apparently including North Carolina.


    Skull and Bones is probably involved, too, since all those secret societies are pretty much the same, and i can say that because i've never once been approached by my college's secret society, although come to think of it, if i know about it, it can't be that much of a secret.


    Hmmm, are the Illuminati right wing or left wing? And why would they want to interfere with Bush's presidential "library"?

    @rojo_d: I can see the marquee now, all lit up like a big ol' Christmas tree, and not one of them heathen "holiday" trees (i heard about them on Jerry Springer), but a tree Christmas tree, a patriotic Christmas tree, the Lord's Christmas tree: Iraqbuster.
