[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Geez, that month I spent with a breakaway sect of the Seventh Day Adventists in Washington Heights was really an adventure. It just wasn't for me, though. Know what I mean?

They were all like: "You must abstain from impure acts." And I was kind of skeptical initially. Then, they came back with: "Well, it's not like your whack game is getting any play in the first place. Just give it up already!" And I was all like: "Screw you buddy! I still have FreeRepublic."

Thanks for being there, guys!

Alright, so I am under 25-barely.

But I do speak the same language, or at the very least, a variant thereof.

Not Cambridge-educated, Professor Higgins-type English, I'll grant you.

Then again, I've lived my entire life in Bklyn., so what do you expect?

-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)

Alright, so I am under 25-barely.

Not too much younger than I am...

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Yeah, give or take a couple of years.

I always think it's strange when someone tells me that I look enormously different and/or better after I've shaved off most of my facial hair.

I just always assume that it's a roundabout way of saying I look less creepy.

[tuliptree76]

I have only seen the picture of you with the gotee. Did you have a full beard?

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Unfortunately, that underbrush is-essentially-the fullest extent of my whiskers.

Once I realized that I wasn't going to develop one of those traditional Pashtoun/Robert Bork-style beards, I decided to pack it in and grab the nearest razor.

[tuliptree76]

So I'll have to try to picture you without the gotee. ;-)

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

It should be easy.

I ran into the girlfriend of someone I know the other day-after I had shaven off my mustache and goatee-who said-somewhat apologetically-that I looked much better this way.

Which is kind of a tacit admission that I looked pretty gruesome without the shave...

LOL! They have websites for everything.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Apparently so.

The origin of this bizarre and inscrutable screen name is explained...um...kind of.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

I never met Scourge. It seems he was well liked.

I quit watching SNL regularly due to the liberal message of many of their skits * gags *. I'm sorry, the deeper meaning of your name has been lost on me.

Looking forward to more posts and pings, do not dub me.

; )

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Thank you.

I'll be sure to avoid "dubing", for future reference.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

I was refering to you "do not dub me", so that I did not have to type out your whole name, "Do not dub me shapka broham".

Maybe I should just call you Alex, or Alli.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Works for me.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Whoa, Alli, you know everyone here?

Are you a lurker too?

(I like Alli, better than Alex. My baby bro, and I do mean baby - I'm 24 yrs older than him, used to call me "teenee" because he couldn't pronounce my name.)

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Heh, heh.

That kind of reminds me of my nephew, who used to call me "Ugum Gerard", before he learned how to pronounce complete sentences.
