Vanity-Goodbye Mr_Magoo

4-7-03 | Petruchio / Mr_Magoo

[Petruchio]

For the record, this is NOT an Opus. Just an Opus in training . . .

Back in 1998 I joined FR as CitizenX. By the year 2000 I had to abandon that screen name because self-search was no longer useable. There were more entries for Citizen and CitizenX7 than for me! At the time I told FReepers that CitizenX's penchant for using BOLD TYPE caused him to run out of pixels.

I thought for a while and came up with the screen name of Mr_Magoo. Truth is I decided on that name the day I realized my eyeglass perscription was out of date. This worked well until recently. Lately, I have FReepers confusing me with someone named Mister Magoo.

(sigh)

Here we go again!

I decided today to kill off Magoo to end the confusion. JimRob was kind enough to rename my CitizenX account to Petruchio.

Why Petruchio?

Simple, do a google on it and Shakespeare. If you knew my ex you would instantly understand!

This time I hope my screen name stays unique.

Potato, potata...heheh.

[Alamo-Girl]

Whew! Thank you so much for letting us know! Hugs!!!

Yes, but the other Mr_Magoo/CitizenX who wrote this vanity has been around since at least 1998 when I first met him at a Chicago-area FReep-the-Creep (BillyJeff).

[Petruchio]

LOL!
The Magoo you see on this thread is not me. Also he is not the other magoo you pinged me to the other day. I had already had a run in with that magoo over a week ago. It looks like there were at least 3 magoo names going on. Just like the 3 citizen names back then. That is why I switched.

I don't think there are very many ways to horn in on Petruchio. [wink]

BTW, You will always be MadAsHell to me . . .

[Petruchio]

As for seniority, Now I have my origional signup date back again! Yeah! Now I can prove I'm an old fart.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Always a Woman to Me :-)

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Geez, there are more Magoos that Sadaam "doubles".

The Many Faces of Sadaam

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

When I voluntarily changed my screen name (at the request of JimRob, who told me there was a MadAsHell and a Mad-As-Hell and their new software couldn't handle the potential confusion ;-), I FReepmailed JimRob and requested that my original login/registration date be used on my profile. JimRob was kind enough to heed my request.

[CounterCounterCulture]

You know, we could just call you Sybil, but unfortunately there's already a Freeper registered as Sybil. ;-)

[Petruchio]

Sybil?

Sybil???

Wrong gender dude.

[TheRightGuy]

Now I can prove I'm an old fart.

That issue was never in doubt ;^)

Reincarnaton is a wonderful thing.

[Petruchio]

I resemble that

[Petruchio]

So you and Jack are aware.

Take care

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

LOL look for a Petruchio2's.

[Magoo]

Gee, I feel bad now.

[Lazamataz]

I am thinking of changing my name to Zatamazal. This name change would be to prevent confusion with the variations of Lazamataz that are popping up: Lazamataz2, Laz A. Mataz, and the ever-popular VariationOfLazamataz.

Zatamazal is the Estrucian God of Grammar and Mail Delivery, of course.

[Petruchio]

The way I figure, go all the way.

It's spring.

Change your name

Change your clocks

Change your skivies

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

That's like the old Viking joke regarding the Vikings being out in the boat and being told it was a special day, as they were going to get to change their underwear. "Leif you change with Sven, Sven you change with Ole, Ole you change with Gunnar......". :-)

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

What?! No "SonOfLazamataz"?

[Lazamataz]

No "SonOfLazamataz"?

How about SonOfABitch. Much more accurate... :o)
