I'm ripping off Manta's description and topic title, I know. I'm wondering what you think I should have as a title. I'm not good at thinking up good things like this.

EDIT:I changed my mind. Please limit the stupidity level.

Why? Half the titles out here are weird. I mean, prophile's title means "eater of dirt," which is no less silly than "lover of squirrels." Veccy "Has a Nice Ass," TheJ is "Seriously Uncalled For," µ is an "established minor deity," SA is a "proctor with a fancy-ass job title," Trah is "King of the East," and Lek's "Love Conquers All" isn't really a title. A deadpan orator is dreadfully boring and mrxak is rabid. Something like "Corndog of Ultimate Desire" isn't any worse than half of those.

It also took me about a year to hit 1000.

Ok, then how about this: Your ideas can be stupid, but nothing too stupid. I'd do lover of squirrels, but I don't like squirrels. Try to limit the stupidity just a little.

1) What? 2) No one said this when Manta made a "1000 posts topic". I guess I'm looking for something really out of the ordinary. Say, is it possible for me to edit my account name and capitalize the "I"?

You can contact Magnus and ask him really nicely to change your name, but I've really only seen him do such changes for pretty well established members. The lowercase i is better anyway.

How about "Orbes volantes exstare!" (literally, "orbs of a nature such that they can fly are in existence," or, non-literally, "flying saucers exist!") or, even better, "inter alios" (amongst others).

How is the lower case i better? I like that first one you gave, but that's not actually a title. I might put that into my sig. I'm kinda looking for something titleish. I'll use a makeshift one 'till someone gets something better.

It doesn't HAVE to be a title. It can be whatever you fit in there.

That said, how about weltvergessen?

If you change your name make it, "iSword", abd if you change your title make it, "Deadly Apple Product" or something along those lines. Also, titles I see are usally an obscure refference to something...

Self depressing, topic spamming, impatient noob.

That's my suggestion. It's not stupid, because I can provide you with plenty of links to your previous posts that support each part of it (roughly 250 each to be precise).

But in all seriousness, I'd highly suggest slowing down your posting a bit. For example, there was no need to post saying "I changed my mind. Please limit the stupidity level" 2 posts down from your original post, and then editing the phrase in there anyway.

Also, if you knew this board at all, you should know asking us to limit our stupidity is like asking a stand up comedian to tone down his language, or dressing head to toe in red, painting your face red, grabbing a red bed sheet and then kicking a bull in the nuts. Not smart.

I hate to say it isword, but Lektor does have a point. Though he possibly could have made it more tactfully.

Yes, we have personal experience with this.

Say, how about "Deadly serious man"? That'd describe you perfectly.

In that case, I'd be okay with it if it was paidovore in going for a phonetic spelling of the Latin term, but a paedovore is really nothing in particular. To use the more familiar pedophile, a pedophile could be a lover of dirt or children (if it's Latin, pedon=dirt, pais=child) and, thus, it's a stupid term even though it is the correct English term for lover of children; a pædophile could only be a lover of children and is thus more correct (æ=ai, pais/pæs=child) but isn't an English word; paidophile would be phonetically correct, but isn't a word anywhere; and a paedophile isn't anything but an incorrect and pompous spelling of pedophile using a bastardized transliteration of the say (paedo=not a stem), which, as stated earlier, could either be a lover of dirt or children.

The stems work the same for your eater of children/dirt as well. Of course, as there isn't a recognized English word that means that, and a pedovore would be a eater of dirt in Latin, then the only correct latin term would either be pædovore or paidovore depending on what script you're using (pronounced "paydo-voray." FYI, pædophile should be pronounced "paydo-peelay").

Thus concludes Pufer's language lesson of the day.

I have tried being 'tactful' with him in the past, ad it got nowhere. I have limited patience.
