Ok I have finally settled on a name... I think this one will do. I used it for a looong time on battle net and my other names just haven't felt right. I am for those of you who care Bricks-N-Sandwiches and also Lautsprecher fur die Toten
but I AM WAS and WILL BE MacBeth or Mac or Beth...although I'm more of a Michael then a Beth but I digress.

I think you should resign on as Gerald. We don't have enough Geralds represented on the board.

Posted by MacBeth (Member # 5670) on :

no no I'm very pleased with my new name...it served me well in the past. [Big Grin]

It feels good.
Almost like I'm not hiding from me anymore....that does make sense right?

You're married to this guy, EG?

Wow that didn't take long to see another character [Big Grin]

You know, Macbeth, I'm expecting lots of symbolism involving things like light, darkness and clothing.

Oh, and your iambic pentameter is *almost* as piss poor as that layabout mooch who calls herself Ophelia.

(please don't hurt me, Ophelia! I'm trying to look tough for the new guy!)

I'm almost certainly the only person that thought of the movie Light Years when I read this line.

"Am Was Will Be MacBeth."
MacBeth was King.

You are the Once and Future King.

(pssst. Your identity crisis is only just begining)

You can't be mac. We already have a mac. Maybe you can be Mac, though, true.

Don't. While occasional use when the subject is appropriate

quote:
Jatraquero: My doggie keeps making messes on the carpet. What should I do?
MacBeth: Out! Out, damned Spot!

is fine, regular use of a famous name is just annoying.

Frankly, I much prefer originality even over actual names, especially if there is a [Confused]

surreality like Bricks-N-Sandwiches.
