|   Help, I need a new moniker! | Dumbo Davey dbi Slider
Dec 3, 2002 2:01 PM | | I know it sounds pathetic, but anyone have any ideas for a new name. Dumbo is now officially retired and Davey was never available since somebody registerd it right away and then never came back so I had to surround it with the silly dashes so it looks too goofy and I'm really tired of the old dbi and all my T. Rex monikers were kind of silly as well, so what should I do? I need something with a personality. Something fun. Anybody? Free gifts for the winning entry :-) |
| How 'bout <i>RaiderFan</i>? <nt> | maf
Dec 3, 2002 2:04 PM | | |
| Sorry, no free gifts for you, maf | John Doe
Dec 3, 2002 2:11 PM | | But you may want to consider some of the leftovers ;-) |
| OK...You don't like RaiderFan? I'll take another shot | maf
Dec 3, 2002 2:49 PM | | HalleBerry
No reason, just think it would be cool to tell my poker buddies the I hang at the BB as Halle Berry. |
| a new moniker! | audiobill
Dec 3, 2002 2:15 PM | | Gifts for the winning entry.......mmmmmmmm.
I got it!!!! How 'bout altcore?? Has a ring, don't ya
think, Dave?? My second moniker for you is along the same
lines...... altplay or altpark. Take your pick -- it's all
Good.
P.s., I never liked "dumbo". ...... cheers, audiobill |
| I still think "IMHFKADBI"... | DustyChalk
Dec 3, 2002 2:27 PM | | ...but I ain't holdin' my breathe for that free gift. Unless it's a Bass-O-Matic!
And I really don't think I want to call you by any of your pet names that other people call you on this board -- Sugarbear, Big Wave Dave, etc.
No, I really don't have any good suggestions. I'm just thread-crapping. If I come up with anything brilliant, I'll let you know, but don't hold your breath. |
| Bass-O-Matic? | Snowbunny
Dec 3, 2002 2:35 PM | | Is that the silly singing fish on a plaque that was popular a few years ago?
:-) |
| Heheh :-) | Sugarbear
Dec 3, 2002 2:45 PM | | Didn't I give you one of those fish plaques last year, Dusty?
Hey Dusty, I never figured out what the first part of that moniker stood for, you know, the part before formerly known as dbi? So you can still call me Dumbo :-) |
| just hazarding a guess... | Rae
Dec 3, 2002 2:53 PM | | ...but I'm thinking it's something along the lines of "indie music hipster"...
~Rae |
| Doh! | DustyChalk
Dec 3, 2002 4:15 PM | | Rae beat me to it. You have to get up pretty early in the morning (or perhaps stay up all night) to beat this guy. |
| "<B>I</B>ndie <B>M</B>usic <B>H</B>ipster" fka... | DustyChalk
Dec 3, 2002 4:08 PM | | ...I was hoping that you were kidding the first time, or figured it out right after you posted. I mean, c'mon, it's something that you've referred to yourself as!
After listening, again, to some of the music that you've introduced me to, and that you and I like in common (old Kraftwerk, Voyager One, Talk Talk, et al), I decided to stop calling you a "snob", because you really are pretty open-minded. |
| Hehe, ya know sometimes if I don't get it right away ... | Davey
Dec 3, 2002 4:51 PM | | I just give up :-)
Glad I got off your snob list, but we can still refer to others on this board as indie hipster snobs in private communications, right? You know who I'm talking about, right? ... wink, wink. |
| <I>"How many times has this happened to you?..."</I> | DustyChalk
Dec 3, 2002 4:13 PM | | <i>"...You have a bass, and you're trying to find an exciting new way to prepare it for the dinner table. You could scale the bass, remove the bass' tail, head and bones, and serve the fish as you would any other fish dinner. But why bother, now that you can use Rovco's amazing new kitchen tool, the Super Bass-o-Matic '76. Yes, fish-eaters, the days of troublesome scaling, cutting and gutting are over, because Super Bass-o-Matic '76 is the tool that lets you use the bass with no fish waste, and without scaling, cutting or gutting..."</I>
It's a schtick from SNL from the 70's. It was basically just an excuse to drop a fish into a blender and then drink the results. Dan Ackroyd put on his famous fast-salesman voice, and the rest is history.
Recently referred to in another thread. (What?!? You don't read all the threads?!?) |
| How about OilFilter or Carbrrrator? :-) | Snowbunny
Dec 3, 2002 2:30 PM | | Or were you looking for something that more closely resembled your geeky personality? ;-)
I like to pick names from lyrics in my favourite songs...
Tiniest Spark :-) |
| Are those left over from your days as a Queen groupie? | Davey
Dec 3, 2002 5:00 PM | | Geeky personality? What? No need to get so personal, Sweet Thing. And, just so you know, men don't generally like the word tiniest. Just makes us a little ill at ease, if you know what I mean.
But thanks anyway. If you follow Jim Clark ... well, better to just skip the consolation prize if you know what's good for you. The real thing is on the way! |

| We need more information about you to do this properly | Sugarbear
Dec 3, 2002 2:52 PM | | 1) Sexual Orientation - usually on top but sometimes sideways
2) Blood Type - red
3) GPA in 11th grade - what's GPA
4) Do you own a pickup truck or gun? - could you define "own"?
5) Age you lost your virginity - you mean the first time?
6) Annual salary - 6 figures, take your pick
7) Color of the hair in your ears - are you a detective or what?
Whew, I feel so exposed now |
| <b>Fascist Bully-Boy</b>. You like? (nt) | Slosh

| Are you sure it's not already taken? | Dazed and Confuzed
Dec 3, 2002 3:35 PM | | Yikes! Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all ;-)
NP: Neko |
| Why all this change? | Slosh
Dec 3, 2002 3:45 PM | | Are you tired of being you. Are you the walrus?
monkeymen was good. Steal it if it wasn't you.
NP: Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - <i>The Blue Trees</i>
Over50 - hehehe |
| Over50? (nt) | Rae

| Indieana Dave | Jim Clark
Dec 3, 2002 3:29 PM | | Just imagine the marquee value and the sequels.
Indieana Dave and Raiders of Oakland
Indieana Dave and Last Crusade to the Record store
Indieana Dave and the Temple of Toons.
course you'd need a new hat.
jc |
| It's cute, but in a makes-me-gag kinda way .... | Dazed and Confuzed
Dec 3, 2002 3:45 PM | | I do appreciate the effort though, and I have a consolation gift just for you. If you stop by the office labeled "Men" on your way out and ask for Slosh, he'll be happy to set you up with your parting gift. Thanks again :-) |
| "men"? What's Slosh doing there? | Jim Clark
Dec 3, 2002 3:52 PM | | OK Slosh, you HAVE to know I was just having fun there. Right???
Sorry Dbi, didn't mean to make you taste bean sprouts again. I figured if you could stomach Davey you could handle just about everything : ) (ear to ear)
jc |
| I <i>hafta</i> get a new career agent | Slosh
Dec 3, 2002 4:19 PM | | When she said I'd get hands-on time with the head of General Electric I envisioned it just a bit differently. You really need to stop writing such personal things about your lifestyle in the stalls. BTW, George Michaels says to pass on "nice one, mate". Does that mean something to you? |
| I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say .... | Davey
Dec 3, 2002 4:49 PM | | that's the worst set of responses to a serious question that I have ever seen in the history of Rave Wrecks! Nevermind, I fixed it myself. I figured out that I could use Davey with just a space in front of it, doh. So I'm back to my old self again. Ahhhh, it feels good to have an identity :-)
For consolation prizes, just follow Jim Clark. For real prizes, just go to http://members.surfbest.net/dbi@surfbest.net/dbicomps.htm and make a request :-) |
| Sheesh, look who you're asking | Slosh
Dec 3, 2002 5:19 PM | | people with wildly inventive monikers like:
Troy
Jim Clark
Dave G
J
Demetrio
Besides, <i>my</i> suggestion was great ;-)
In the end it harldy matters. We'll continue to call you by another name behind your back ;-P
NP: Melvins - Cry Baby |
| A comp! What kinda prize is that!? | Snowbunny
Dec 3, 2002 5:22 PM | | I'll take the <i>Sloshy</i> prize, if you don't mind!
Sugarbunny - I was kinda fond of Sugarbear. :-( |
| Now boys and girls, don't be bitter. Sloshy has consolation prizes for all. | Davey
Dec 3, 2002 5:51 PM | | Sugarbear is pretty cute, but I have an image to maintain as a strong middle aged indie hipster (sometime) snob. I'm sure you understand ...... |
| Actually, I do (nt) | Slosh
Dec 3, 2002 6:01 PM | | Middle-aged my ass. You think you'll make it to 98?
Maybe you have a middle-aged broken hip to maintain :-)
BAW HAHAHAHA
NP: Greta - No Biting |
| Well, I'm glad to see you came up with something original on your own. | Stone

| How bout Scab Incrusted Nipple Ring Boy??? | BryanE
Dec 3, 2002 5:20 PM | | Or perhaps
Not Relevant.
Like the music you listen to
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
YECH
freezing his nipple ring off
in the northern wasteland |
| Now we're getting somewhere! | Davey
Dec 3, 2002 5:45 PM | | Say Yechy, were you and UnleasHell really "buddies" in prison like he says? Can you believe that a silly thread like this gets a couple hundred hits while lovely Linda Thompson gets about two or three courtesy reads? Pretty sad, huh? What's cooking on the stereo tonight? All movies? I used to have nipple rings but one time I was skydiving naked and made a bad mistake. Ouch, did that hurt! |
| UnleashStupidity was mybitch | BryanE
Dec 3, 2002 6:14 PM | | yes indeed,ScabIncrustedNippleRingBoy,old UnleashStupitiy
just has to squat down and theshit just pours out of him from all the reamings we gave him in the pen.Anal sphincter is permanently stretched out.A common problem for girls like him in prison and the majority of males in Californy.He looks so perty on all fours.ARF ARF.
Nothing on the old stare e o.
I am trying to put together a relevant post and review of the DVD Hellhounds On My Trail.But I've been having a hard time being relevant around here.Hard to believe anyone reads thisshit I post.
Does that shitwad Troy still refuse to drink beer with you?He's such a slut.Too bad he wasn't in the joint with me.Squeal like a pig Troyboy.Reeee reeeeee......
Spoeaking of movies my buddy loaned me his re-released version of The Professional.This has an extra 24 minutes of footage.Maybe in this one he will pork the 14 year old girl.It seemed that he was going dangerously close in that direction in the original movie.We stodgy americans could never handle that.
YECH
begining to smell like Siskel |
| 14-year-old girl in The Professional | Mr MidFi
Dec 4, 2002 8:48 AM | | Trvia: name the actress. Winner gets...um...a prize from Davey!
BTW, my suggestion for dbi...MonikerLewinsky |
| Call yrself Natalie Portman | J
Dec 4, 2002 8:55 AM | | Actually, the Gary Oldman character was easily as snappy as the Big Lebowski's Walter (John Goodman) or Jesus (Turturro). Listening to Beethoven on a Walkman before massacring a family, including children? Yow. Do you think Leon nailed Mathilda? I had my suspicions about what lay on the cutting room floor myself... |
| How abut Barry Wom, Dirk McQuickley, Stig O'Hara, or even Leppo? | DLD
Dec 3, 2002 10:16 PM | | Don't even think of the other one buddy, his jersey has been retired. |
| What, no Ron Decline? | J
Dec 3, 2002 10:46 PM | | Or Leggy Mountbatten? Leppo's a Soft Boys song... |
| I believe Leppo was found hiding in the van, No? (nt) | DLD
Dec 5, 2002 5:30 PM | | |
| How about Phil McKracken? | allears
Dec 4, 2002 10:57 AM | | Ida Lay?
Jack N. Hoff?
Dixon Cox?
Ok they're oldies, but still thought someone should hang 'em out there |
| How' bout <b>18/F/NYC </b> | Darius
Dec 4, 2002 12:29 PM | | (suggestion courtesy of The Onion) |
| Good one. How bout TOMTB for you? | Davey
Dec 5, 2002 8:21 AM | | :-) Pretty funny
 |
| Those are hilarious! | Snowbunny
Dec 5, 2002 1:22 PM | | And unfortunately probably right on the mark, as well!
Heheheh... Haven't you graduated to a Wonder Bra by now, Davey? :-P |
| Why not call yrself Gerard Cosloy? | J
Dec 4, 2002 4:10 PM | | Obscure enough, indie enough, it works, right? Wait, I've got a better idea. Go to this site:
www.fezine.com
After taking a good look through what's there--especially the Shitty Poetry Corner--and I have every confidence you'll want to be known as Tokin' Dylan. Everyone else I know who's seen it sure does. |
