Renaming challenge

lol 'thoughts of dick'

We came so far.

I thought, "We might get through this whole thing without anyone mentioning how often we say Dick. Everone here is so mature."

And then comes LHX...

"Thoughts of Dick" was pretty irresisable wasn't it?


Mangrove- so??? Change? don't change? Bip? Blank? Is anyone going to decide?

[LHX]

this is getting retarded


The ______ Prison


fill in the blank with whatever term best summarizes the state of being

trapped-but-not-necessarily-as-trapped-as-you-may-have-been-led-to-believe

for you

i really couldnt resist

i didnt even want to post that


something just came over me

RWHN syndrome

[tyrannosaurus vex]

the Gaytarded Prison? no takers?

[Mangrove]

i'm sticking with black iron prison for now because:

a) i'm lazy
b) i'm in the middle of writing a piece on the fucking black iron prison  :x

as i said. i'm open to the idea of a change. so far none of the suggestions have really hit me with 'wow! that's great!'.

so for now...i'm keeping BIP and seeing what happens.

[tyrannosaurus vex]

i think there's little to no motivation to actually change the term.  at first, i didn't like it anyway, and i didn't even know who the fuck PKD was. not that i do now either, really.

but BIP grows on you.  changing the name now actually seems to me like .. um.. metaphorically speaking, it's like changing the name of something you're familiar with for no compelling reason. that metaphor fucking KILLS.

fuck you.

[LHX]

im thru with this renaming shit


altho Cain is right - a name is important and it is a detractor to not have a ideal name

i am getting used to things being less than ideal


it can be called whatever


Bartholomew's Flying Circus in the Clouds
Advanced Chakra Blockage for Seniors
The Matrix of Neo



i fully intend to bring the thunder regardless


my real life name isnt actually LHX


OVER AND OUT

[Thurnez Isa]

my real life name isnt actually LHX

WAY TO RUIN THE ILLUSION

[AFK]

I have no more to add really, except that I know I regretted changing the now defunct BIP forum to The Discordian Network.  I wish I had just left it as it was. 

Oh and that another reason I think the current name is important.

This is key to what we are doing, and needs to be reflected, somehow, in our name.

Then it's settled.

Everyone get back to work.

I'm not buying you guys any more domain names.

Just sayin'

[tyrannosaurus vex]

you can have discoflux.com

i know that's not helping

[rygD]

just to throw this out there: i don't know a great deal about copyright law et al. but back when i was in 'the mangrooves' and writing songs, i did  learn that song titles are not copyrightable, only the song itself. apparently, there's nothing stopping me writing a song called 'time after time'. of course, it would just cause confusion with the other song of that name*, but it's not, in itself a violation (or so i've heard). if i started ripping some of the lyrics and melody, then that's when the problem starts.

Then I propose "Vatican Information Service".

[Triple Zero]

I liked "The Monkey Shackles"


anyway, how the fuck do you pronounce "_____"?

if you can't say it, that makes it hard to sell it to other people.

you don't need to pronounce it, it's just the name of the subforum we were talking about, right?

but monkey shackles is fine with me too

and i think you should pronounce it BLEEEEEEEEEEEEP

"812" is pretty cool as well .. mysterious, means nothing, reminds people of 419 and doesn't add up to 23

******

newsflash, i just read the rest of the thread, let's keep it

but let's not stop bickering about it
