No.

Apparently one of the admins, in an effort to illustrate where the problem lies, began altering my name while I was on-line.

I saw "mickey" with and without an uppercase first letter, a "Miguel" something or other, and those are just the ones I saw.

Then he locked the thread.

Go figure, huh?

Whole lotta locking goin' on lately...

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is a Latin phrase from the Roman poet Juvenal, variously translated as "Who watches the watchmen?", "Who watches the watchers?", "Who will guard the guards?", "Who shall watch the watchers themselves?", or "Who administers the BITOG admins?".

Yo Mickey, I think you may be just a tad confused. I advise you to run diagnostics. Your old thread isn't locked: Uninteresting Views

Ubi sunt qui ante nos fuerunt?

or

Where are those who have gone before us?

The first two words, translated as "where are" are the hallmark of a popular medieval type of verse whose first line generally began with these two words and had a tone of nostalgia, underscoring the transience of life...

A variant of this meditation on mortality was employed by the medieval French poet Francois Villon in the phrase, "Where are the snows of yesteryear?" in his poem The Ballad of Dead Ladies.

In a further permutation playing on the Villon variant, a character in Joseph Heller's novel "Catch 22" voices the rhetorical question, "Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?" referring to the character Snowden who had died.

Just trying to show that the market isn't cornered on this kind of thing. Most of us simply have the good taste to refrain.

Oops, never mind.

 

[greenaccord02]

Actually, I had to memorize this information for a UIL Literary Criticism competition in highschool. I did have to search for the proper spelling of Villon's name though.

The great philosopher, Peter Griffin's distant relative, Thomas Griffin, replying to his wife, who asked him to get a proper job:

"Why?"

 

[d00df00d]

"I am really smart."

-Me


How's that?

 

[Gary Allan]

I'm impressed. Then again, I can admire a well made oil filter

He's back to Rolf now? He was Mickey last night.

 

[greenaccord02]

He'll always be Mickey to me.

The constant name changes may be merely an inexplicable manifestation of multiple forum personality disorder (MFPD).
