ILE Aliases

Aaaarggh. I fucked that up good and proper.
What I meant to say was that Robin is now going under the groovy title of Captain Swing, which is for political reasons, but is prob coz' he's a rabid Michelle Shocked fan.

I was thinking of getting a new alias, what should I choose? As Billy Dods seems a bit formal. I had thought of Billy D but that sounds too much like an old skool rapper.

I will of course ignore Major Fuck up or anything similar.

Internet aliases - don't do it kids. At least not if you've previously used an actual name. It's like asking to be called by a nickname. When Tarden became Dave Q he lost all his mystique.

― Tom, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'll use my name now.

― Maria, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And now Lyra loses all her mystique!! Next we'll find that Nude Spock is actually called 'Gordon'.

― Tom, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I suppose I should start using my real name, too.

― Harry Cockfosters, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

you can tell who has just been to London (Piccadilly line was it Dan?)

― gareth, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh YES. Picadilly line was our favorite. Imagine the mirth experienced by the brash Americans when they jumped on the train and discovered a scrolling LED sign that read, "This train is for COCKFOSTERS."

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I knew they should have done Crocodile Dundee In London....

― Pete, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

wasn't that a Fosters advert Pete?

2 Japanese tourists approach Paul Hogan on tube and ask the best way to Cockfosters, to which he replies (of course) "drink it warm mate" Oh how I didn't laugh.

― cabbage, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Indeed, but the joke was so good that it was quite clear that a whole film spun out of the same cultural misunderstanding gag would have worked a treat. Plus the added bonus of him getting his big knife out and an Armed Response Unit shooting him dead because they thought he had a gun.

― Pete, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I reckon that the crocodiles that escaped into the River Lea would have had him if the police didn't.

― cabbage, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Them and the nekkid bears of Hackney.

Christ, it *was* a Michelle Shocked album now I look it up! Never once heard anything by her. Actually it's partly political (there is definitely some sort of trad-folk ensemble called the Captain Swing Band) and partly because I want to use a name which sounds like what might have been the still-unknown-to-me alias of the "bloke who makes Turbo B sound like Chuck D" (Simon Price, 1993) who rapped on Culture Beat's "Mr Vain" and "Got To Get It".

I've used aliases before: anyone remember the skylarking2001 period? "King Penda", my other current alias, was the last pagan king of England, who appears in David Rudkin's play "Penda's Fen" (BBC Birmingham, 1973).

"Billy Dods" used to confuse me slightly because I believe there's a Scottish footballer of that name. How about "Hague's Unwilling Constituent"?

― Captain Swing aka King Penda, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There is indeed a Scottish footballer called Billy Dods, who will score the winning goal in Belgium tomorrow night.

Recommend you check out Michelle Shocked's short sharp shocked album - top notch folk music with wry story telling, poignant lyrics and barely contained anger. Captain Swing is a load of old pony unfortunately.

― Billy Dods, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm thinking about changing my ilx name to 'nate patrin'.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 6 March 2004 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

...just until patricks day.

― Fidd O'Centington (Ronan), Saturday, 6 March 2004 14:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't patrinize ilx.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Saturday, 6 March 2004 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i was thinking of going back to jess.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 6 March 2004 14:34 (twenty-one years ago)

but then i remember how he used to beat me and the children.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 6 March 2004 14:35 (twenty-one years ago)

he can change!!!!!

― Fidd O'Centington (Ronan), Saturday, 6 March 2004 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

And he bought you those flowers as a way of saying sorry!

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Saturday, 6 March 2004 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Wot happened to Lotso Throwuppington then?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 6 March 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

i feel the _____O _______ington joke may have reached its logical conclusion

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 6 March 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

20 year old Irishmen parodying it for Patrick's Day?

― Fidd O'Centington (Ronan), Saturday, 6 March 2004 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Logico Conclusington

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 6 March 2004 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I am going to sue cozen for defamation of character.

Also remember that every time you use the term "Patrinizing" you are using a term pioneered by Momus. You don't want to sound like Momus, do you?

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Saturday, 6 March 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

a rabid Michelle Shocked fan

Huh? That's scary.

1. Are there any still alive?
2. Is she still alive?
3. Why were they allowed to live?

― Skottie, Saturday, 6 March 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

me being you inflames your character.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 6 March 2004 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

wh'evah, mang

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Saturday, 6 March 2004 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't even know what it means.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 6 March 2004 17:44 (twenty-one years ago)

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Saturday, 6 March 2004 17:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll ask geeta.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 6 March 2004 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

ok ok, it's a convoluted way of saying "whatever, man". FINE THERE ARE YOU FUCKING HAPPY WITH YOURSELF?!?! HATE + DEATH

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Saturday, 6 March 2004 17:57 (twenty-one years ago)

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 6 March 2004 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I just can't find an alias I'd want to stick with for long.

― Panty Sniffer (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 6 March 2004 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

well pardon me for being somewhat irritable but reviving a 2 1/2 year thread just to make some snotty joke at my expense when I hardly even know who you are (and vice versa -- trust me on that) is pretty fucking weird.

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Saturday, 6 March 2004 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

If we're headed for a situation where I'm a C-Man/doomie/Momus go-to punchline then fuck this

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Saturday, 6 March 2004 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

oh geddoverit

― Nate Sniffer (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 6 March 2004 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

haha my new year's resolution was not to get into any more internet fights!

come to think of it, that cd be an emo lyric.

I only said 'calm it' cs I don't want to fight you. my joke wasn't meant to be snotty either. but yeah whatever.

we're better than this.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 6 March 2004 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm going for it. Now i can say what i really think. You all smell like stinky cheese!! haha, you'll never catch me.
