Let me have a Jab at this.
Any of them are OK as far as I'm concerned!

Of course if all this isn't resolved soon, you'll have to choose another name.

Tweedledee?.............or how about Tweedledum?


Just trying to help............

Yours grinningly,

the cat from Cheshire.

No, don't change from Jabberwock, it's too cool a name!

Have you thought about adding a jabberwock (dragon) smiley to your sign off? i.e. J

I dont mind Jabwock - I like having my own nicknames

Like...Jabster, or Jabbers, or jaywock etc...

Well, what a lot of overnight action!

My plan so far is

(a) To ignore Terri's smut

(b) Sign off as Jab

(c) while inviting you to call me Jabster or Jab or Jaywock or Jabs or Jabber or wock or Jab - or whatever, whenever, as long as it isn't smutty or insulting. That bit's up to you.

(d) My 'real' name stays as Jabberwock anyway, JEllen. Interesting point about the dragon...I just think it looks Welsh, which I'm not.

Jab

but you are WELLsh person

my attempt to make a early in the morning joke!

....OK, as it's your birthday, pheloxi

Jab

I can type red here too

Just cos it's your birthday, you don't have to go mad!

...in case you don't know the idiomatic phrase....'go mad' just means 'get too exceited', pheloxi.

Jab

excited...

life begins at 40 may be I go mad



dances birdie song on cotton shoes around 12 orange tulips arranged as around windmill in dairy farmland on .

if that does not sound like dream than I am really nuts

oh my dream is inspired by Laurie Anderson's song "Talk Normal" from the "Home of the Brave" (film/cd)

"I came home today and both our cars were gone. and there were all these new pink flamingoes arranged in star patterns all over the lawn. then I went into the kitchen and it looked like a tornado had hit. and then I realized I was in the wrong house. last night I had that dream again. I dreamed I had to take a test In a Dairy Queen on another planet."

All dreams are a bit nuts. Mine are, anyway

That piece from Laurie Anderson's beautiful. I'm a big fan. The words are so clear yet imaginative

Jab

I seen Laurie Anderson 3 times live

...one time I was sitting at the stage I could hear her voice without microphone. you might know song "sharkey's night"* she preforms it with a vocoder and it is really good to hear both voices!

* orginally from "Mr Heartbreaker", but this vocoder version on "home of the brave".

You lucky thing Pheloxi, having seen Laurie Anderson live! I wish they would come out with Home of the Brave on DVD.

The Mr. Heartbreak version of Sharkey's Day/Night with William Burroughs is my absolute favourite Laurie Anderson track. Is it from the 70's? Never seen her live, though, more's the pity. She's probably too old these days anyway.

Jab

Oh dear, I seem to have joined the discussion quite late. Well, I'll put my two bits worth in anyway.

I agree with many of the sentiments above - A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. (I am not making any comments on odour here - just to be completely clear!)

But I love Jab and Woks is good too.

Or you could play on the descriptions of the jabberwock - flamey eyes, whiffler, burbler.

Nah, stick to Jab

Thanks MC

I think I'll stick to Jab, as you suggest, except for some postings to pheloxi and Bel, where I can be Jab without appearing to claim that I'm a star, (I'm just this guy, y'know?)

in Dutch or German - to be q. honest I can't remember if it's one or both of them - is 'ster', and so I'm just bein' Jabster. But you can call me any variant you fancy. Well, almost any. See Post 26.

As Mae West apparently said 'you can call me anything you like, as long as you call me'.
