    My new byline...

    I've been test-driving "Moderator without fear", but I'm leaning more towards either "Power-crazed madman" or possibly "Shrunken baldy closet lindy-hopper" at the moment. But I'm bored, and I need more inspiration.

    So, any more suggestions?

    Being a power-crazed fool, I can even create a poll for the suggestions later on in this thread, mwa-ha-ha...

    'short, bald pedantic bloke with too much time on his hands junior moderator'


    Will it fit?

    Re: My new byline...

    They both seem so appropriate somehow...

    How about "Shrunken baldy closet lindy-hopping power-crazed madman"?

    "Shrunken baldy tucked in closet lindy-hopping power-crazed madman"

    Fluffy kitten moderator?

    While you're at it, replace the "The" in my byline with an "An".

    All of those are good but I think the one that sums you up the best is

    Re: My new byline...

    Blimey, what a useless set of suggestions.

    I was looking for something as inspired as “sad little polyp”, and you just copy my original ideas

    Seeing as the only way I'm going to get a good set of insults, as always, is to do the job myself, here’s 10 better suggestions:
    • Obvious: 'scuse me, is that your T-shirt or did you get run over?
    • Meteorological: everybody take cover, it’s coming untucked!
    • Fashionable: you know, you could de-emphasize that T-shirt if you wore something larger, like... Birmingham.
    • Personal: well, here we are, just me, you and that thing round your belly.
    • Punctual: all right, DJ your belly was on time but YOU were fifteen minutes late!
    • Envious: Ooooh, I wish I were you! Gosh, to be able to see up girl’s skirts!
    • Naughty: uh, pardon me, sir, some of the ladies have asked if you wouldn't mind putting that thing away.
    • Philosophical: you know, it's not the colour of a T-shirt that's important, it's what's IN IT that matters.
    • Melodic: Everybody. He's got. the whole world in his T-shirt.
    • Complimentary: you must love the little birdies to let them do that to your clothing.

    and Cyrano de Bergerac as portrayed by Gérard Depardieu, before that..

    we all "nose" Edmond Rostand was ultimately responsible for those quips..

    Well, let's see, "A sad destructive little polyp" has, err, 30, so let's say 30 characters.

    A bit long, but how about:
    "Moderates where angels fear to tread"

    Or, if you really wanna suck up:
    "Franck wannabe"
