I refuse to post a poll thread so I'll ask for simple answers from folks(Also, I can discriminate as to whose opinions actually matter)

SO do we like EBW or is the ol'EvilBollWeevil peoples faves?

I'd like newbies to answer please, as well as my cronies :)
 
A rose is a rose is a rose

I agree with MysteryJKR, it doesn't really matter. But if you feel more comfortable changing it, then go ahead.
 
Wow, those have to be the two most unhelpful posts ever. I won't have my feelings hurt. Yeesh.

I appreciate the Rose thing though ;)
 
bah! my reply went before my original post! thats the first time its happened to me. Bloody curses! *shakes fist at screen* dooohh!!
 
Me go sleep now.....want post near top......need opinion......bow to public pressure.....Zzzzzz
 
Personaly, I'd stick with EBW. Liked both of them about the same, but it's easier to remember the spelling on this name.


;)
 
I like EBW because it's easier for me to type. But if your name was EvilBollWeevil, I'd probably still call you EBW, because it's easier for me to type. So you could go with EBW, but then the next generation of newbies wouldn't know what it stood for. Which might be cool, kinda mysterious. Or not. Up to you, bro. If I were you, I'd go with EBW, but I'm lazy. I'd shorten Laurel if I could.

How about we cal you "L" just like the they shortened mother to "M" in the bond movie's :D
 
EBW is blah, just a bunch of initials. EvilBollWeevil is weird, which is good. Plus it gives you license to make bug references. An EBW would look out of place doing that. And we'll still refer to you as EBW. I'm not typing out EvilBollWeevil every time. Especially when I'm tying to beat you to a post.
 
I agree with Mischka...

EvilBollWeevil is distinctive and odd (in a good way) which makes it more memorable. In my mind it evokes a voracious little bug chompin' happily on a cotton boll in a sweltering southern cotton field, and then I can't help but get the old song, "Those ol' Cotton Fields Back Home" stuck in my head:

when those cotton bolls get rotten, we won't be pickin' much cotton,
in them ol' cotton fields back home.
It was down in Looziana, just about a mile from Texarcana,
in them ol' cotton fields back home...


So I guess what I'm saying is don't trade your identity for a new hip set of initials. Remember when Kentucky Fried Chicken became "KFC". 'Nuff said, really, but just to reinforce my point: cherish your identity as the scourge of the Southern cotton farmer. Value your pestilence.

Embrace your inner weevil.

Everyone's saying they like EvilBollWeevil more just because I said I like EBW. That's it, huh?
