CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Well, I thought that I would let everyone know that my name is no longer Piloswine, it is now Scribs. I chose to do this because after 1000 posts I decided that the name piloswine didnt fit me. The new one may not either, but at least it isnt the name of a pokemon, and it is capitalised.

Just thought I would let you all know who this is (though I suspect you might have been able to guess from the avatar and the sig) cause it really thew me through a loop when I saw the names of some other members change their names.

To add a little more purpose to this thread I am attaching a poll.

EDIT: post 1000! W00t!

Scribs ... sounds like a crewmember name for a weekly sci-fi series to me. ^^

Now I have to edit my sig!

Claws on a blackboard.

Scribs sounds like someone who writes begging letters in a Dickens novel.

when I hear scribs, i think of scrubs

I hit the shower one, cause I wanted to know what a clold shower would be like.

Sorry bud, had to do it.

yeah, it makes me think of either that dumb medical sitcom or a scribble as in a quick drawing or something like that, so i can't really pick any of 'em

Dude, I choose lumberjack. I think your new name suits you well.

I am glad that you all like my new name.
I am also glad that only one of you voted for lumberjack so far.

Lumberjack? Well, you asked for it!



Lumberjack:
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night. I work all day.

Mounties
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

Lumberjack:
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

I wasn't sure if I could post the rest of it.

Are you suggesting there's anything unmanly or not OK about our fine lumberjack?

Scrib sounds like the blood pack they use to simulate splatter in the movies.

What exactly *is* a piloswine?
A wine?
A pig that likes soft bedding?
Some kind of obscure word?

hehe, nice.... i wish i could edit my name yet again, but Ash only allows once *sighs*

What were you before and what do you want to be?

The name strikes me as something that would be lying near a sewer and probably involved unusually large rats. That didn't really detract from the name for me. It works.

I thought it was the name of a ballpoint pen.

I think that might be BIC

I voted for the crayon option, but it also sounds like some kind of icky disease, as in, "I have the scribs, so I can't come to work this week." O_o

Where'd you get the inspiration for the name from?

Its a nickname that I have in real life.

It reminded me of something, but I don't remember what now. o.o;;;

But I think it's incredibly cute.

The first thing that I thought of when I read the name was Bartleby the Scrivener. Either that, or a goblin merchant in some random RPG.

There wasn't an options for "Dull Word Game" oO I like teh new name, though.

You may be associating the word "scabs" with his new SN.

The first thing that came to my mind was a short form of "Scribbles." So, I picked the "crazed crayon artist." It matches the creative style you've demonstrated in the coloring contest, although I'm pretty sure you have not limited yourself to crayons.

Another association I briefly considered had a more fear-oriented touch, perhaps some thing that I would expect in a horror movie like "Chuckie", "Willy" and "Boogieman." I'm not sure why...I can't find a word that I'm associating it with. It's not "cribs" and neither should it be "creeps."

Oh well, eitherways, I'm glad to see that only your name has changed and you're still with us. ^__^

Scribs remind me of the word "squib." So sorry my non-magical friend.

No, really, I like it. I never could pronoune your old name anyways.

*wishes there was a harder laughing icon* Oh my.

Lol, actually it reminds me of the word "squib" most for some reason (don't know if you're a Potter person or not, so if you're not I guess you won't get it. . .) I don't know why, it really does sound like scrubs more, but for some reason that just popped into my head. . . so I'm going with it

But since that wasn't an option I just picked the one about crayons.

EDIT: WOW, I SERIOUSLY didn't read Osaka's post before I made mine. . . we really ARE psychic! O.O

Remi

I voted for the crayon thing, it sounds like something else though, not sure what.
