That’s a great idea.

::: rushing off to the store to get stuff for the feast at a friend’s house :::

May I recommend “Open Source Media?”

Hey, you could rename the blog “The Locker!”

Any chance of getting Mike, Peter and Mickey to guest-blog?

[ducks, gets hit anyway]

Good for you!! 

And pardon me, I coughed up a lung laughing at McGehee’s comment!  LMAOROFL!

So you’re finally gonna admit that you actually are Mark Morford?

I know how you feel.  Ahem, “Dorkafork” knows how you feel.  That “cool nicknames” search wasn’t entirely random.  Change is good.

Just remember “veryhotguy-too sexy”, “AKABaller”, and “NewsPaperMAMA” are all taken.

Hmm, “Liche Lord”?  “Skeleton Punk”?

Or are you leaving the whole undead thing behind?

How about “Little Green Man”?

No, wait, I’ve got it:  “Bug-eyed Monster”

(Sure, you could use your actual name, I suppose, but nobody does that.)

Sincerely,

Nobody

Hey, wait… Does this mean I have to stop blogging under my cheesy nom du net too?

Zombyman
Zombydude
ZombyMASTER!
Zombmeister, the Zombinator… makin’ zombies…
Archduke Furrdinand

Oops, was looking at my “list of cat names” for that last one.

Archduke Furrdinand

If you ever name a cat like that, I hope you get clawed to death… Ugh.

Anything more cutsey than can be found in Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Elliot should be justification for murder by midnight hairball.

Oh man, I should have seen this coming.

Let me guess, your new resurrection themed nick will be “Vampire Chick”?

Dude, only losers give up their blog nicknames and use their real names.

Wait a second…

Well, I don’t think Zombyboy is juvenile sounding at all. However, since psuedonyms are supposed to be fun, then if ZB isn’t fun any longer, well ...

Can we call you Undead-hominem?

Fine. Be that way.

Here, I made you a picture

I will miss the Z.  But, I really like who the Z is for real :D

Come out and play…

(You, too, Dorkafork :D)

So you’re finally gonna admit that you actually are Mark Morford?

Mark Morford was a friend of mine. Matt, Z-boy is no Mark Morford.

And thank Jebus for that, Patrick.

Seriously, Z, are you picking a new pseudonym or going by your real name? I’ve got to prepare, it’s going to take me a while to train myself to not type Zombyboy…

it’s going to take me a while to train myself to not type Zombyboy…

Yeah, me, too.

Man, all the Zomby love is getting me a little bit misty…

I’ll be going by my real name--or, at least, part of my real name--from now on. I still need to change it in the system, though, which is going to be sort of a wierd change for me, too.

Matt N, I’m going to find a way to use that graphic, you know.

When will you be announcing to the public what your supposedly “real” name is?

It’s now done. It seems to have carried the name through all of the posts, but the comments still show Zombyboy.

Odd.

Everyone who thinks the name “David” doesn’t go with the online perception of uh...David you’ve formulated, raise your hands. I’ve met him in person and it will still take me some time to get used to “David.”

You should really change your name back to Zombyboy, then create a new author named David. Otherwise anyone reading your old posts will be very confuzled.

Also: David? I’m with Patrick, I think of you by the nickname all your friends use for you.

Yes, “Mark Morford” just sounds right.

Matt:

Bosh.

David is no more Mark Morford than I am Jadis, Ice Queen in Narnia.

(Having met me before, poor David is now choking on his adult beverage, I suspect.  Heh.)

That crazy “Mark Morford!” He’s got everyone convinced his name is David!

Awww, “David J”?  I was hoping it would be something a little more inventive.  Like “Hairy Potter”.  (Again, cat list.)

How about Dr. J?  “You can call me David J, and you can call me Ray J”?  David J. Bullock?  Or David X?  David Mark 7?

BTW, why’d you settle on “David”, Mark?

Hmmm… First Jerry D, and now David J. Conicidence?

And I was hoping for “David (Call me Davy and you die) J****.”

Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees…

Matt does make a good suggestion. I think I’ll take it.

How am I going to be able to tell when it’s you commenting on other people’s blogs?  (Yeah I know hover the mouse over the name-link, but it’s not quite as easy to recognize.)

What? You mean David J isn’t as recognizable as the properly misspelled zombyboy?

That’s just crazy talk.

Can I just say that I’m thankful that Dorkafork ran with my very unfunny Mark Morford thing and made something of it? Cause I was planning on running with that until it was so unfunny it twisted back on itself, Moebius-style, and became funny for being unfunny.

Whew.

I am just really proud you correctly spelled misspelled, “David J.”

You’ve seen my mail. I’ll be sticking with my pseudonym. I think using your real name will propel you unto greater blogging heights than you’ve already achieved.
