I don't see what's so confusing about it. Here, let me replace some of the pronouns and see if that helps...

I've met far too many [Playgrounders] for anyone not [in the Playground] to remind me of any [Playgrounders].

In other words, no one can remind me of PhoeKun because I've met her and there is no other like her. The same applies to the rest of the Playgrounders I've met.

But me, I am just a generic face that others can be mistaken for at will.

Well, that makes me feel much better about myself.

Glad you got such a good mark. And I only provided some site links and a little bit of perspective vis a vis what it did to feudalism.

Personality clones are easy enough. But I have the local equivalents of CSK (looks when compared to You thread pics); ruki - chan (personality); SMEE (looks; SMEE - clone has a horrible personality); and someone who occasionally displays Eggy and Charity - like tendencies.

I've been systematically exterminating my so-called "clones" since I was 16...

...bloody things escaped the basement and I've been hunting them down ever since.

I think its perfectly legal to shoot any Cristo-Clones on sight in about thirty states.

In Oklahoma and Texas, its pretty much legal to shoot anything that moves (I think the "Make my Day" Law passed a couple years back...)

Yeah, after the Great Buildup of '99 a lot of states had to start passing measures to keep it from happening again.

Damn things multiply like rabbits.

We're pretty sure we've gotten all of the ones in Florida, New York, and California and there's a cell in Nebraska we're keeping an eye on.

So, here's a random question. I just realized that I can have my forum handle changed. I'm kinda torn on if I want to change it a lot or a little. I could just replace the underscore with a space, or go for something like my actual name (Patrick) which is what I originally wanted when I signed up for the forum but was taken. What do folks think?

And yes, I am that bored at work today.

Either he's already fallen and is just in denial or he has the most forgiving patron I've ever seen.

I'm going with the former.

If I were you, I'd change it completely, and not tell anyone. Start over, and have them think you are someone completely new.

But that's just me.

Is there some sort of muffin themed event going on here?

When was the last time you saw a three-tailed silver squirrel themed week?

Yes. It is.
Do it. Now.

In slightly related news: I had a wonderfully perfect geeky moment of joy today. Why? A collection of ancient texts (most of them have the original language and translation next to them) from pretty much some of the best mythologies and very good writings full stop.
Welsh - it has the entire Mabinogion and many Taliesin poems.
Irish.
Chinese - it has the Art of War on it.
Greek.
Latin.
So. Many. Books. To. Read.

I'm sadly running out of new books to read. I just finished the Thrawn Trilogy, on Shadows of the Empire now, and the Aenied after that, then I'm out.

I must rectify this situation...

why is everyone so keen on Mordokai/Cristo slash?

If you mean the twice-gender-bent version, then no, it isn't hot.
