Ditto!

(But chocolate? Not vanilla praline fudge?)

Goodbye, Dolores, hello Rebew.

Joyce DeWitt? I could see having a fun time with her. Well, '70's her, not old her now.

Hello, Unca @Fenris? What's a girl gotta do to class up her name? Seriously, dude, I'm tired of the old one and want to shed it like a snake skin on a hot August day in Vegas. Help a sister out.

Please.

But then I'd have to give up the Knob for the Regal Beagle.

Got it. Sorry everyone, been out of town.

[Rebo]

I know, that's why I tagged G-man and Haj.

Good job, Fenris!

[Jaglavak]

So when are you going to change your name back to Mortimer Wilhelm MacDonald?

[Khampelf]

To celebrate the painful transition I'm going through, I'd like to furthermore be known as Khampobbit.

[Zeener Diode]

Why do I get the feeling we're about to start addressing you as Khampella?

Musta been all that cough syrup you drink. How do you mean? Khamp is fine, I'm just trying to drop the helpful elf schtick and seek my own comfort like a hobbit.

I've no idea what you're on about, please don't call me Khampella. When I'm poked with a stick, I'm liable to snatch it out of my tormentors hands, break it in half and poke out both their eyes with it.

I still don't get the Khampella thing.

Please spell it Khamphobbit. It's a pun if you know your Deutch.

I'll pronunce it with a hard 'p' sometimes, and sometimes pronounce the ph like phone, untill I decide which one is correct.

It means 'fighting midget' in German.

Yeah, yeah. I'm trying. Very very trying.

I had a nice nap in one of those special coats and I feel much better.

[Khampelf]

HEy, Giraffe, forget the hobbit nonsense, please.

I am who I am, like it or lump it.

Why are you fighting midgets now? (And don't they preferred to be called "little people"?) Are you dealing with a midget infestation? Have you been playing Randy Newman 45s around the clock?

[Dragonlady]

Little Person or Dwarf. My Granddaughter is one. Not everyone is offended by midget, but some REALLY are.

[JackieLikesVariety]

what does your Granddaughter prefer, then, Little Person?

[Khampelf]

My bad, it was merely a style thing. "Fighting little person' just doesn't convey the menace, somehow.

[SmartAleq]

She's still a very little little person so likely cannot yet articulate a preference. She's adorbs, whatever you call her!

[Dragonlady]

She is 3, and so, has no opinion and has yet to be offended by much of anything.

Generally "Little Person" is preferred according to "Little People of America". But usually they will tell you something like "My name is Mary, I prefer that you call me that". They see the condition as one small aspect of who they are, and prefer not to make it anymore than that. So far, I use dwarf to describe what she looks like, since every 3 year old is a little person.

[Random Precision]

Fighting Dwarves sounds reasonably menacing.

Battle Dwarves sounds like a video game.

[Khampelf]

Both true, but the German for dwarf is 'Zwerg'.

Khampfzwerg? I don't think so.

[Jaglavak]

How about Zwergelf? You could show up late to every roll call.

[Kat]

Dwarf-elf?

My mom had a thing for hairy toes, you see....

[Jaglavak]

Sure thing, Khampy-san.

I see what you did there.

[Pencil]

I hereby request that @Fenris be renamed Major Malfunction and demoted from admin to modhood of one forum only, the former GBB, now called hullabaloo.
At the same time elevate to admin.

[JackieLikesVariety]

She is 3

@Dragonlady we need photos!

[Hobo with a spatula]

I would like to change my name to 'Hobo with a shotgun', please.

I'll be just over here, toasting hot dogs with sterno and toasting the stars with a tall can of Olde English.

Oh, and does anyone have a shotgun they can loan me?

[JackieLikesVariety]

you expecting trouble, Hobo?

Would a Western Field 505 pump action 12 gauge work for you? Because I know a closet that has one in it.

That would do just fine. Only how do I know the shotgun isn't in there all rigged up to blow my head off? I know you uptight straight people have it in for hobos because you hate our freedom.

I'm gonna flip you the bird and catch a rail.

Damn fucking people.

You're the first to recognize that! But I must embrace my inner Python for the journey ahead.
