I explained this in 2002. I can't be arsed to do it again
Well, When I was a Bulletin board virgin, yes, once upon a time I was! Anyway I was on this board called Seethru. I registered with a username which I don't want to mention now because it's dead to me. Anyhow basically after the initial thrill of posting and people replying, this new communication I had discovered, this euphoric new world. I became slightly depressed. I then posted about how I was depressed.
I felt different about my username then. It seemed to be tarnished with my sadness. It had baggage.
Then there was a ruckus on the board. Long Time Poster "ben" commited BB suicide. He posted up his password. Then others did the same. Suddenly no one was sure who was controlling the usernames, it was quite excellent actually.
A short while after that "Sheik Daddy" made a username called "I am not Tav". (Tav was a popular poster of that time).
I was bored so I created a username called "I am not Dr Benway" and posted on a thread Dr Benway was on, for a joke. It wan't that funny but suddenly I found that I had reinvented myself. There was no depressing baggage wih this username and I continued to post under this guise.
Well, after a while I felt a bit guilty about it. You see, I was really clinging on to Dr Benways coat tails so to speak. Imagine a n00b calling himself "I am not Kovacs"... you can see how it would be an easy way to get attention yes?
So then Seethru went down, we moved to TMO. I used the oportunity to change my Username to "I am not..." dropping the Dr Benway and thereby losing the guilt.
I posted for many years like that and people kept abbreviating my username to IAN
I didn't like it. For starters I don't like the name and because it's an acronym but also makes a name it seems like people were always shouting it in caps. Like LONDON or PURPLE MONKEY DISHWASHER etc... you see

I don't think bandy fights lesbians. I'm sure he told me that. We were at Red Star in Brixton. We were mixing it up with some H5-2 crystals after smoking some Binknuts. His DJ mate Flash Harry was spinning some some malaysian tribal techfunk, and we were spazzled. Anyway, I fucking chuck my guts up in the bogs after necking a quart of grey goose, and he drags me out of the bogs by the cord on the bottom of my utility trousers. I was all fucked and shit, black inky crap all over my new ShoeStar trainers, wailing like a million ninjas. I told him that this Dreadnick chick had been bitching my grip (which she had), and that's why I'd told Flash Harry that the tunes were fucking 'Starsky sans Hutch' Bandy was fucking micking out at this, shouting over the telephonic hypernoise that he was gonna fuckin 'grip the bitch like no bitch had been gripped before'. Fucking halfdoubles across the rinse room, grabs the dreadnick by her plastic hurks, but she's clearly a you know, you know, so he just wrecks space over to me (I'm a nonce by now) and just as his ears blow out in two crimson explosions, he fucking screams into my nutsack eyes that he "won't tussle with diana".
posted 01 May 2001 12:14 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I sit in an office, on my own, all day. I speak to nobody, apart from people who come in and 'want' something. I have no problems regarding seethru in this respect. I have been slacking on my work quite seriously now though, and have a mountain to get through.
It constantly frustrates me that there's no money in it until you're dead, so I have to do a dull office job to get money.
I'd love to pack it all in and be bohemian. I really need to win the Lottery. Must buy a ticket...

Well, doc, go to Bohemia then. I am sure Richard could give you some pointers. Although I wouldnt know what you would do with hunting dogs, unless you the hunting kinda doc, of course. For in Bohemia they still have bears. Shoot these at the first go though, because if you miss, you will get a sore bummy. Or, if you meant like Bohemia as a figure of speech, you can always go and be fireguard on Desolation Peak and write about it. Hey !!! Watch out !!! Behind you !!!
quote:Doc When
This is why I didn't capitalise: "bohemian", rather than "Bohemian". See - there is method in my madness (that's madness as in "insanity" rather than Madness the band).

i mean, i love sitting vacantly in front of a screen so familiar i could close my eyes and recite passages from it word- for- word and wondering for the nth time why my life vacillates between the twin states of stasis and freefall as much as the next forite... but you know, im gonna have to start pleading soon. no more. please stop linking to it. i mean, why? what does it achieve? nothing. nothing. nothing tralala. i mean, how can you not be sick to retching death of your seethru selves?
