Default Party asking to change name

This is new. Had the same screen name for nearly a year. Now they want me to change. O well, maybe something more offensive this time. This just came out of no where.

1) Don't tease

2) I must say I've watched your avatar at least a hundred times over the last month, and never without a smile.

It's not real; that penguin on the right is using a joint that penguins don't have. But it's still amusing.

As the prude here, I'm glad they're doing this. Heck -- it's their property, so if they don't like an online nick as innocuous "PokerPlayer" then they have every right to ask the player to change it.

Nevertheless, we've all seen extremely crude nicks with references to sodomy, etc. Part of being a "good player" IMHO is making the table atmosphere welcoming to the casual player. We all want the once-or-twice-a-month player to continue to play poker.

Now, all penguins aside, what was your screenname? If you don't want to tell it, what does it rhyme with? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
