Never. I am tickled pink by my new name, and shall never rename myself again.

Did you see how long it took to clear up my userspace and sigs when I renamed myself?? DID YOU??? Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 14:59, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

I did and was sorely tempted to add:

if($wgUser->getUsernam() == "Pink") { break; }

to the Rename extension after it was over. tmtoulouse 15:02, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

What would that do? Prevent me from changing again? Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 15:04, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

I don't like the sound of that.

Pink? What? Do you wear pink hot pants all the time?! Are you a male or a female (I never really could figure it out) Silly Mr. Cat 16:48, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

Well I certainly don't wear pink hot pants. Or any hot pants, for that matter. Ever. You can write that down. Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 16:56, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

(EC)None of us could. It is one of the great mysteries the answer to which no mortal shall ever know, along with other mysteries like the true nature of the Holy Trinity and the exact number of female religious orders in the Catholic Church. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 16:59, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

Putting together Kektklik's question and AKjeldsen's mysteries... is Pink an angel? Editor at CP^Sig(h)! 17:13, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

An intersting idea, but frankly, I doubt it. I would expect an angel to have a better taste in music. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 17:18, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

Silence, Anders.

I hereby approve this idea. Would I need to speak latin or something? Do I need to be interviewed by God first? Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 17:27, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

I'm afraid I don't have much experience in angelology, but I don't think there are any particular language requirements. Angels can speak any language they need to, as far as I remember. On the other hand, you'd probably have to give up your free will. Bad experiences with that, you know. Rebellion in Heaven and fallen angels and all that.

For further information, please see this helpful instructional video. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 18:30, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

Do angels have Youtube up (?) there? I'd hate this contest to end as too unangelic. Editor at CP^Sig(h)! 18:33, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

It's called GodTube. Silly Mr. Cat 18:42, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

Ok, Angels and Medievalists: next round will be on GodTube (but give me time to escape!). BTW, the WP article on GodTube compares it to... Conservapedia. Editor at CP^Sig(h)! 18:46, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

_{But... you can find porn on CP. Silly Mr. Cat 19:26, 22 September 2008 (EDT)}

I'm not relocating my songwar to GodTube. It's hard enough to find decent videos as it is! Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 18:48, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

For once, I agree completely. No Nightwish, no Within Temptation, no Power Symphony... this is clearly sub-standard. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 18:51, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

This by two theists like you, and after all those talks on Fallen Angels, etc. Tsk tsk. Editor at CP^Sig(h)! 18:53, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

Theism is one thing. Nightwish is something else entirely. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 18:55, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

I'm done. I can manage the rampant Atheism on this site, but Paganism! Or is it Animism? Anyway, over the top. I'll return to a friendly, Christian place called Conservapedia. Editor at CP^Sig(h)! 19:00, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

Pagan or animist? Hardly, good sir! Surely, a band that wrote a song called I Wish I Had an Angel must be good Christians through and through. Why else would they wish they had an angel? --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 19:11, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

Hug!

You should definitely link to your Jelly and custard essay. That was inspired.

Oh. Apparently it doesn't exist. The world suddenly seems... much darker :( Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 21:49, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

My sig: new and improved! Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 22:06, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

You always go for complex over elegant.

You have this eerie ability to discern people's habits. Even ones we're not aware of. And what, exactly, would "elegant" have been? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 23:36, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Well, first of all: *preens*

But essentially, I think you should go with _Essayist!RA^{Random line}. It's very neat, and we can avoid the confusion of having people clicking "Essayist" by only linking a small part of the word (one letter?) to the essay itself. What do you think? At the moment it's a bit chaotic. Even for me. Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 23:46, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

I shall take that as a compliment. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:05, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

If something is too chaotic for me, it's usually not a good thing. But I suppose you crackers will have your eccentricities. :P Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 00:09, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

You shall not dull my triumph :P Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 12:28, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Ah, but if I wasn't around with my negative spin, you wouldn't have the opportunity to argue against me, thus getting an opportunity to further embellish your achievements. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 12:48, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Not so. If you spun things positively -- especially things that might be, for the sake of argument, mind-levellingly laborious -- it would be much nicer, and would make me feel all nice.

Plus, when you walk down the street in your crimson frock coat, the gentlefolk would say "My word! There goes a nice fellow!"

Or somesuch. Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 13:08, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Sorry. You're right. It's important work, and I for one would never have had the attention span to do it. And I hope your life force recovers soon.

Not that I actually own a "crimson frock coat", mind you. I do have a grey trenchcoat, though. And a really nice hat. ^_^ --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 14:47, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

But if you don't have a crimson frock coat, what do you wear whilst japing? </perplexed> Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 14:51, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Contrary to the common opinion, it is in fact perfectly possible to jape whilst wearing clothes other than crimson frock coats. In my case, I usually wear much the same as what I do when not japing, i.e. a discreetly casual shirt and trousers. And a trenchcoat and hat if it's outdoors. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 14:56, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

I shall ignore your blatant ignorance of the finer points of japing. And your trenchcoat and hat remark makes me imagine some kind of pirate. What kind of hat are we talking about here? How many types of ornamental fruit? Roughly? Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 15:03, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Black trilby, precisely zero pieces of ornamental fruit. The idea is that you should imagine a dashing and mysterious figure like Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe, not a pirate. Who ever heard of a pirate in a trenchcoat, anyway? --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 15:06, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Dashing? Where are you dashing? Somewhere mysterious, no doubt? Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 15:19, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Oh, dear. Your relentless punning dash my feeble attempts at witticism. :-( --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 15:25, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Doesn't Yahtzee have a trilby? Are you a detective? What colour is groove? Can I have another muffin? Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 15:27, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Yes, Yahtzee has a trilby, and this fact significantly contributed to my decision to also acquire one. I am indeed a detective, in the sense that researching history is much the same as investigating crimes, except with less risk of being shot at (Usually). Groove is apparently predominantly white, plus some colours I have no idea what are or even knew existed. I'd be happy to send you a muffin, but I think it'd be quite stale by the time it got to... wherever it is you are. Also, I think you're channelling Millicent again. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 15:33, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Yours looks better than his. Although, admittedly, I only know yours from my imagination, in which I have defiantly characterised you as a most buckle-swashing pirate.

In other news, some Millie strips are almost absurd in their resemblence of Me. Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 15:42, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Update: I never cease to be amazed. It's almost like a window into my mind ^_^ Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 15:48, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Very interesting. :-) I don't know if I can quite live up to this new constructed image of Me as a pirate. Although I did take a few fencing lessons once. Until I found out I sucked at it and quit. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 15:53, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

You need:

1. Long, tangled beard
2. Crimson frock coat (wif gold bits)
3. Ship (Don't forget this part)
4. Cool pirate name ("Arrr! I be... Kjeldsen!" ... "Get off my ship.")
5. Plunder
6. To drink some grog.

I think that's about it. What are you waiting for? Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 16:02, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

I can handle the beard, given a bit of time, a coat, a name, and grog. But the other two could be a problem. And what about wenches? All the other pirates would laugh if there aren't any wenches. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 16:42, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

With plunder, comes wenches. How can you aspire to Piracy if you don't understand basic pirate logic like that?? I can always lend you the Jellygalleon if you've not got a ship -- but I'm far more interested to hear about your pirate name! Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 16:45, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

So be it. I shall be Capitaine André, le Loup de la Mer. And may le Diable take those who cross my bow. Avast! --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 17:17, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

You can't be captain. I'm captain. You're my first mate. Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 17:18, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

This was not in the contract. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 17:21, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

It was in the puntastic "Mating" section. Possibly my favourite section ^_^

Would you rather be something else? I'm sure we could both be captains if you insist -- although we'd have to share all privileges and authority, of course Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 17:24, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Nono. That would be confusing to the crew, the poor little things. I think it's a well-established pirate rule that in the end, the pirate with the coolest name gets to be captain. So if you can come up with a cooler name than mine, you get to be captain. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 17:26, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

I shall be Captain Pink, of course. I'm surprised you ask. Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 17:36, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

"Captain Pink"? What sort of a name is that? Do you think the Royal Navy will shake in their leaky boots when they hear that "Captain Pink" has set sail? --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 17:39, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Yes. The incongruity between my name and my bloodthirsty legacy will give my persona the illusion of mystery. Basic psychology, AK. Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 17:42, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Okay, you can be captain, but only because it occurred to me that I hate being a leader. But for the record, I still think it's a silly name for a pirate. You could at least think of a byname as well. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 17:51, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

"Pinkie"? *tugs your coat* What's a byname? Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 17:53, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

It's an extra name you use to inspire even more fear and trepidation in your enemies. "Capt'n Pink the something-or-other." I think it's called a byname, anyway. Nickname? Nom de guerre? --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 18:17, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Can I be the parrot on your shoulder? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 17:22, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Perhaps. Got any references? --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 17:27, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Yes. My cat can testify that I taste most like a bird. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 17:30, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

In other words, you haz a flavor. Ye're hired. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 17:39, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Yes, but that's because piracy could only ever be a part-time gig for me. I enjoy being an office slave for a living. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 17:30, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

:D Well, *I* always thought of myself as just *perfect* for Minister of Propaganda, Pedantry, and Punctuation...there WILL be a place for punctuation in the nouveau régime, yes? --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 13:01, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

A most pedantic one, I expect :) But I am puzzled as to how you hope to combine this with propaganda? Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 13:03, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

Oh, well, you see, our, that is, your, government would have a monopoly on all punctuation use. And THAT WAY, we, that is, you, would be in firm control over all subversive clauses and anarchistic grammar(s). Also, we could increase efficiency by 20% with the introduction of the interrobang into common usage! --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 13:10, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

I'm afraid I could never allow my stewardship to be sillied sullied by such heresy. Plus, your plan to hoard punctuation is, unfortunately, quite impractical. Please pack all your novelty life-sized interrobangs (yes, we've all seen them, Mr Yossarian; they stick out of your bag) and begone from my evil lair!

You may redeem yourself by making me waffles. Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 13:16, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

You really don't like Garfield, do you? ^_^ Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 18:19, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

All I'm saying is, when a comic is improved significantly by removing the main character entirely, something went wrong somewhere. Still, it could be worse. It could be Family Circus. Or Drabble. *shudder* --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 18:26, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Garfield Minus Garfield is depressing. Anyway, I have never heard tell of these other comicks you mention. Be they as awful as you imply, Daneman? Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 18:35, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

G-G is not depressive, Captain Pink, it is existential. It explores the deep existential angst that is the inevitable companion of the blandly suburban way of life in a post-modern world. Incidentally, comics like Family Circus and Drabble are much the same, only unintentionally. Family Circus, for instance, has run continuously since 1960 with the same uninteresting characters, living in the same uninteresting suburban environment, doing and saying more or less the same uninteresting things. It's like a horrible, horrible nightmare version of Groundhog Day. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 18:47, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Right, and in it's marvellous existentialism, it finds a deep deep well of depressiveness. I still don't see how Camily Fircus and... that other thing you mentioned... could be so popular without having drawn my attention. Where are they printed? Newspapers? Underneath milk cartons?

Mostly American newspapers, I believe. Of course, in this modern day and age, they have websites. http://www.familycircus.com/ and http://www.comics.com/comics/drabble/. Access these at your own risk. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 19:14, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Writing a Popular & Generic^TM comic strip looks intriguingly easy, Mr AK Jeldsen. Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 19:24, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Yes. Yes, it does, Mr/Mrs/Ms/Dr/etc. Pink. If there were someone available to actually draw the stuff, it would more or less write itself. By which I mean you could probably lift everything you need from other comics without anyone noticing. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 19:31, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Signature stuff

This is the sig that Pink build. Pink_{(It's quite complicated and difficult to use.)} 10:57, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Which is why I'm practising by talking to myself Pink_{(HELLO ME!)} 10:58, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

I can't help thinking that most people won't notice the difference... Pink_{(Which is all part of the plan, of course!)} 11:00, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Do turtles wear slippers? Pink_{(It's a legitimate question, actually :P)} 11:05, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Turtles ARE slippers. For themselves. :) --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 15:03, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

*reaches for the {{fact}} template...* Pink_{(Where is that thing? I could have sworn I had it a moment ago...)} 15:05, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

(EC)I'm really tempted to steal this "add-yer-own-comment-at-will" sig innovation, 'cause that's really cool. --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 15:08, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Perhaps you meant The Turtles? --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 15:08, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

I must warn you, the customisable talk link thing really put my mind through the wringer. At the moment, I think I'm a duck. Pink_{("Fresh out of duck jokes"^TM)} 15:10, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Ducks are my favourite animal...you look like a mowse, though. Believe me, I know my ducks, AND my mowses (People Purple George agrees). --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 15:15, 29 September 2008 (EDT)I found a duck joke, but it was rather mean spirited

Really? What is this mean-spirited duck joek? Pink_(Talklink) 15:17, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

A woman comes home on Valentine's Day with a duck under her arm. Her husband meets her at the door. She says, "This is the pig I'm fucking."

"That's not a pig, it's a duck," he replies.

"I was talking to the duck."

Mostly I find it mean spirited because whenever I banter with you I'm overwhelmed by a sense of good natured fun. --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 15:20, 29 September 2008 (EDT) Also, it's a really old joke. Also, your mowse is deceptively cute, and it supplies you with copious amounts of innocence...whether it be warranted or not...

I do like my mowsie. It's a nice mowse.

You're right, that is slightly mean-spirited. My feathers are well and truly ruffled. Pink_{(How many animals have I been now? Six?)} 15:28, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Would you say you're transbestial? --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 15:31, 29 September 2008 (EDT)best neologism I could come up with on short notice

What cheek! Pink_{(I shall have words with your mother, young man...)} 15:34, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Bu-- ch-- you-- you wouldn't really do THAT...would you? She's a very stereotypical Jewish mother, and I would not hear the end of being cheeky to fine upstanding duck-mowses. --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 15:39, 29 September 2008 (EDT) She makes really good challah though...you wouldn't want me to go without tasty Jewish bread!

I'm glad you changed it from duck-miwce -- that looks too much like "duck mince" for my comfort Pink_{(I've got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door! I've got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more!)} 15:59, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Certainly not. I am against the eating of all duckies, mowse or otherwise. --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 16:05, 29 September 2008 (EDT)The voices in your head are calling, stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming

Eating mowses is fine in the right context. Pink_{(And I can't afford to get into another songwar, so I shalln't be responding to your Clash gambit :P)} 16:35, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Really? What do they go best with? --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 21:23, 29 September 2008 (EDT)I couldn't resist the Clash song, as that lyric so beautifully tied in with yours. :D And apologies for the lateness of my reply. I was called away to the hallowed halls of post-secondary education.

A subtle red wine sauce, I'd think. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 05:37, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Code

Code isn't meant to be intuitive, silly. ^_^ If it was, anybody could do it, not just the coders. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 09:42, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Do you know how dangerous it is to hang around someone working on an extremely laborious series of chores? You will in a second...

Hello person with spare time on their hands! How would you like to help me work on a way of <nowiki-ing> the edit part of my PinkDiff template?? Pink_{("Consider yourself enlisted."^TM)} 09:50, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

I have no idea what you're talking about, but sure, I can do that. Actually, I have considerable experience with doing extremely laborious series of chores. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 10:42, 30 September 2008 (EDT) <- Sadly enough.
