OMG
THIS IS HILARIOUS
I WAS LOOKING AT LAST NAMES AND...
I noticed "Radiks" was one of the new ones. I laughed sooo hard omg. And then in the midst of my confusion, I paused to quietly contemplate the system of the world, and then I laughed some more. It was like one big baroque cycle or perhaps even a grand cryptonomicon, a puzzle waiting to be figured out during the snow crash of the winter -- perhaps taking place in the setting of some big u-turn. Like life, its loops and redundancies, just when everything turns to charcoal you wish for a diamond age. I proceeded to look towards the heavens for a sign from the zodiac and began typing here on this non-neurotactical interface.
*pauses*
Alright... fess up... Lindens, who's responsible? ^_^
Yours truely,
TT

Personally, I think Sangamon would be a far better last name (even though it's technically a first) than RadiKS.

Radiks was the name of the courier company that YT worked for in the novel Snow Crash. I kind of think it works as a last name. They chose Raven as a last name after all=) And Protagonist.
I'm surprised wee haven't seen such simple names like Lee or Rife.
I wait for the day we have an L.Bob Rife in game.

Speaking of: can we perma-ban all DBZ fans, or would that be going too far?

Let me modify my statement: can we perma-ban all DBZ fans wo are above the age of 13?
I say this because the kind of action and "story" in DBZ tends to appeal to children, such as your 5 year old, and young adults, who tend to be intellectually comparable to your 5 year old. Any public forum in which DBZ fans congregate tends to become as appealing as the neighborhood crack house.

As a side note, for the longest time, I thought it was pronounced DRAGON-BALLS.

Apparently it's "Dragon Ball Zee" and not "Dragon Ball Zed". Go figure.

Speaking of new last names...I noticed the last name "Duck" the other day. I thought that was funny. Sunny Buttercup and I were going over classic first names to go with that like "Howard" (Howard the Duck), Donald, Daffy and my favorite Daisy lol. Anyways, thought I would throw that in. Huggerz, MJ

Torley, I'll send you a Family Group with that name for your alt to join, k? Thanks Prokofy... but pfft I went to the signup form and Radiks is NO longer available.  Why? I don't see that many with that name... have approx 150 already used it up? :\ Ack... my alt plans have been foiled. *shrugs* MrsJ: LOL... yeah I've seen some funny ones with that last name already. I'm surprised there isn't a Peking Duck yet.
