Over on twitter I am seeing how long it takes the mods—if there are any left—to hit on me for hurting Elon Musk's feelings by renaming myself.

Currently I'm up to "Elon Musk swives goats" (having skipped "fuck" because that's low-hanging fruit for bluenose bots), having started with "Elon Musk sucks goats" and, well, you get the picture.

Am thinking of ramping up to "Elon Musk swives goat clunge" tomorrow morning.

Any suggestions for where to go next?

@cstross Not sure I have an exact suggestion, but I will note that some goats are kinda adorable.

Pigs, on the other hand, ... and blobfish...

@spaf @cstross unfair to the blobfish. That's just how they handle pressure.

In Defense of the Blobfish: Why the 'World's Ugliest Animal' Isn't as Ugly as You Think It Is

The blobfish is the world's ugliest animal. But we don't think the contest was very fair

@cstross Just saw the note from Mush on Twitter than impersonation that isn't labelled as parody will result in permanent suspension. FYI.
