[quote=DrCrypt]Why would quatoria tell Machfive that that image was funny?

Because it was funny, despite the fact that Machfive was a fucking psychopath. If somebody makes me laugh out loud, even if I don’t like them, I’ll still compliment 'em for it.[/quote]
Machfive was a psychopath? Hmm, I missed this.

Uh oh! Well, here’s a little evidence from the logo thread:

@Mach Go Go Go

Ever since I first began going by the moniker Mach5, a drastic shift occured in my life. It was under this handle that I went from a social outcast, dork in every way, shape, and form, to someone who could be extroverted under most circumstances. It was under this handle that I realized I wanted to be a graphics designer, when I first learned to shoot a gun, when my political beliefs experienced massive tectonic shifting moving me from a judgemental right-winger to a centrist libertarian.

I’ve been called Mach by virtually everyone I met online, and they continued to do so when we met in meatspace. I DJ’d at a radio station and had callers requesting songs and complimenting “Mach” on his taste in music.

It’s simply a matter of Penis McFaggerton is who I was. It was a name for the dorky, socially inept kid who wore coke-bottle glasses and flannel every day in junior high.

Mach Five is who I am, and if I could, I’d go back in time and kick Ryan’s ass for taking so long to become me.

In order for me to fully complete the sunset of Penis McFaggerton, I need to shed this Real World Screename to which I’ve become tired and disgusted with.

It’s not a matter of whether changing my name is a good idea or a bad idea - It’s something I have to do, consequences be damned. I don’t care if some close-minded potential client scoffs at my name. I want to be able to introduce myself to everyone as Mach, “Yes, that’s my real name.” It’s vital to me that my name accurately reflect who I am.

This post probably makes me sound schizophrenic, but at this point, I don’t care what anyone here thinks. After all this, it’s going to take a while before I give a shit about anything which happens to me on these forums.

Extra-crazy parts bolded for clarity. I want to film The Mach Five story, as soon as I can shoehorn Philip Seymour Hoffman’s self-loathing bumbling style into Sean Penn after starving him and shrinking him in a pressure cooker.

My lasting favorite to all this, next to Chet’s comments, is that Penis never got it that people will just think his name is Mark and that he might have a speech impediment if he changed his name.

For me the most amusing aspect of those threads is how comprehensible Brian Koontz is; and how so many people find themselves noticing that, and being surprised.

Man, that’s some quote. I shoulda read that thread closer.

“I used to be a dorky sinner who deserved to get his ass tossed into the fiery lake for not comprehending the power of TheMonikerMach5. Ever since I invited TheMonikerMach5 into my heart, things have been nothing but candy and puppies with soft, blunt teeth! Can I get an amen?”

Weird how one can acknowledge the fact that one is an introverted, bespectacled dork, perceive it as a problem, and seek to remedy it, not by, say, trying to be a little more friendly to people or by not endlessly talking about the virtues of Capn Picard vs. Capn Kirk when one meets a girl; but by doing something… completely over-the-top dorkopathic like changing one’s name to a velocity.

It’s sad, really. Sad that he went from Ryan to Mach5 instead of going from Ryan to Ryan on appropriate medication.

Having started to read the book Jennifer Government, I think he should change is name to Mach5 Gillette. Then he can brag to all the chicks that he’s gonna inherit the family fortune.

Generally pretty nutty.

I’ve been called Mach by virtually everyone I met online, and they continued to do so when we met in meatspace. I DJ’d at a radio station and had callers requesting songs and complimenting “Mach” on his taste in music.

Now, I may be a bit square, but wouldn’t people call you by your online name or your DJ name if your name was only “Mach Five” instead of “Ryan Dooflefingus”? If his business card said “Mach Five”, why would anyone bother calling him by his real name, except for the IRS?

I’d be mighty surprised if people started calling me Velocity c out of the blue if I always had my name (as it stands today) Alan Dunkin. But that’s just me.

Alan Dunkin diagnosed: not crazy. Penis McFaggerton: crazy.
