I thot it wuz teh funnee but I noo eemeediatly dat it were not reely Teho but sumbody mayking teh klever joke.

Howeber, I gess der is teh risk uv abyoos by yoosing udder peeps naymz.

Yip. Must konsider eet a lesson learnt. Kthxbye.

Teho - I are very sorree. I thort everyone would get it straight away! Didn’t think peeple wud relly think it was yoo!!!! Wuzzint meant as an iedn… iden… stealing of your name. At all.

But I guess you could say, if it wasn’t mean’t as an idnet… ident… theft of your name, then I should have sed so strait away.

My efense is, where I lib (defnitly not anywhere near the contiguous states of America, I has to tell you), we don’t get so very upset by such little things.

If somebuddy get killed, yip, that’s pretty bad, mebbe our news-peppers print summing about that, Or mebbe not.

Juss trying to give some perspective, hope that helps, kthksbai.

PS: my area of residence = Jhb, Gauteng, Rep of SA

I thought it was f***ing hysterical, actooly ;o)

Thks stend. Want to teleport into my closet? You are welcome anytime!

Has secret sure-to-be-un-ful-filled fantasies involving stend

Jules, as you well know, I thought it was verree funny indeed. And you WERE playing off my saying Teho must never give up being against saying “first,” weren’t you?

And we should (as you say) have known AT ONCE that the real Teho’s name is in bloo and yours was in black - and you NEVER imitated me - just gave - what I thought, was a really clever answer. I thought it was also funny that Teho didn’t notice that my name was not right.

SO - I won’t forgive you, because I don’t think you really did anything wrong. I just thought it clever and fun and merry and mischievous. I was really quite certain I could figure it out- but I don’t think you ever gave any more clues. Teho probably scared you!! As well he might!

Very brave of you to “confess,” all things considered. Shows you have lots of character, I think. So, dear Jules, do stay. You keep saying kthxbai, which worries me that you may not think you are welcome here anymore, which I assure you, is absolutely NOT the case.

We need funny and sweet and nice people like you.

South Africa, you say. That IS far away - but I guess we are all quite far from each other. That’s the beauty of this place - so many people loving the same things and thinking so much alike but from all over the world.

You know, it would be fun if people would announce from time to time where they are from. We know b! and stend and Melissa and Gayla - and Nika and Teho. I think I’ll make me a list.

To start (though I think I may have said it before) I’m from St. Joseph, Michigan, on the southeastern shore of the beautiful Lake Michigan, just 90 miles around the lake from Chicago. ummm USA.
