Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:

Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.

I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”

I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

  • I’ve seen that look… Right before he suddenly leaps up & takes off down the hall at warp speed as if he realized he forgot something. Of course, when he gets there he’s already forgotten what it was so he just acts like what he just did didn’t actually happen despite everyone watching him wondering what all that was about.



  • Sorry, I feel the opposite. With each day bringing ever more absurd crap & destruction from this admin, waiting for the time for this all to be over with has slowed down and stretched out (like a horror movie hallway) to the point of feeling like this shit will never end.

    The only way to make that graph make sense to me is if you added a toilet to the bottom.
