"theCryptofishist" or...
...is it "Fishy"?
I've often wondered. Is that her handle? Would only those idiots in Terminal Village use "Fishy" when talking about her? Should others use "Fishy"?
Inquiring minds need to know.

I call her fishy because I like her, however I hope I'm not being too familiar by using a possible nickname that only her closest friends use. I also like Ms.Fishy. It's very nice, yet not ostentatious.
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

I've just been wondering about the pronunciation and syllabic emphasis since I landed here.
In my head I say cryptAHfishist... But I heard a burner pronounce it CRYPTOfishist which just sounds awkward to me.

I know about the playa birth name! I think having a playa name given to me will be part of my rite of passage into the bosom of the BM family. It'll be interesting to see what it may be.
I was just teasing you jk!How can one come up with an appropriate nick name when one hasn't even met you? Plus, if you've never been to the playa, tradition holds that your playa name needs to be bestowed upon you there. That was how I got the playa name of "Elderberry". (That's three syllables.)

So what was your first playa name OED?oneeyeddick wrote:I let everyone else give me my first Playa Name, never did like it.
I gave myself this one..much better, and easier on the ears.
