Title: The Username That Can Never Be Destroyed
December, Esq - July 23, 2008 08:04 PM (GMT)
So upon observing the interraction in the cbox where everyone was trying to one-up everyone else based upon usernames, I got to thinking . . . nothing can destroy December.
After all, December is a month. And a month is a concept of time. And what--that exists now--can destroy a month? Now, you'll never be able to get rid of the 31 days of your winter (or summer) that December usually is.
The only thing I can fathom, however, is that December is a human concept wherein nothing is set in stone that says that December even exists. It's like a number: there is no numer "5" running around to prove that five really exists. Likewise, there's no "December" meandering this earth that is the basis for the month.
Intangible usernames ftw. Can you think of a way to destroy December? Or, how would you destroy your own username?
The Dabnor - July 23, 2008 08:09 PM (GMT)
Destroying my username would involve wiping out my immediate family and my relatives on my father's side, plus a couple of other folks (Dabnor's a preeeetty rare surname because it's a major bastardisation of the name it used to be in days of yore, so there probably wouldn't be a super lot of people to track down).
So, yeah.
I'd probably rather not do that >.>
... or maybe I could just convince all the world's Dabnors to change their name to Max Fightmaster!

You can just unravel my username.
PhoenixLily - July 23, 2008 08:25 PM (GMT)
Well...If you stop calling it December the word would die out, and become meaningless. Which in effect equals the death of December.
As for my name, Well...the Phoenix part is easy. It never really existed, aside from a myth.
The lily part is easy too...just kill them all...

I'm a spazz. You don't have to defeat me, I'll defeat myself, most likely.
Sunday - July 23, 2008 09:35 PM (GMT)
You can't destroy Sunday unless you dismantle the days of the week. :]
Radsos - July 24, 2008 06:58 AM (GMT)
RAD and SOS.
These two parts of my usernames are initials of two of my most favorite, my most loved characters of all. I think about them almost every day even if I'm not roleplaying them at the moment.
So, to destroy them, then you would have to destroy all the sites that I played either of those two - or even mentioned them - then kill me, and finally kill anyone who has heard of these two characters even vaguely as well (that would include you who is now reading this and know that two characters exist of my making that have the initials RAD and SOS).
Yeah, please don't try to destroy my username. It could get very gory.
ExpectoPatronum - July 24, 2008 07:19 AM (GMT)
My username is a mixture of two things I love: pandas and Dexter, so you'd have to wipe out the pandas then kill Dexter Morgan. Which is impossible since he's immortal.
IMMORTAL, I SAY.
As for December...
Who would want to destroy December? -lifts shotgun for any takers- ;>>
Greymalkin - July 24, 2008 08:02 AM (GMT)
I'm a magical cat, I cannot be destroyed.
Meow.
WildeThing - July 29, 2008 12:59 AM (GMT)
Wilde might be dead, but his wit is undestroyable.
Tulojow Nagde - July 29, 2008 02:51 AM (GMT)
Heh - so, I have to go off on this fake rant tangent, December. You asked the question about destroying a month and ... well, forgive me, but I couldn't resist.
Well, you can't necessarily destroy December completely, but you can ruin it's reputation and slander it, thereby making it a mere shadow of its former self. For, December, is an imposter and falsly represents itself. Much as October and September falsley represent themselves. Sept-, Oct-, Nov- and Dec- all allude to a certain positioning in the passage of time. They claim to be the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth months, respectively. They give the impression of being nice and orderly, but if one were to look closer, one would see the imposters.
Aye, if it weren't for Julius Cesar, they'd be standing tall in their finer glory of being properly named. Back before Augustus and Cesar had their own little one-up game, by creating their own months (August and July, again respectively), September, October, November, and, alas, your own December were all properly labeled and positioned. But, when the two new months were squeezed in to make the world leaders feel better about themselves, did the months change themselves to represent the new order? Did they then properly rename themselves November, December, Undecember and Duodecember? It appears not.
So, with all this ambiguity, I might question the trustworthiness of your username. Are you really claiming to be the tenth or the twelfth month? And, how will we ever know? Makes me wonder if you are a shadier figure than you present yourself as.
- Haha - ok, that was fun. You asked, and I had to answer. Thi is probably why some of my teachers loved me and some hated me. I've written whole papers like this.
Mousie - July 29, 2008 03:09 AM (GMT)
By this here agreement of Tulujow Nadge, and in order to return the months of the year to a non-confusing naming system, I hereby declare the new names!
Mousetember, Mousetober, Mousevember and Mousecember.
There. No numerical prefixes to confuse the masses. And thus, I have destroyed December.
How to destroy Mousie? It would be as hard as destroying Awesome. I mean, you could try the usual rat traps and cheese, but while mice like cheese, the Mousie doesn't... perhaps the lure of high speed internet under an enormous anvil set to drop would work...
Tulojow Nagde - July 29, 2008 03:13 AM (GMT)
Heh - see, I couldn't really discuss my own name, for destroying it is a bit too easy. No one can ever manage to spell it and I've yet to meet someone who can pronounce it without help - so it gets demolished all the time. But, being rather like the phoenix, we just rise again, so it's all good.
beta pleated sheet - July 29, 2008 03:18 AM (GMT)
*Warning: science jargon ahead*
Since beta pleated sheets are a secondary structure in protein, tey can be destroyed with intense heat or extreme pH levels. However, to completely destroy all beta pleated sheets, you would have to destroy all know life.
mrs.lovett - July 29, 2008 03:41 AM (GMT)
Well, I don't think my name can be destroyed...Well, actually it was...Haha. Burnination! But anyway, to actually destroy the name and not the person, you'd have to destroy an amazing musical or the guy who wrote the musical, Stephen Sondheim. Destroying Sweeney or destroying Sondheim is not the most intelligent thing to do. Since both are the epitome of awesome. You could do it. But people would come after you. Me included.
WAIT! Nooo. I forgot about the fact that Sweeney was originally an old newspaper story titled A String of Pearls! You can't destroy that! It's an antique! The people from the antique road show would so come after you and take away everything you own and claim it was antiques! Then they'd dismember your body and put each separate part in a different one of your "antiques"! I'm so twisted. I've always been this way, so don't blame it on Sweeney.
Sashokun - July 29, 2008 03:51 AM (GMT)
Sashokun is a like a fake japanese version of Sasha. Sasha was originally a male name in Russian, but became a female name everywhere else. Plus I am a male. Connect the dots?
xing - July 29, 2008 04:14 AM (GMT)
It would be difficult and virtually impossible to destroy Xing because it has many meanings.
Xing is defined as a crossing. You'd have to destroy every crossing for starters.
Xing also means star in Chinese. You'd have to destroy every star in the universe and galaxy. That includes the Sun. If you destroy the Sun, we all die. If Xing gets destroyed, we all get destroyed.
Xing is also a common baby name for boys and girls in China. Possibly it also holds the same in Vietnam.
Xing is a very common surname in China.
Xing is also known as a social network platform used by over 190 countries.
Xing is also the name of a Korean boy band.
silent cacophony - July 29, 2008 04:16 AM (GMT)
Ummm. Well, my name is an oxymoron. "Silent" is a no-brainer, but cacophony generally means a "harsh, discordant sound" so .. You'd have to destroy both silence and sound?
Wrap your mind around that. XD
Carbohydrated - July 29, 2008 04:17 AM (GMT)
Can't you just burn off carbs or something? Problem solved.

With the power of the Atkins diet, I doth destroy ye.
(which is funny since my diet is about the furthest from Atkins one can get)
Delta Team Curt - July 29, 2008 05:49 AM (GMT)
You would have to take on the best of the best of the US Military to destroy Team in my name, and then erase a letter from a language that has been in use for almost 2800 years : P
Then finally you must kill me, but thats a felony : P

-Warning: Extreme fan girl goo-
So...The story of Sweeny Todd and Mrs. Lovette is like one of the hoogah boogah stories Londoner children had been told since around the 16-17th centuries.
Even before the story A String of Pearls.
So Mrs. Lovett is a concept that would have to go back a few generations to do away with........

Catastrophe86 - August 2, 2008 08:14 PM (GMT)
There's no way to get rid of all catastrophes, so sorry guys: there's just no getting rid of me!
AshBeanNun - August 2, 2008 10:52 PM (GMT)
My username is a combined effort to evade destruction!
Ash: you create more ashes by burning/blowing them up. You can't drown them, and you can't make everyone in the entire world stop burning things anyways, so there will always be more ashes.
Bean: This is a precious world commodity. Hundreds of thousands of people--rabid chocoholics and caffeine addicts included--would need to be wiped out before you could destroy them. Let's face it...no one wants to stop drinking their coffee or eating their Godiva.
Nun: God's on the side of the nun. Automatic phail.
MmmNaana - August 4, 2008 12:20 AM (GMT)
Well, mine is like .... Someone saying Mmmmmm Banana. Hence - MmmNaana.
So eat the banana then theres nothing to mmmmmm over.
Aeris - August 4, 2008 12:29 AM (GMT)
Aeris- hm well how would you destory 'Aeris'
First you'd have to destory every FFVII lover in the world.((that would be all instalments, not just FFVII) Then you'd have to destory every single copy of ALL of the games, and the movies.((including the ones on YouTube)
Then, you'd have to go and destory every single FanFic every written. Then you'd have to hunt down anyone who has EVER rp'ed with me, because I use her as my base character.....
sunny - August 4, 2008 04:33 AM (GMT)
I guess to destroy 'sunny' all you'd have to do is take the sun away.
. . . either that or plant a huge palm tree over the entire world so nothing is sunny. But then I guess the palm tree might be sunny . . .
Temperance - August 4, 2008 07:08 PM (GMT)
Temperance is a quality of personality, an attitude etc. It's moderation. To destroy that...do anything excessive, and ignore forms of moredation. Lose Self-control! Go wild!
...as a tarot card. Burn all temperance cards and kill everyone who ever knew about the existance of that card.
.......you will also have to get rid of people called Temperance and all things related to that name and word. Which means you will also have to destroy a lot of dictionaries and all.
.44 Magdalene - August 7, 2008 05:42 AM (GMT)
My name is a combination of a firearm and a religious reference.
... I got nothin'.
