Don't know if you are joking or serious, Brendan, but thinking back on all the outrageous comments posted by him since joining the Foro, you may be on to something.

Just ask Karnak the Magnificent...

Having inherited the role of Karnak the Magnificent from Johnny Carson, Rob, I suggest you drop the bejeweled turban lest you be charged with appropriating one or another group's culture. You can replace it with a home-made sailor's hat made of folded newspaper.

Geolocation says it is not Jason

I decided to replace it with a construction helmet covered in tinfoil instead. It protects me from the geolocation radar beams...

Uh-oh. Are you saying you know where I've been logging in from this whole time?

How precise is this geolocation device of yours? Could it tell the difference between, say, someone logging in from their living room and someone logging in from an adjacent secret room that doesn't show up on the building's blueprints and is covered entirely in heavy sound-proofing panels? Not that I have such a room. ah ha. erm... just an example, I mean, you know, hypothetically speaking.

edit: it now occurs to me that this is the wrong place to make that joke, because all you guys are thinking is that it must be my guitar practice room.

He could be pretty young; 20s for example. 'devilhand' sounds like a (youngish) gamer's nickname. Simon knows where he is from.

It was me all along! Haha! I wanted to be a novelist… I AM a novelist, I can create richly absurd characters like wot you find in Dickens and Austen but those fools who run publishing can’t see my genius. But now, ahah after months of work I have my own Uriah Heep, my own Mr Collins. My rightful claim to literary greatness can no longer be denied!
