Thinking of changing my DU name. What should I change it to?
Greetings KOEB'ers,

As you probably know, a period of name-change amnesty has been declared on DU for right after the End of the Error--an opportunity for all DU'ers with dated names to come up with something more current for the times.

I've been thinking of changing mine. It was meant to have a double meaning: not just "berry bush" but "bury Bush." Figuratively, of course, as I always emphasize to make sure Agent Mike understands. :-)

Well, now that we've buried Bush, so to speak, I think it's time for me to take a new name. Yet I still feel it should have "Berry" in it because that's how you guys know me.

If I do, what do you think I should change it to? I'm almost tempted to make it "BerryObama" (as in, a pun on "Barry Obama")--but then it also has the double meaning of "bury Obama," and I don't want that.

I was thinking of "BarryBerry"--a pun on the disease--but who wants to be named after a disease? Besides, I looked it up and "beri-beri" means "I cannot, I cannot"--the exact opposite of the sentiment expressed in "Yes, We Can."

I seem to be short on ideas. Except for maybe something like "BerriedBush." But really, I'd kind of like to be rid of him completely, even in my name.

Any ideas?? :shrug:

8. Or TAFKABB.
Or one of these:



Otherwise, I'd go with ObamaBerry, or DemBerry. But you're not from Michigan, so I'd advise against DingellBerry.
