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.

Be generous & call it flattery.
“Esquire” is an unusual last name, never mind two middle names.
(You should put a comma before “Esquire” if that’s not the last name.)

Slow that mind child
Well, they’ve got that Strawberry Shortcake just waiting to be destroyed - all you’ve gotta do is join the “destructive” protest.
There goes that heroic duo again!
Especially with the color choice. To me blue indicates it’s the cool thing to do, while red equates to “stop, don’t do this.” Yet the “only” thing you’re supposed to do (whichever one one it actually is) is printed in the red background. WTF were they thinking?

I can’t help but find this sentence amusing. If born deaf, aren’t they hearing for the first time? I know the explanations for this, but it’s still sloppy writing, IMHO.

0·8 months agoRun a personal VPN server at the home address and have external users route through it. I’d think it’d work for any subscription service doing this crap. I’m surprised nobody has started selling a turnkey self-hosted VPN device that even a non-techie can get running in a few steps - all the end users would need is an app that does split tunneling for the media players.
