Well, this is some of the fallout from the NG London meet. If that's the way it's got to be, then that's the way it's got to be >:(
"Hi, my name is Will and I have a bone to pick with my friend Dave.
You see, when I went to London the other week for the Newgrounds meetup, we all decided to meet at the White Swan & Cuckoo for drinks & Karaoke, which was a great idea in the first place, until everybody got drunk. So myself and Bex found the pub about an hour late. We bought drinks, then tried to find the meet, which hadn't arrived. We checked the beer garden, just in case they had run off there, but noone was there, so... Well we just stopped and had a drink.
Returning back to the pub, there were a few people that I recognised, so I walked up and tried to get some small talk underway - the sods thought I was just some normal run-of-the-mill Londoner. Ah, what little they know. Eventually Kirk-Cocaine recognised me and the conversation turned to introductions
"Bex, this is Harry (Kirk-Cocaine), Paul (Scuzzfest), Kez (TheHappySheep), you I don't quite know who you are (turned out to be Diamond-Armada in the end) and Shalashalsha- it was Dave (or Shalashaska-1, as he's more commonly known)"
The conversations continued and it turned out that Dave was trying to get Tom to let him have a name change - from the less conceivable Shalashaska-1, which nobody could either spell nor pronounce to, erm SkeletonGimp, as he'd achieved quite an extraordinary looking outfit for the January meet. I was quite encouraged by this, but have since had a change of heart.
You see, after the meet, because he mocked me for not being able to pronounce his name, like most people there, um, I actually spent a few minutes trying to remember how to pronounce Shalashaska-1. It's not really that difficult in the end, it's just Sha-la-shas-ka-one. Simple, really.
I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised to learn that a few days after this, Tom... allowed Dave to have his name changed and he is now known as SkeletonGimp. Quite simply the best name that Newgrounds has ever seen... behind Coop83, of course.
Finally, this rambling story gets to a conclusion and it leads me to say to Dave: "You wasted five minutes of my life. I want them back... Ah, I'd only waste them".
I guess at the end of the day, what I really want to say is congratulations, Dave, you've got a name that people can pronounce, even when they're drunk, which is a nice little achievement, because when some people are drunk, they still go on and call me Co-op :P"
