Some suggested techniques for obtaining that Killer Forum Tag:

1. The Bowie Method : Cut letters/words out of the Newspaper & drop a handful on a page. Half a dozen throws should yield something useful... This is how David Bowie (substituting his notebook for newspaper) writes songs... Since this is derived from the Shamanic tradition of seeing the future in the entrails it is entirely possible that you will, in fact, generate tommorrows news headlines... Under no circumstances should you post these, you could well damage the delicate fabric of the space/time continuum, instead for the purpose of verifaction please email them to me directly. Sporting results & the stockmarket do have priority here...

2. Slartibartfast : Douglas Adams (of Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy Fame) once explained how he created the name Slartibartfast... He started with ("the completely unsuitable for BBC Radio") Phartyfookballs & just played around with the syllables... Start with something truly obscene & unprintable (like say georgewbush) & just play around. Consuming vast amounts of alcohol, LSD & Peyote are most helpful... Errr,well thats what I've heard anyway...

3. ASCII : ASCII is your friend - why have a name when you can have a suggestive image (.)(.) that can even get excited (o)(o)... The only side effect of ASCII use is a tendancy to start posting in -=wAR3z=- 133t SP33K...

Enjoy & remember that by using these techniques you automatically waver any rights to compensation due to damage caused to your social life, english skills or the space/time continuum...
