If you know any pregnant women, I would like it if you could convince them to name their baby "besson3c".

That would be great! Thanks...

No, but I think I could convince one or two to allow the infants to sleep in a bessonet.

OK, she wants me to ask you if it would be OK if she named her child "besson5c" - something about the pitch or mouthpiece or something. Not real clear about what she meant.

She feels that her baby needs to be named after a smaller cup, but common Spliffbutt, do you really think you'll be happy knowing that the baby was named after a smaller cup knowing that she could have gone for the bigger one?

Think about this, and all of the kids at school that might be laughing when there are other kids walking around named "besson3c" or "besson1c". I think this kid needs the competitive edge here, but I think if you were to call it "besson1c", people would think that it is just a prick trying to come across all bad ass or something. Plus, all the kids at school might laugh at that name.

I tried to convince a relative of mine to name her son besson3c, but she went with Hitler instead. She was worred Besson3c would turn into "BesónTrece", then "Besando el trasero", the kid would get picked on daily.... Gotta make sure the name stands up to bullies and creative minds.

I tried my best, but she insists on naming the child "Besson92BA".

Good thing I was there to help - at first she was going to use the name "Bach5c". Can you imagine how humiliating it would be for the kid when he went to school!

If it were my child I'd name it "H.N.White King Super 20" as a tribute to Dizzy Gillespie.

Either there is some sort of inside joke going on... or this is an incredibly inane post.

What would make a pretty darn good Christmas become the best Christmas forever and all eternity would be if you could post some pictures of these babies with t-shirts or signs or name tags saying "Hello, I'm a baby and my name is Besson34DD".

I suppose I can live with the Besson3c variants, as long as there is some reference to me in there somewhere, that's the important part, to glorify me.

Instead of calling something 'lame' because you don't understand it - why not take the time to educate yourself, instead?

You're gonna go through life being stupid while surrounded by 'lame' stuff.

Yeah Blasphemy, you need to listen to this.. And stop with all of the threads about Pokeman and Richard Simmons, so long as you want to flame me and call me names for no reason in front of my guards!

Guards in forums are for tools. And like I said, I've started no threads.

You're a tool, and it was you that started those threads... you can't prove anything.

Stop being so lame, and chill out and start thinking about naming babies after me. Life is too short to do anything but.

Someone a little while ago mentioned establishing a postcount requirement before letting people post in the lounge... that's starting to sound pretty good.

By all means. Just make it retroactive. Erase everyone's lounge and pol/war posts. I bet many of you don't like that idea.

The point is most people when they first arrive don't know who people are around here, what they're life, and what they tend to post. Without knowing those things, posts read differently.
The Whole Richard Simmons/Pokemon thing isn't serious, but you're replying to it like it is. In the other forums, this isn't a problem because topics are defined and content that's irrelevant is locked. The lounge is a bit different, and new posters don't always get that. If this is a politcal topic and you were expressing an opinion, cool, but you just called Besson3c lame because he wanted to be a little silly. Something you would have likely not done if you had been here longer. Yes, I don't know you or why you choose to respond to threads, but most folks post on threads that they have something to offer, or they ignore it and wait for it to die.

You have no idea how long I've been around the Lounge. I'm certainly not new. And sharp commentary on posts or threads is the norm around here.

Which is why you remain the only person to post a negative comment on this thread...

edit: allright... 2 people.

Why he is spending so much time in a lame thread is a little beyond me, but...


Anyway, all of this talk about this thread allegedly being lame is derailing this thread. If you want to debate whether or not this thread is lame, I think you should create a new thread devoted to this subject. A good title might be "Besson3c wanting babies named after him - lame?"

Congratulations on being pregnant andi*pandi? What's with the star in your name? Is it sort of like Wal*Mart?


Anyway, I'll accept Besoin I guess, as long as you keep in mind that the point of having this baby is to glorify me. Starting a family and perpetuating the species and all that other stuff needs to be a distant second. This is your duty as an inhabitant of this Universe, any of the Gods will tell you this.

I'm not pregnant, but I produce several hundred million sperm per day, so how about I just name them all besson3c and I'll let you know what happens?

You got yourself a deal! It's too bad that Andi*pandi is already pregnant, or else I could hooked you up with her.
