As per this post, I hereby ask the MacNN community:

Which do you prefer? Gorickey or manofsteal?

IBGR just sounds so much better than IBMOS.

(not that either of those phrases is a very common occurence)

ManOfSteal reminds me of Man Of Steel which reminds me of superman which reminds me of randman's sig.

So I voted for GoRickey

manofsteal blows. He's just a caricature that posts catch-phrases. Bring back Gorickey. Now that was a MacNN member with character.

GoRickey ... nothing beats a classic =) ...

MoS is cool too tho .. MoS is a lot more fun to type than GR or Gr or gR .. shrug ...

either way they both come up with neat sigs ... hmm ... it's a toss up .. and a moot point .. he should enjoy his retirement in florida .. the retirement state ... just watch out for the storms ... and the CHAD ...

Suck or such? And if you miss him so, then why did you spell his name wrong?

Every-time I "hear" gorickey I think of that Tony Basil song Oh Mickey.

I like his new one better.

"Manofsteal" has double meanings and is clever.

I think he should keep it.

I get the man of steal part, but not the second part. Sure you guys are confusing his sig with manofsteel?

I'm not really familiar with either one of them.

That's two meanings, not a double meaning. But thanks for playing.

Actually, everyone is wrong sometimes in their lives. It's called being human.

Being petty however isn't. That is just hateful.

Turn that frown upside down.

Wasn't being petty, just said I didn't get the double meaning, which in reality, there isn't. =
