Sage?

Fairygdmther · 06-11-2006, 06:14 AM

So Thrift Store Scott is gone? And ~~Steve Reno~~ is now Sage? Just trying to keep up here...

Is Sage as in "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme..." ?

Or Sage, as in sagebrush in the western desert?

Or perhaps Sage, as in our own Oracle of Delphi, the Sage of AG ?

Or were we feeling a bit green about the gills? Sage green?

Maybe he's just got old enough to enrol as a member of Sage.

(it's amazing what you can find on google)

simpson_yellow · 06-11-2006, 07:03 AM

Sagebrush it would seem.

kuze · 06-11-2006, 08:47 AM

Maybe 'sage' as in 'opposite of bump'?

Karmillo · 06-11-2006, 09:13 AM

Oh so thats what that sage means

UPtimist · 06-11-2006, 09:23 AM

Or, maybe it's German?

(Edit): I know, I'll change my name to General Consesus!

then I'll also change my avatar and my country and all the personal details.

But now I revealed it! D'oh! I can't do it now.

And, that's a stupid inside joke. Nevermind. I just had to say it.

I thought he'd just grabbed a handful of onions and climbed up a turkeys arse

Gonna miss Scotty, but good new name matey. Glad you kept your old avatar pic too or I'd be really confused!

Thanks Seebs! Please feel free to continue calling me Scott, Scottsie, Thrifty, or anything else you like.

I thought of just re-joining under a new name, but I figured that would cause a lot more confusion than simply changing the username on my existing account has.
Also, if I had done that, the little devil that sits on my left shoulder would have talked me into not revealing who I really was as a prank just to see if anyone caught on.

Can we burn you to ward off evil spirits?

Um, I'd rather you didn't if it's all the same to you. Besides, setting wards by lighting a white candle at each of the four quadrants is a much more effective way of keeping evil spirits at bay.
Then again, a case could be made that I'm one of the evil spirits you're trying to ward off.

pinkgothic · 06-11-2006, 10:34 AM

Hm.

You may be wise, but you've never been sage, Scottsie - so, even though this name stems from a different meaning than the one I am arguing about, I think the name doesn't suit you at all. Sage implies a peaceful, friendly wisdom.

You've got naughty wisdom.

I love you pinkgothic!

pinkgothic · 06-11-2006, 10:51 AM

I see you practise what you preach.

*points to sig*

Still not sage, though.

Karmillo · 06-11-2006, 10:58 AM

Nothing says a sage has to have a friendly wisdom, any experience and wisom is all they need!

pinkgothic · 06-11-2006, 11:23 AM

Of course. But who doesn't picture a Zen master when they hear 'sage'?

And that... and Scott... ew, no!

Nothing against Zen masters, but it just doesn't fit!

I'll be good and shut up now, though.

Sage · 06-11-2006, 11:33 AM

Snatch the pebble from my hand, Grasshopper.

Lucien21 · 06-11-2006, 11:38 AM

He's know for his attraction to Brits
His Beard and his sparkling dry wits
He spent two weeks in Reno
Trying his luck in the casino
It was hard to get it "all in", he admits

******************

There once was a man name thrifty
Who likes to use the smilie shifty
He altered his name
which was really a shame
because Thift Store was kinda nifty.

Sage · 06-11-2006, 11:48 AM

Those are great, Lucien! I'm honored!

Y'all are just not gonna rest until I hyperventilate from laughing so hard, are you?

Actually, when I hear the word "sage", I think of the engine used in some Command & Conquer games. But that's probably just me.

And then there's this. You thought we wouldn't see right through you, eh Scott?
