    Depends on how slutty you are.

    Can I be a non-Hyphenated member?

    It is a high possibility, although consultation with the Half-Blood Prince would be needed.

    What will you offer us for payment?

    Free tickets to the topless Vegas show of your choice.

    IS IT ENOUGH?

    I will allow it only because you could have placed hyphens in those spaces in your name.

    Members with one word names do not get to join, yes?

    No, everyone should get a chance at joining since we live in such a just, and fair place that treats everyone the same since everyone is special in their own way. And there are no insulsts, no bansticks, not even IRC banning!

    Too much Barney?

    Too much Ecstasy. Although the Barney thing would explain why you don't know who John McClane is.

    (looks around shiftily) I should also point out that there are people with underscores in their names around here. As is those who defy the power of hyphens.

    Death to the unbelievers?

    Oi! I have an Underscore in my name. I apparently didn't need it, but all the same!

    Would you really try to destroy me on such a...minor issue!?

    I needed some form of separation; thinking that spaces were out, I went with the next best thing; underscores. Hyphens are more for connecting words than breaking them apart, after all.

    Would you deny such an obvious truth?

    Yes! Hyphens do not just 'connect words together'! They give the words life!!! Demon_Vigilante? HAH! It should have been Demon-Vigilante or Demonic-Vigilante or Vigilante-of-Demons! The hyphen gives the words meaning! The underscore gives the words nothing! MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!

    *cough* umm.... Amirite?

    No, definitely not. I wanted the words to be separated, not connected! Demon Vigilante > Demon_Vigilante > Demon-Vigilante > Everything else. Vigilante-of-Demons isn't bad, though...

    @Big D: I rather like living; sorry.

    Would it be a bad idea to see if I could have that Underscore replaced by a Space?

    If I felt like it.

    Hey little girl with the cash to burn!
    Well I'm selling something you won't return.
    Hey little girl take me off the shelf,
    and shake those tits in my direction.
    Won't you tend to my erection?

    Sorry death, but I believe you have a hand. You can tend to your own erection without going Kinsfire on us and using little girls.

    And explain to me why there wasn't a single hyphen used in that post, will you?

    I refuse to have anything to do with your erection... ev-ah. (hyphen love)

    Did you know that it's really spelled house-elves, not house elves?

    No.

    No matter though, no hyphens or underscores here.

    Why not?

    Because you fail!

    Do you fear the coming of the Lord of Hyphens... The-Hyphenated-One?
