I noticed a few people on Reddit writing thermos, I guess they either misspelled his name or it was changed by auto correct. It started with one guy being auto-corrected in Reddit, then other people started calling him like that because it sounded funny  . |
The signature campaign posters adding useless redundant fluff to their posts to reach their minimum word count are lowering my IQ.

...and, of course I, being who I is, didn't want to miss a humor opportunity expanded upon the faux pas. Somewhat akin to how Rassah's coffee table meme got started. BTW, probably over a year or so ago I posted the following image on this forum.  "Shouldn't we be fixin' the forum instead of driving around town tryin' to pick up chicks using French phrases we learnt in class?" |

Oct 6 [20:51 PST] [theymos] There's a small fire on the electrical pole outside of my house. The fire dept. is looking at it now. It's possible that I might lose power for a while. If so, the forum's return will be delayed.

All I know is, I find the "thermos" pun hilarious. I can't see it going away now. So good to have the forum back though, so well done, Thermos!  |

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

The first day I was in Nashville back in '85, I picked up a woman named Mary that worked at Aladdin. She brought me to her home to spend the night. Three years later, I found myself in that same bedroom thinking to myself that I've been here before. I asked her where she worked and she replied, "Aladdin."

Lol, to me, thermos is a company that creates a variety of lunch containers. |

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive: Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers |

Was Theymos a typo and he just ran with it?  Yep. His username was originally going to be Thermos, but typos nowadays... |
