Public request to Theymos for a name change

[JollyGood]

Talk about an ultimatum  

I need to see if this request will be ignored in the same way the merit increase request was ignored or if the name really will be changed. I still suggest asking Cyrus as per what TheBeardedBaby stated.

Lawd have mercy!!  Theymos, you better do what this man say!!  I needs to get back to mah hole an' my nuts!!

[Distressed chipmunk]

Challenge accepted.

*squeak*

I'd be betta off callin' Dr. Dre.  M'man with the gun up there, shoot this muthafucka instead!!

Edit:  Clock's ticking, Theymos.  Mr. Sissypants over in the corner is going to be next, and come sunrise this forum might have lost a few very good members.  And a chipmunk who says it has a wife and kids, dreams and aspirations, and is begging me not to do it.  I'm crazy man, so let's not play around here.

Lawd have mercy!!  Theymos, you better do what this man say!!  I needs to get back to mah hole an' my nuts!!

The sun is now up and TP is looking haggard, still aiming his six-shooter with a crazed determination; I don't think he's messing around...

[Rockstarguy]

Why man? we are used to this one, if you change the name, it will take time to get used to it. however, we love you anyway.
Give this man his change of user name please.

Honestly the name The pharmacist can't go off my mind. When I was new  to the forum The pharmacist was one of the name that drew my attention , I think this is  because I love pharmacy as a profession, so whenever I see the name the pharmacist it give old memories of becoming a pharmacist which I ended up becoming a lab scientist. 😢.

But I still wish your request for your new username will be accepted ASAP..

Its almost a year already and nothing heard from Theymos, and Just as i said in my comment in a different thread, reason why Theymos is not paying attention to your request to change your current username might be because he loves the name too (just as I do ) and don't want you to loss it.
Choosing the username "The Pharmacist" is something out of the box, its a kind of username that a user comes across once and it sticks in the mind of that user never to be forgotten.
Personally, I most times have issues remembering the username of majority of users on this forum, but I've never had any issue remembering "The Pharmacist" , it is in my personal believe, or rather, opinion that this current username of yours @TP, contributed to your popularity on this forum , though you might not know this, which is quite understandable.

But i guess its a case of "one man's food is another man's poison" which in any case, if you are head-bent on changing your current username, i also with humility join other users to implore Theymos to please grant your request.

Awww...thank you.  I also have a fondness for it, though I never could stand working in retail drug stores.  Many people think that's the only place pharmacists work, but there are nursing homes, the prison system, home care, and all sorts of areas where pharmacists can practice.  Nuclear pharmacy is another niche area.

Christ, don't make me waver in my decision to shoot this goddamn chipmunk.  This mo fo is staring down the barrel of a cannon and the silence is deafening.

I seriously doubt that, but thanks for your kind words.  And please do pray for this animal in my grasp.

Who is invited to the party? Furthermore, who will bring the cake and snacks as well as arrange entertainment? We cannot expect The Pharmacist to stand on the stand on the stage lapping up the applause while trying to entertain us for the whole event.

The reputables....
Jay Juan Gee would arrange for a cocktail, I mean - he's a good dude don't you think so? Then errrrr..... I'mma select out some good bakers as an incumbent manager but, that'll look even more like a TRAVESTY if "the kid is restrained from his toys" (ironical).
That dude loves pizza like - crazily. There's this bond between CHYMIST and red-pie tomatoe sauce, snacks, groceries and most importantly, PIZZA. I wouldn't be surprised as he'll decide to take up the role of sharing whatever is offered in his own namin' ceremony _{Jesus Christ 😂} then he'll have some space behind the crib, to maneuver with those sweet, tasty cakes and Munch 'em together with some ice-froozen content, in a fancied plate; YOGHURT?? maybe yeah but that's not just gonna be the kind that GLOVES wished to have, mixed in Birdshit -- sounds like bedsheet right?! lol....

You seem full of energy, can I nominate you for the position of Party Manager because I think you will probably be a perfect fit for the role  

SERIOUSLY?? Oh gosh!! That, ofcourse would be great. Only I'll have to learn up some additional cooking skills, like making continental dishes then, it'll be fun 😊
But please, let the man have his will granted...

Oh, Jesus. I didn't wish to have frozen yogurt like that, I wished it on Little Mouse for baiting me into getting all excited about a fresh episode of BitcoinTalkShow and then sending me instead to exactly the kind of music video that makes me want to end it all.

If I attend TP's renaming shindig, I'll bring factory-sealed Nintendo® Power Glove's for everyone, a nice bottle of merlot, an extensive collection of half-eaten premium salamis and two pounds of top-shelf cannabis (it's unlikely we'll get through ~900 joints, but you can each take some home with you, afterwards). We should keep a list of who's bringing what...

Put me down for a piñata full of bees. And I'll ask Foxpup if we can borrow a gimp for the day.

That's some serious troll level! For a moment, I thought the chipmunk argument made the name change happen.

Now that "The Sceptical Chymist" is taken, OP's username will never be changed

[JollyGood]

Oh no, what will The Pharmacist do now?

Huge Black Woman is that you 

[PowerGlove]

Huge Black Woman is that you 

I don't really have any "enemies" on the forum yet, but whoever made that account can consider themselves to be the first one. I'm too angry right now to insult you without writing something I'll likely regret, so I'll leave that for another time (I'm guessing there'll be many).

Considering the reference to "Huge Black Woman", I'm guessing it was the same mental defective that raised that issue back on page 2 (post #31). Whoever it is seems to think that an old, politically-incorrect, but obviously (to me anyway) comedic and good-natured alt account is something that should count against TP (it's not, and I think you'd have to be a little slow to conclude otherwise).

I think I need some time away from the forum, the way this name change request was handled has got me pretty disheartened and this sour note at the end is the kicker. Before I take a week or so off to play games and eat chips, I'll repeat what I said at the bottom of page 2:

I think TP should get his name change (or at least a definitive decision about it). Here's my thinking:

If someone is putting in the time (i.e. taking their merit source duties seriously, making years worth of quality posts, etc.) then it sends kind of a shitty/hurtful message to just flat-out ignore their request for a name change, no?

I can appreciate that theymos might have strict criteria and a preference to only award name changes when there's an obviously worthwhile and/or necessary reason to do so, but I also think a little spontaneous leniency every once in a while is a fine thing, too!

If TP could borrow Foxpup's time machine and donate ~$230 [1] [2] for the ability to change his own display name, I'm sure he would. So, can't we just pretend that he did that, or consider his contributions to the forum to dwarf that paltry sum, anyway?

Bitcointalk is overflowing with mindless garbage, and a vanishingly small set of members are responsible for making the good stuff; TP is one of them, and I'm sure many others feel the same way, so can't a random act of kindness [3] be justified in this case?

I'm too angry right now
~
I think I need some time away from the forum

If someone anonymous on the internet has the power to make you angry, you're doing something wrong and some time away is probably a good idea.

Slightly out of context, this applies:

If someone on the internet is mean to you: boo fucking hoo! Use the Ignore button, and forget about them.

Awww...thank you.  I also have a fondness for it, though I never could stand working in retail drug stores.  Many people think that's the only place pharmacists work, but there are nursing homes, the prison system, home care, and all sorts of areas where pharmacists can practice.  Nuclear pharmacy is another niche area.

Nuclear pharmacy also known as Radiopharmarcy. This area of pharmacy is not common in the world,  we only have few Nuclear pharmacists. I believe this area of pharmacy is vulgar in the US.

Christ, don't make me waver in my decision to shoot this goddamn chipmunk.

Lol.  It is a decision you don't need to have different feelings about it. Just do what makes you feel happy.

[Foxpup]

And I'll ask Foxpup if we can borrow a gimp for the day.

You didn't need to do that. You all know I would have offered myself without being asked.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

*BANG*

I told you motherfuckers I was crazy!  And now it's never going to happen--what's there to live for?

[Distressed chipmunk]

*squeak*

[o_e_l_e_o]

You didn't need to do that. You all know I would have offered myself without being asked.

Oh, I had already assumed you wouldn't be missing out on this party! I was hoping to borrow a reserve gimp. You know, after what happened last time.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I don't really have any "enemies" on the forum yet, but whoever made that account can consider themselves to be the first one. I'm too angry right now to insult you without writing something I'll likely regret, so I'll leave that for another time (I'm guessing there'll be many).

My man, don't let that bug you to the point that it seems to be bugging you.  In fact, put it right out of your mind and let's never think of it again, eh?  I'd already accepted Theymos's silence as a refusal, so this is kind of all just fun and games.

Except for this damn chipmunk.  Anyone got a garbage bag?  And o_e_l_e_o, you can attempt emergency micro-neurosurgery if you want, but I don't think any mammal has survived a decapitation before.  Definitely not at a Foxpup shindig.

Edit:

How much you wanna bet it was Theymos who registered that account just to get me to shut up about the name change? 
Also: No chipmunks were harmed in the making of this farce of a thread--and to my fellow Cycling Club members, I expect you to back me up on that.

Not exactly my area of expertise, but I'll give it a go. I mean, how hard can brain surgery be? It's not rocket science!

Shhh.
