How about T'Bird?
On account of its impact on the forum layout, how about Her Squishiness?
The wife objects. That's HER nickname.

Nominated for most accurate.

Gonna go try the Greasemonkey thing now.

Edit: The script is awesome. For those like me who might not have ever done a script before, it might help to explain that they need to copy the code and paste it into notepad, then save it with your filename. I kept looking for a download link on that page until I realized what I should do.

Re: TrekBBS Contest: Name the Twitter Bird!

The Twitter bird and I have reconciled, so I'll suggest a new name.

Has anyone suggested Conrad Birdie from 'Bye Bye Birdie' yet? If not, that's my choice, since Conrad Birdie was a play on words of Conway Twitty (who was originally supposed to play the role on Broadway) and that's just a little bit of cleverness that no one is going to remember or care about but me.

Or we can just call the bird Conway Twitty and cut out the middleman.
