But you know, I'm sooo Old EuroFuckyLand, so I'd have preferred "Sycophant".

OTOH, that latter word is much more in tune with feeverte.net's style, so if Kallisti's other personality is reading this...

I think sycophant is better too. And more appropriate.

Aren't they more or less synonymous?

I'm genuinely interested.

I'm also genuinely interested in which influential persons I'm supposed to have flattered over here (or who I'm supposed to have denounced): I try my very best to be as irreverent as possible (unless when using the emoticon, that is).

Meaning in no way to burst your bubble, 'Hanger-on' is one of the stock titles that come with the board, ala 'FNG' 'Regular' etc. You get a new one of these titles every time your post count kicks up a notch, which must have just happened to you. You don't get these titles if one of admins (usually Hizzonr) have seen fit to bestow some kind of individual title on you.

So no prostration is necessary yet.

They're different. a hanger-on is someone that sort of trails around in the back of a gang of people, usually not saying much (for fear of being noticed), and in generla, just kinda being there.

A sycophant is the same thing as above, but with a 'little bitch' element. They are the 'yes-mans'. Think Elvis' 'Memphis Mafia'. They serve no purpose, tell Elvis how cool he is all day long, but really, they are just sucking Elvis dry, spenind his money, and being cool vicariously through him.

That's a sycophant.

Oh. Kato Kalin was another good sycophant.

Getting a decent picture?

I thought that was a crazy elephant.

I get the picture.

Sniff -- that's almost "Mostly Harmless" :(.

Well, Baabaadoc since burst my bubble, but Lars, thanks for the compliment (i.e. saying that sycophant was more appropriate - at least that's not Mostly Harmless).

Damnit! Now I have to pull out my old Hitchhikers and read the whole damn thing again!

God, I love that book.

well, i finally got my personalized title.

although pretty dead-on, i was hoping for something sexier.

HA! there, knucklehead!

How about bald knucklehead? Women love bald guys

telly savalas was a player.

And he shilled for Player's Club
International.

zactly.

And I finally got my own title, too. But, as the saying goes, Ya fook one goat. What do ya make me out to be, a sheep fucker? That's just sick man! I mean, they're cute innocent sheep! There's no fun in that! But, ya fook one goat....

Hee, hee hee! Louchie is ON FIRE TONIGHT!

Shit's swangin' from one end of the forum to the other all at once! AWESOME!!!!

And now I've started drinkin'.
Anyone want anything else done?

Well, the blue color of this place is starting to depress me.

Can we add some curtains and maybe a few decorative knick-knacks?

<------------------Now THAT'S a great tagline.


Much-Ass Grassy-Ass, Mayor!

I think some of us might beg to differ.

'Mutton-masher', hehe.

Brings a whole new meaning to "pulling the wool over your eyes."

DG

I was gonna say something like 'No, it's usually more pushing than pulling,' but I decided that that lacked taste, and out of respect for all of you and your delicate sensitivity, I'm not going to.

and THAT, Doc, is why we love you.

He's no Porkio though.

Admin at this place is excellent. Kudos.
