Surly's Soap Box An end to surliness?

An end to surliness?

I have decided to cast off my surly ways. It is getting harder and harder to write bitter sarcasm and biting satire as I delve deeper into faith issues. It's harder to make the type of sociopolitical commentary usually found and the discuss faith issues.

It is time for a change. As I stated in an earlier post, I'm going through some spiritual adjustment, and I'm not sure "surly" is the adjective I want describing me any longer.

First off, I need a new handle. Surly Dave just isn't going to do any more. And "Warm and Fuzzy Dave" (As suggested by Uncle Ben) simply won't do.

So I'm opening it up for suggestions. Got any ideas?

Marjorie Stewart (Rev. Mother):

How about Curly Dave? You'd only have to change one letter and it kind refers to that handlebar mustache thing.

Thinking along the lines of just changing one letter, I was thinking "Burly Dave" but that won't work because at some point you'll probably be getting even more svelt. How about "Chef Dave" or "Papa Dave"?

How about adding a disclaimer: surly by nature, saved by grace

It would clearly illustrate a Christian's simulataneous saint/sinner nature while on this earth.

I'm going with TK. I've already added it to my sidebar.

I love it! I feel so powerful! (Thus illustrating my saint/sinner nature!) Yes, it's also very edgy and hip. Good choice.

The Mustache

Surly Dave

Sweeter Half

Surly by nature, Saved by grace

Clearly illustrating a Christian's simultaneous saint/sinner nature while on this earth.

The views and opinions expressed here are my views and opinions, and do not necessarily represent the views of any church or religious organization I belong to. This was added because I am part of the team of people (the Pulpit Team) who are committed to discerning and bringing God's word to our church, and someone was worried that others might think I'm speaking for the church. Well, I'm not.

Oh, and while I'm at it, I might as well toss in the 'Copy Write' and 'Creative License' stuff as well: MINE! Do not take with out giving proper credit and linkage.
