A reference that would strike me as likely to be hilariously obscure. Like Za--no, wait, I did that once.
Dagnabbit. Ummm.

. . . Well, I do think I would do my best to find something neutral yet distinctive again. "NAHTMMM" has worked amazingly well in that regard (accidentally, as it were) and I appreciate the freedom of not being tied down to something like "Pizza" or "DS9Rocks" or "Irritating_Posting_Style".
No me-referential acronyms allowed? Bah. I dunno, I'm stuck. All that comes to mind is "Rodov", but that would carry too much baggage for me. No, no, wait, I've been inspired.
Let's see . . . "Frogs in the Tide" is the only one that really works. A bit long, but it would have to do.

2. I can sort of understand the evolution of black licorice, but why make something the exact same shape, only strawberry-flavored? Not that I'm complaining, I love red vines and gag on the black ones, I'm just saying that while the evolution of black licorice is understandable, the evolution of red ones is less so.

Easy: everybody loves strawberry!
If we can have cherry colas and fifty varieties of candy cane, why not strawberry licorice?
