I have changed my user name from Yard Ape. I really did not mena any offense by that, it was something that a friend of mine's dad used to call us when we were kids, and I know for a fact that he meant nothing racial by it.

When I saw a post from ((Type)), I realized that the name did in fact carry offensive overtones and I sincerely apologize to anyone who found it offensive.

Thanks to ((Type)) for pointing it out.

There was really no need to apologize or change your name. You can't please everyone all of the time and there's always gonna be someone who finds something offensive. Like you, I didn't even notice the racial issue and it's sad that someone had to make it one.

The racial connotations totally went over (or under) my head.

I find "Jimmy Stripe" to be much more racist.

Would it be wrong to start using "yard ape" as an all-purpose insult?

When the Obner schism happens and half the board moves on and starts their own board they will almost certainly be called www.yardapes.org.

If it wasn't racial, you shouldn't have changed it. No appology necessary.

There's a guy in my town who's a nice 60-year old fellah named Sam. Owns Sam's Market. Has a big sign out front says "Home Of The Sambo."
Which is his signature sandwich. Appears to have never heard why the Sambo chain lost its name and apparently no one's ever told him.

How about starting off with a foot poll? We can then move on to more ass-like parts of the body, like the ass.

There's a mountain bike ride we do every now & then, with a tree at the top of a hill, where apparently, everyone rides around when they get to it. So, there's a big ring of dirt around the tree where no grass grows. Every time I see it, I think of Sambo chasing the tiger around the tree until the tiger melts into a pool of butter.
