| No. We've already lost Calvin and Hobbes, don't vanish his alter ego as well, mr spaceman sir. |

Well I,m not really sure as I have never understood why you sometimes call yourself Grog and seem to act like a cave dwelling person ?
Perhaps a little background information may help with my descision. |

But then when are you you?
You need special dispensation to set up an alt account. |

It's just a Schtick. I left a humorous comment on a challenge entry of a cave and the alter ego just acquired a life of his own. The Grog comments seemed to be appreciated, so I've kept it as something special I do mostly in freestudies. I don't force myself to leave a ton of the Grog comments, as I don't want to burn myself out on it.(Like another member did a few years ago, with humorous comments on every single FS entry. It was great, but hard to maintain such momentum.) So I just leave a fee Grog comments when an image inspires me to idiocy. When we did the "DPC User Portait" challenge, my wife suggested she should enter a photo of me as Grog. We bought a caveman costume and I publicly humiliated myself on the shore of lake Grapevine for my first of a number of cameo appearance by Grog.
That's about it.

Is he the spokescaveman for Geico that I used to see on TV? |

| Change your name again? No. You'd then be a yo-yo, Yo. |

If you become Grog will we get a spiffy comment from time to time, or will Yo_Spiff completely disappear? It's an important consideration for us to take into account before we can advise you one way or another :)

One of my all time favorite comments came from Yo_Spiff...so I would have to agree with John here.
I'm leaning towards the "no" side of the fence. |

Sounds like Grog will remain an occasional visitor. Thanks.

I would say no, just keep treating us to guest appearances of Grog when the occasion calls for him.

| Everyone already knows you're spiffy -- groggy just doesn't work! |
