Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

Ars has been around since the mid 1990s. Granted the sale to Conde Nast changed them slowly over time, as well as broadening the focus significantly, but it was likely a case of grow or die since the PC nerd market isn’t anywhere near what it used to be.

Just make sure you have your consent.
Glad I’m not the one having to deal with your insatiable needs - especially now.
Oh, so that’s the reason you & Dad are always fighting!

Five times in a week? Bruce has got to be screwing with them.
Sucks to be you, then - I got my rocks off, & that’s all I care about (as is The American Way).
Nah - put the whole thing in, not just the tip.
I’ll settle for “lick and suck upon” since mine don’t regenerate.
Then get sick all over again when you find out the hard way you forgot to rinse out the bucket.
SHIT! Somebody finally found it! Man, I hope I didn’t have anything on there with my personal info!
True, although in many of the comics I read in my youth (mostly 1980s) Kurt was depicted as a very dark blue to the point that they made significant amounts of him look black.
That’s Nightcrawler from the X-Men. Be kind to Kurt - his childhood was a real circus!
Which “them” are you talking about? It sounds like you mean the bootleg sellers, which implies you support Amazon. Mind you, I have no problem supporting the creative types making the content - it’s the absurdly large corporations milking customers for all they can that I have difficulty wanting to support.
