Ok it’s a long story but I need a pseudonym. Which one of these is your fave?

Comedy story. @adrianbliss asked me to do a cover of ‘Home’ by Edward Sharpe for a video in 2015. My cover went viral on TikTok last week. Many asked me to release it on Spotify but don’t want covers on my Spotify so say hello to @EdithWhiskers my pseudonym. Song out tomorrow! pic.twitter.com/fLl8iwTyTG

Seems a fairly appropriate 2020 thing that a woman who doesn’t exist is currently 🥈 on the global viral charts on Spotify. pic.twitter.com/FofrE7oQIZ

I don't know what spotify is, but it doesn't look like I'd click on it in any case.
I have a twitter account but it won't let me post anything. Something's wrong with the account, perhaps failure to supply a mobile phone number.
Whiskers?
Reminds me of when Mildred "Babe" Didrikson (the greatest female athlete ever) was playing baseball with the bearded, barnstorming House of David team. A woman called out "Hey Babe, where's your whiskers?"
Babe: "I'm sittin' on 'em, honey, same as you."
Hardin, you don’t know what Spotify is, but are an expert in modern sex relations & gender motivations?
Dude, you might consider leaving the house once in a while. I think your 90s DVD collection might not be cutting it in the cultural and social education department.
but are an expert in modern sex relations & gender motivations?
I don't think sex relations and gender motivations have changed in 10,000 years. One of those things that is timeless.
But can the Edith Whiskers granny do real whiskey, real pot, real beer like this granny,

I'm more interested in denial of sex relations and motivations. Denial itself has a traditional gender component.
The most common thing is traditional stuff aimed at one man now being aimed anonymously at all men, e.g. nagging. Social nets help that along as a stable state but it's fairly dysfunctional.
iowan, Hardin constantly lets men off the hook for stupid politics because “they’re trying to get laid.” He said this in a thread yesterday and has said it many times before (as our repetitive friend is wont to do). My point to him is that it’s not 1967 and the women aren’t nice, timid Methodist girls that you have to coax into believing that you’re a nice sweet caring guy through your politics. I mean have you seen the human Barbie that Scott Adams got to marry him? Does Joe Rogan have trouble getting women? 80% of the population has HPV now. Everyone is sexually available. People have sex on the first date or on no date, just because. If Hardin hasn’t heard of Spotify he probably hasn’t heard of Tinder. No man has to be a leftist, pretend or otherwise, to get someone to help him orgasm.
Maybe leftist women won’t let you touch their boobs if you don’t bow vaguely toward the proper altar, but who wants to sleep with leftist women anyway? They’re generally some combination of shrill, dumb, and unattractive.
I believe just the other day somebody said I was hurting her feelings with all this. She talks about feelings when I talk about structure. That's pretty gendered.
If women are going to vote in a country that doesn't collapse from it, they're going to have to notice their dysfunctional inclinations in large system contexts and avoid voting them there. That's structure.
Feelings work better than structure in neighborhood-sized situations. So notice size.
Guys will do structure in either case. That's where nagging comes in.
So ignore the nagging, Hardin, or reward nagging that is productive, such as within a family. Stop excusing male response to public nagging.
Hey, I'm sensitive. I've been to many NOW meetings. With a date.
What aren't women telling women to stop voting their feelings? They'd be great role models.
Why is it always stamping of tiny foot in these discussions.
If you're famous, they let you grab them by the pussy. I'm not sure which that's an example of. I suppose it depends why you're famous. It's sort of a system-wide characterization though.
Uggh…another song with whistling. I fucking hate whistling. Whistling is for dwarfs and simpletons. Now it’s in dozens on TV ads for pharma, tech and financial services. Don’t worry, we got you covered, just buy this and you too and whistle your way through life like a moron.
Oh, that song. OK. Good for him.
My curiosity lead me to TikTok some months ago but I did no better than a good-looking woman at the beach doing a backflip off some guy's shoulders. Some sort of challenge, perhaps.
They did it in stages, in synch with music, I suspect, but I keep the sound off for things like that so who knows?
I assumed the guy was her boyfriend and they have great sex but I'm an incurable romantic so I could be wrong about that.
Never minded whistling. I always hated the harmonica; I never thought it improved the sound of anything, except maybe old Bob Dylan recordings.
Even blues bands and recordings. Sounded shrill and discordant to me.
That song doesn't make the cut for my playlist, psuedonoid or not.
I like this Noah Cyrus song with whistling. The ending leaves you wanting more, so you end up whistling the ear worm refrain.
July
Roger Whittaker could do some good whistling. I especially liked New World In The Morning
The original version of Help Me Ronda had a very noticable harmonica part which was dropped in the single version. (Along with adding an 'h').
Many asked me to release it on Spotify but don’t want covers on my Spotify so say hello to @EdithWhiskers my pseudonym.
Who doesn't want covers on his Spotify? Him or his followers? I assume him because followers "asked" him to release it on Spotify.
Yet, why no covers? Royalties?
How does a fake name avoid the issue if you reveal your true identity?
It's all fun and games with Edith Whiskers around here until he/she goes and does Bob Dylan
All that is wrong with the modern world of social media in a single AA post.
Only half paying attention, but this story-- as are most stories about songs/artists/clips going "viral"-- smells bad.

Ha! I knew it was Pants immediately.
Cut her some slack RH, she volunteered to be infected with covid, so brave,
I doubt there are any grannys named Edith that are still alive. That was a popular women's name two/three generations ahead of me. But soon to be recycled in newborns.
HE who must not be named...
Anon...and so on, and so on...
A song for Buffalo Bill's mix tape.
I can only click so much, and I never got to the meat of the re-postwitspotok, but I've really enjoyed all the commenter flirting.
All rhhardin has to do is whistle!
Narr
Some guys . . .

"Songs to Tuck Your Junk Between Your Legs"?
So, have the feminists blown up Twitter yet attacking him for "sexual appropriation", or whatever the current term is?
More proof that, while I wasn't looking, the world passed me by and turned me into a Person from the Past.
And it happened so quickly. As if I was just bending down looking for the right Phillips head screwdriver in my toolbox, and got sidetracked looking over a circa 1940s wire cutter left over from my Dad. When I stood back up, 30 years had passed and people were gushing on something called TikTok about a song by Edith Whiskers downloaded on Spotify and 'Liked' (whatever that is) multiple times on this thing called Twitter.
Once upon a time, not long ago at all, there was no Spotify. No Twitter. No TikTok, no Edith Whiskers. No computers for every person. And no mobile phones that did not require a brick in a bag to carry it and did not include a camera or the ability to play videos- whatever they are. I was just bent over looking for a Phillips head and came up with a new world. The circa 1940's wire cutter from my Dad grew brighter in the box at my feet, almost glowing, as if it was mocking me.
Funny
Is Jim Sampson a pseudonym? Let us know if it is and it works out better for you.
