Be generous & call it flattery.
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.

Saved you a click.
For a variety of reasons, I wish people would at least give a clue what these posts are about.

We’re all just specs of sand on the galactic beach that won’t be noticed when we’re gone and our bodies are just food for the dandelions.
“Esquire” is an unusual last name, never mind two middle names.
(You should put a comma before “Esquire” if that’s not the last name.)

9·20 hours agoAs in “sweeping it under the rug?” My bet is it’s just the usual election show, and it’ll conveniently drag on into November. Once the election is over, so is this. The timing is just too suspicious considering this didn’t happen for the Ukraine & Gaza wars he’s also complaining about.
EDIT: And there it is at the very end of the article:
Kushner is unlikely to cooperate with the request, and Raskin lacks authority to issue a subpoena without Republican support.
Nonetheless, the inquiry signals the types of investigations Democrats could pursue if they regain control of the House.
Well, they’ve got that Strawberry Shortcake just waiting to be destroyed - all you’ve gotta do is join the “destructive” protest.
There goes that heroic duo again!
Especially with the color choice. To me blue indicates it’s the cool thing to do, while red equates to “stop, don’t do this.” Yet the “only” thing you’re supposed to do (whichever one one it actually is) is printed in the red background. WTF were they thinking?

OTOH, it’s a pair of boobs - anyone getting sanctimonious about something that there are billions of pics of out there is just a manipulative bullying asshole.
