Drumstick undergoes identity crisis, meet . . . Pancho

Well, the good news is that internet identity crises don't need to involve any form of surgery. And that the pointed and rather angular pseudonym of Pancho's past can finally be set aside. I was never a fan of his previous alter ego -- it made me feel like all my protestations of affection could be read as battered wife syndrome. The new, cool, 'that's so ethnic' identity connotes all the feel-good cuddliness that Pancho excels in. Although he doesn't guarantee that this new name will stick for good, Pancho thinks that I shouldn't go back and erase the record of Drumstick's (largely putative) existence, so Drumstick will remain as a spectre of the past haunting these pages. Hopefully, he will not become a revenant or start wildly murmuring about poison in his ear...
