Do Wha Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Do

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

Do Wha Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Do

Post by Mike Boom »

http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,17162,00.html

The world has become a simpler place. P Diddy will be now known as just Diddy.

"I felt like the 'P' was getting between me and my fans and now we're closer," Diddy said.

"During concerts, half the crowd is saying 'P. Diddy'--half the crowd is chanting 'Diddy'--now everybody can just chant 'Diddy.' "


or alternatively I guess everyone could just chant "fuck off you cunt".
echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load

Soon to be shortened to Did, then D, then he'll just disappear up his own ass (if we're lucky).

Oh come on. I'll bet his 'P' wasn't that big.

What about when Prince changed his name to the squiggly thing? That was a good one too!

The whole pomposity of it all makes me laugh. I wouldn't say I care about it but it does amuse me.

I for one am glad to have this cleared up - it was a source of great stress for me, wondering 'P. Diddy or Diddy?' The transition from Puff Daddy to Puffy* was almost too much for my fragile psyche.




*I almost care if I got those names right.


p.s. "diddy" is how my Mississippi cousins pronounce "daddy".

I'm a swirling tangle of punctuation today.
Like me, the "g" is silent.

The trouble is, who's going to get the spare P? Maybe EC?

More from Diddy - it's just so deliciously egomaniacal and absurd...

"We had to move the P. We had to simplify it. Diddy is more personal. We are entering into the age of Diddy. It's a new era."

Diddy -- whose monikers have included Puff, Puff Daddy and Puffy, says Diddy is "a little bit more personal. I've let down my guard. I'm fully exposed. We are going to have a lot of fun with it. It is the return of hip-hop, rock 'n' roll superstars and they call them Diddy. I'm going to start talking in the third person everything."

How tickled I am missus.
So can we expect him to move to Knotty Ash nad finish every show with "Happiness" ?

We are the Diddy Men
Itty-bitty Diddy Men
We are the Diddy Men
Who come from Knotty Ash
With diddy hats
Diddy socks
Money in our diddy box
We march around the Circus
Singing 'Up the Diddy Workers!'
We hope it doesn't rain
And wash us down the Diddy Drain
We are the Diddy men
Who come from Knotty Ash.
