If there's anything more emasculating than picking a pseudonym that sounds like it could be a cookie company's name (from Scotland), let us know! We'd love to hear your take. Some other things that may or may not be related to creme filling: another classic Billy betrayal, boring flows, and wild bass noises.

Please, stop picking on the goblins. Their jobs are very hard and it's really insulting when you just refer to them as the "g-word". Some other words you should consider before using in public: the next indie hit, weird weird weird indie rock (she moves with a porpoise), and a unanimous (kind of) album of the week.

We're kicking Billy off the island, so all of his stuff has to go. Name a price or don't -- we don't care, he's just got to go. Some other things you could take off our hands: a flaming hot cheeto return, Jonas Brothers fanboyisms, and death-metal-ified acoustic emo.

If the Moon is made of cheese, does that mean it has weather? Are there mozzarella tornadoes abound? Or even pepper jack typhoons? Some other weather-like phenomena you should consider: why the Brits are always yelling, how you too can channel your inner Billy, and terrible vitamin-based rap lyrics.
