Hope this timely initiative doesn't result in a 'TOS 3(a) You will

Nothing said about talking about it, just that you can't have multiple accounts.
Perhaps a note to admins may even allow you your squiggley tail. 😉
A cape, smoke, aerodynamic tail, caterpillars?? Well, there are a few other choices:
The tilde ( ˜ or ~) is a grapheme with several uses.
1. The tilde is colloquially known as a 'squiggly' by people who do not know its name.
2. It is used in dictionaries to indicate the omission of the entry word.
3. In written mathematical logic, it represents negation (e.g. “~p” equals “not p”, where "p" is a proposition). [Not Grampy Bobby??]
4. In mathematics, the tilde operator (Unicode U+223C), sometimes referred to as a “twiddle”, is often used to denote an equivalence relation between two objects. Thus “x ~ y” means “x is equivalent to y”. (Note that this is usually quite different from stating that x equals y.)
5. It can be used to denote the asymptotical equality of two functions. For example, f(x) ~ g(x), means that limx→∞ f(x)/g(x) = 1.
6. Additionally, in statistics and probability theory, ~ means “is distributed as”.
7. In English it is sometimes used to represent approximation, for example ~10 would mean “approximately 10” A tilde is also used to indicate “approximately equal to” (e.g. 1.902 ~= 2).
8. Economists sometimes use the tilde to represent indifference between two or more bundles of goods.
9. It can approximate the sine wave symbol (∿, U+223F), which is used in electronics to indicate alternating current.
10. In Unix shells, the tilde indicates the current user's home directory Used in URLs on the World Wide Web, it often denotes a personal website on a Unix-based server. In the D programming language, the tilde is used as an array concatenation operator, as well as to indicate an object destructor.
11. It is sometimes used in rogue-like games to represent water or snakes.
