I'm not sure "Pigeon Turdist" conveys my position as well as "atheist". But it certainly conveys the level of importance I attach to deciding the claims made by theists rather well.
It has been a while since we've been graced by your efforts to set us straight. What brings you here today?
Well I was hoping to grant atheists a bit more epistemological grandure than that of a pigeon turd...but they seem to not want it. Boredom has brought me back my friend, it is great to interact with you once again, I hope that you are well.
