Where did your user name come from??

[griffer]

Gosh! After hearing all the stories that go along with your user names, mine sounds so boring!!

Nonsense, Madison Paige is very pretty.

I see you on a pony.

In proper habit.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

<<< One of Graham Greene's most complex and elusive characters. Always a favourite of mine.

[J. M. Stovall]

Um..it's my name. No need for a secret identity here.

 

[spiridon]

Mine comes from the name of the running/racing team that I created and coach. A post grad team, we travel around to races and compete. The name itself (Spiridon) was inspired by the winner of the first "modern" Olympic games marathon......Spiridon Louis.

 

[canucklehead]

Ah-well-a-well-a-well-a....

Just a portmanteau of "canuck" and "knucklehead".

The former is because sometimes I like to go oot furra few beer an' some bacon, eh? Oh - I also wrestle bull moose for fun, just got my dogsled license, I bleed maple syrup and, last, but not least, my national animal provides fur for some of the finest felt hats out there.

The second ... well ... because I have a habit of acting before thinking and that usually leaves me embarrassed at one level or another.

Not too much to it, really... I suppose it also shows my liking for playing around with words.

[RedPop4]

First off, I have red hair.
One of my Daddy's (sorry, even with me being 40, he'll always be my Daddy) good friends called and still calls me RedPop, every time he sees me. My Daddy was a third (III) and I'm a fourth (IV) so instead of RedPopIV, I use the Arabic 4, instead.

And you only pay income tax if you own more than one igloo! (As told to me by a Canadian I met in London once years ago!)

[Archie Goodwin]

If you are looking for period jargon

check out the Nero Wolfe mystery series by Rex Stout. The tales are narrated by Nero's right-hand man Archie Goodwin. There is some of the grit of Chandler in them, but with more humor, and excellent food.

 

[Miss Crisplock]

Miss Crisplock is a character in Terry Pratchett's "Going Postal".

 

[Solid Citizen]

The Handle

"What this nation needs are more SOLID CITIZENS"

[Tony in Tarzana]

First and middle name. I did it because I wish "Glen" was my last name. My given last name "Dumbrille" has been tough to wear over the years.

dean

I first read yours as De Anglen, which I surmised had something to do with angels or anglers. lol

I'm Tony, and I live in Tarzana, former home of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

 

[BegintheBeguine]

I know but too well what they mean

Since it took 3 tries for me to get signed on to the Lounge (but worth the wait, thanks again to MK) this user name was my 3rd pick but I think my favorite. It is my all-time favorite popular song. Perry Como does a nice version of Begin the Beguine as well as Michael Nesmith, of all people.

 

[Doh!]

I'm Tony, and I live in Tarzana, former home of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

When I first heard that, I thought it was the BEST origin for a town's name ever!

Still is.

Still is.

Drop by the Tarzana Post Office, there's a bunch of Burroughs memorabilia on display for folks waiting in line.

 

[Miss Sis]

Next you'll be claiming you don't eat Pizzas there either! lol

No, it's true we don't! The aim of The Domino Club is for it's members to go out and look stylish, whereever we may be.

Usually that is at a dance or a bar such as The American Bar at the Savoy in London.

 

[LadyStardust]

Completely uncreative. Stardust is my favorite song, so I just added Lady, and presto!

 

[Lotus Leroux]

Lotus Leroux is a student in a 1937 yearbook I have from Eagle Rock HS, just outside of Los Angeles. I love the name so I borrowed it to use here.

 

[Amelie]

well, mine is my first name... I wanted to go simple for the first time of my board life

 

[Grnidwitch]

I have jade green eyes and I'm wiccan (witch per say) so, grnidwitch.

And it conjures great nosecone art images.

 

[Fletch]

I saw it and thought: grr NID witch. I just figured it was Polish.
