Allright - I have been stumbling across some truly obscure screen names in the last few weeks, so I thought it would be interesting for all of us to know what your names mean and/or how they came about?

One of my favorite local actors is named James Donadio. He's done some film work as well as stage work - you can look him up on the Internet Movie Database (www.us.imdb.com). He was in that movie "Gordy" - the one about the pig. Anyway, I have admired him for many years, as I am also an actor. Haven't gotten to work with him yet, though.
Another one of my favorite actors around town and a very good friend is Andy Meeks, whose name I use on several other message boards I go to. I wanted to branch out a bit and try something different, so I am James Donadio here. My real name is Mark, though. I think I've said that on occasion before.
Home is where your humidor is.

Nothing special about mine. My name is Lance, and I really enjoy silence.... so I thought I'd try to make something witty with my name.

cwhite6 is from when I went to LSU. It was my assigned login id to the LSU system. C for Charles, White for my last name, and I am the 6th person in their system to be a cwhite. Now I am too lazy to make up another one.

Signed my schoolwork as Dave Kool in High School...dkool just a short version. Have DKOOL Transport on the doors of my trucks. Many a cop/DOT officer has asked what the hell kinda company did I drive for with a name like that. Whatever, just me and my off the wall normal self

well, "broozer" is a nickname that i had given to me by a girl that sang in a band i was in back in '95/'96. of course she's the only one that still calls me that.
Miranda and I already had this conversation; but for everyone else.
Hiram Abiff is the central persona in the degree of Master Mason, part of the Ancient Free & Accepted Masons (or F & AM depending upon your jurisdiction).
Among other things, I have found virtually all the Masons I have met to be gracious and kind hearted gentlemen - many of whom enjoy cigars, and a lot more of the age who wish they still could. My local Scottish Rite Temple is one of the few public buildings that still allows cigar smoking inside - and it is a great environment for conversation and smokes; 25 foot high ceilings, lots of leather bound books in the book cases, a billard table and a eight foot by 6 foot fireplace with marble mantle.
2B1 ASK1; I would encourage all of you out there who enjoy good conversation, fellowship, and charitable works to look up one of the Masonic Bodies in your home town and inquire about membership; we are open to all faiths, creeds, and politics - you will find it well worth your time.
I used to have a team reporting to me in a company I worked for doing process improvement work - I called them the Special Work Force, they called me The Captain. They gave me a baseball cap that said Captain and had scrambled eggs on the brim.
I lost that hat while rafting on a tough stretch of the Cheat river several summers later, when we flipped the raft.
Ironic, isn't it....
