Just For Fun

This is just for fun.

Been reading here for a while now. Was wondering how everyone come up with their user name. Or, if there if there is a story behind it.

A lawyer told me about this sight. Been sober since 2000. Trying to get my drivers license back. Because I cannot always get to a meeting he told me about SR.

1963 Comet was my first car.

We do this often, but it's fun to do it every now and then.

Amateur astronomy is one of my hobbies and I collect telescopes and gear. Hence the name Astro. My real name is Scott.

Hey, my first car was a 1964 Corvair convertible.

Well, I think mine is pretty darn clear..I"m a mother of two and drank a whole bunch of red wine!

Maybe I should change it to "used to be Merlot Mamma"

I was drunk when I signed up. I think that's my initials. Inverted twice over to throw them off my trail. Only problem is they ended back up in the correct order. I forgot who them is, sober now, so I need to re-double-invert them. This will not effect yall, and you will not notice any changes. Just trust me.

1969 Barracuda. This is before the paint. I blew the engine and it's in pieces. Hopefully I'll get better pics in the spring.

Alright mine is a bit off the wall. You can tell it was a user name I came up with while drinking. n and m when said out loud sounds like m & m, like the candy. Only m & m was taken so I did the next best thing n and m. I love m & m's candy. They are my favorite weakenss especially since they came out with the dark chocolate ones. Ironically, many people have assumed my name is nan. It's all good though.

I chose my username in honor of the sasquatch of the florida peninsula, the "skunkape" aka swamp ape. It's like bigfoot but it's shorter and puts out a hideous smell. Many drunks claim to have spotted him....

I called myself Rowan after reading The Witching Hour, by Ann Rice. Rowan was a young woman who sounded so very cosmopolitan.
I had yet to hear of Mr. Bean aka Rowan Atkinson.

I was drunk when I signed up, I wanted a username that wouldn't be recognized (i.e., not one of my usual ones). God forbid the terrible them sees my username and recognizes me from another site.

I work at a store called Tellus Mater, so I figured "Tellus" would be easy to remember.

Rob B, I happen to be somewhat of a conneisure of senses of humors, and I find yours impeccable. The kind which would fly right over the head of the casual observer, as in, none at all. The joke's on them.

Tellus, I would elaborate on "them", but I seem to have left my tin-foil hat at my sponsor's house.

Skunkape, on a couple of documented occasions, that was me.
