Elite 4344  | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym My pseudonym is not really a secret. I have said many times that I am a much too old grad student (52) at Georgia Tech; ergo a Tech Geezer. I am also Thomas Wilson. I find it interesting that so many people on this forum are not reluctant to let their true identity be known. People must feel pretty safe. It's a good thing. TW |

Elite 3020 Bay Area, CA | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym Well, mine is one I use on other email. I've had it for a while. CA - for the fact I live in california. Dreamer - for the fact if we don't dream who are we anyway. And a little bit for the song "California Dreaming" which is a song I've always liked. California Dreaming by the Mamas and the Papas All the leaves are brown And the sky is grey I've been for a walk On a winter's day I'd be safe and warm If I was in L.A. California dreaming On such a winter's day Stopped into a church I passed along the way Well, I got down on my knees And I pretend to pray You know the preacher likes the cold He knows I'm gonna stay California dreaming On such a winter's day All the leaves are brown And the sky is grey I've been for a walk On a winter's day If I didn't tell her I could leave today California dreaming On such a winter's day On such a winter's day On such a winter's day Anyway, it seems to fit pretty well. The avatar - I found and I love it. My dream is to actually feel like that while swimming/biking/running - which I currently DON'T mostly because I need to lose serious weight. |

Expert 1279 Northern VA | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym So Nancy, I don't understand from your explanation why you mis-spelled CARPE ? I thought you were either Crappay Diem (like have a crappy day -not the fish!) or you were a CPA and botched up the spelling of that. Hmm. Inquiring minds wanna know! |

Expert 1279 Northern VA | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym Oh 33 - that was my number when I played running back for the Dallas Cowboys - we won the Super bowl and I was MVP. The 33 was also my identity code when I was a spy for the CIA. And its also the number of the worlds tallest mountains that I summitted in 33 days. Gawd I gotta get a better user name so I have a good story to post! |

| Regular 66 Milwaukee | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym Myths and legends, that's what school was for me while trying to grow up in Mexico. A legend around the Micronesian Islands about who would be the strongest man. So this two chiefs got into one canoe sitting back to back. As they began two row to see who would determine this tug-of-war, the canoe broke in two pieces. Tagaman was the first international triathlon hosted in Saipan (just little north of Guam) and as a motto it read "who is the strongest man in the island?" "Who is Tagaman" I got third in 1997 in my age group. And I was sure would be first last year....didn't make it to the race  My flying cow with the halo makes a reference to my spiritual salvation two years ago. It has been a very long story; in short it is "My holy cow!" sort of like to shake those pews and get people to laugh and become alive. |

| Extreme Veteran 444 Thunder Bay, Ontario | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym I've had greek mythology on my brain for years: my boat was named 'nereus', I used to use 'bachus' for a password (I love wine) and Athena 'cause I think I'm pretty smart (lot of others might disagree). But since coming to this site, it gives it a whole new meaning !! My actual name is Lisa and I'm not even greek, my parents were from Italy. |

| Master 2233 Mechanicsburg, PA | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym keepitup - Since you are from Kingston, I would recommend a shipwreck for an avatar. There's a really cool side paddle wheel wreck called the Comet that is an amazing wreck. http://www.scubaq.ca/ontarioscubadiving/comet.htm Lara_SD - Please bring back the shark!!!! THe pythons were cool too, but sharks are the most amazing creatures on the face of the planet. Well, them and my labrador. One keeps me in awe of nature and the other just cracks me up nonstop. -Frank Edited by scuba-punk 2004-09-14 8:19 AM |

| Veteran 175 Albury, Oz | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym I am so glad I asked! I have learnt more about the poster family in one thread than I have in the 2 months I have been here! However I must get a goldfish avatar as I cannot remember everyone's real name - you're all your pseudonym to me! And I like it - genderless and meaningful. How can you ever have misread Zagagirl?? And isn't it interesting that a lot of people have other interests that are a bit left of centre - motorbike racers, pilots, white water rafters etc etc. Can I just say I am not one of them?! Heights terrify me almost as much as open water ;-) Dx |

| Member 531 New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym Mines dull Mike is for my name – the NH is for New Hampshire where I now live and the E is for exile. I was known as New Hampshire Exile on some boards that I use but as I am a mod/owner of some I can’t leave my name logged in all the time for security so I’d have to type New Hampshire Exile every time I went onto the boards. Got bored with that so changed to NHE. SO its mikenhe. Hello - hello – anyone still awake out there? Hello….. (Lincs guy - -you should have gone for something Impish. PS – you know Nettleham at all?) |

| Extreme Veteran 441 windsor, ontario | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym um....well... I got nuthin... no imaginative nicknames...last name smith, so all through my youth, the obvious nickname is 'smitty'...so nobody took the time to develop a 'cool' nickname (like 'rib eye', or 'porterhouse'...definitely not 'coco')...as I grow (rapidly) older, 'smitty' becomes less and less appropriate...so I got nuthin's oops, sorry, did that tear stain my post??? d |

Champion 7704 Williamston, Michigan | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym Very boring. I've used Sue7013 for years. Sue is my first name and 7013 was my beeper number when I was a resident. It has become almost a habit and its easy to remember. Also its never taken as a user name. |

| Extreme Veteran 493 Greer, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym Most people think mine is about my size. Although that would definitely fit, it actually comes from an old high school prank. Me and a couple of friends were caught trying to steal the "Bigboy" statue from the outside of a local Shoney's bigboy Restraunt. Luckily the manager had teenagers of his own and showed us some mercy by not pressing charges. The kids starting calling my "Bigboy" the next Monday at school and I guess it kind of stuck. |

| Elite 3972 Reno | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym It is my super hero name. Derived from powers I posessed while wearing a particular pair of red capri pants (which I fit into again thanks to tri training!). Don't worry, now that I am an engaged woman, I put a block on everyone but Derreck..... The girlfriends and I got tired of our "spice girl" names (I was rock hammer spice). Joe - I always think of your name as a nickel mining company out of Canada (INCO).... |

| Regular 134 Grand Rapids, Minnesota | Subject: RE: Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym As a teenager I spent a summer or 2 with the nickname Barbie after applying a little bit too much "Touch of Sun" to my hair. The name Barbie reminds me of being young, fun, energetic, etc. The name TriBarbie just makes me feel young and energetic again. It also inspires me to keep working to lose the 50 lbs and look as great as I feel. |
