Is that a Birkin? It sure looks like it. They used to sell and service them at the garage in Vacaville, CA, where I used to get my BMW worked on.
Not yet
“Fella” was a big, loving, yellow tabby tomcat we had when I signed on to FR. I miss him getting on my chest and butting my face in the mornings.
Trouble is our middle name, isn’t it? :-)
Don’t you have Caller ID??? NEVER answer the phone on your day off! Let your hubby answer and he can always tell them you’ve gone off somewhere. LOL
Are you off tomorrow?
When I first got online in the mid 90’s my usual internet handle was rockr, since I’m a rock and roll guitar player. It got to the point I couldn’t use it any more when I lost all my passwords, computer died and they were all in a text file...so I had to come up with another one. And someone else had already started using it when I got another computer and got back online...so...
I and a couple of friends were all amateur archaeologists, they had nicknamed each other Arrowhead Fred and Clovis Clyde. Clovis is the name of a particular style of spear point made by the paleolithic Native American group known as the Clovis Culture who lived in North America around 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. The point style was first located in or near Clovis New Mexico, the Clovis people were found all over North America. Most types of projectile points are usually named after the first place they are found. Clovis and Folsom are two of the oldest point styles found anywhere in North America. The Clovis people disappeared around 10,000 years ago for unknown reasons. Other groups appeared about 1000 years later. The Folsom people I think were mainly concentrated out west but a few here and there in other places. The newer arrivals still used a very similar flaking style and similar shapes, but not the same as the Clovis and Folsom - the Scottsbluff, San Patrice, Cascade, Cumberland, Plainview are just a few of the older point styles in that later era. So that’s where Clovis Clyde’s nickname originated.
Anyway I ended up nicknamed Paleo Pete. Paleo, in archaeology, means ancient or old. Paleolithic, for example, means old or ancient stone tool user. Paleo means old, lithic refers to the art of making of tools from rocks. Pete is just another name...
So I’m named after ancient stone tool makers...
Not too long after he retired from the Guard...he fell.
Prayers continue for his recovery from horrible head trauma.
On SNL, when Rob Schneider started doing his Richmeister the copy machine guy character that comes up with nicknames for various people who come to make copies, I was a natural to get the treatment. When it came time for a FReeper name...
h !!Thanks, unique.
radu.....#300!!
Good night and rest well, Pro. Thanks for helping honor our troops and thank you for your service to our country.
It began with a funny true story about a rhinoceros in an arid place. Later used on a data sheet I had to fill out in case a SAR helicopter needed to confirm my identity. That way the enemy couldn’t just read data from my tags and ID card to lure a chopper into an ambush.
I keep his name at the top of most of my word docs for all my regular posts.
I remember the words, but always do something wrong the first time and have to go look it up. d:o)
I was a member of another message board, one for a computer game, I kept talking politics and some libtard told me to go join Free Republic, I had never heard of it. I lurked for a couple years till I joined in ‘03. My name at the other board was “Imperator” (yes, I am that full of myself ;) ) which I chose probably cause I had just seen that TV movie with Timothy Dalton as Caesar and Billy Zane as Mark Antony where they used that title a lot so it was in my head when I was choosing a name. People called me “Impy” for short. “Imperator” was taken here, so I went with “Impy”.
That account on that other board I eventually lost when I tried to change the password and they sent a new one to a defunct email addresses. Make sure your password is something you can remember, don’t just keep a random default one!
I was on vacation in California. I didn’t have a laptop yet, so had to beg turns on my host’s computer. One day FR said you have to log in, pick a screen name. I’m not the most creative at anytime, but had to do something quick. Thus the boring screen name.
Thank goodness, I AM off tomorrow and I told ‘em I was not answering the phone! LOL!
Trouble is what we do! :)
My first Freeper name, when FR allowed people to register was MUDFLAP
Good idea! I can’t even MISspell it right half the time! LOL!
LOL! Appropriate!
Glad to get over Hump Day? Hope the rest of the week is smooth sailing.
I joined Free Republic at the time when Israel was fighting Hezbollah forces in Lebanon. My screen name is from the Stonewall Brigade reenacting unit, that I was involved with
LOL! Good for you! They can call someone else in tomorrow if needed.
I’ll be heading out very shortly. Gotta get up in the morning - UGH - to do my stint at the HQ. Been watching the eagles and holy cow! I’m going to start calling the kiddo Jabba, as in The Hut! Never seen such a HUGE crop on a bird before. LOL! Lady won’t stop feeding. That poor little bird will never be able to fly because it’s getting so fat.
