I wondered how you chose your nickname, or even your tagline. I enjoy reading the wide variety of names and taglines, as well as some home pages. FReepers are very creative, and smart. I've learned a lot here!
As long as it isn’t McCain:)
I don’t know one vet voting for McCain- though I guess many are, going by what the MSM says..
Oh yeah!
It’s my name.
Fender Stratocaster Guitars
Signed onto an iVillage political forum during the Clinton impeachment and was harassing the liberal posters by posting stuff from FR (was just a lurker here then), they called me a ravingnutter.
In 1965 I got out of the army, married my wife, and found a job at IBM. Later in the year IBM sent me off to school on the IBM 360 mainframe computer, which in its day was as revolutionary as anything since. I fixed hardware for 18 years plus, and software for for several more before moving up to systems engineer, then IT consultant for 10 years after retiring from IBM. Mainframes have been very good to me.
P. S. my tagline is self-explanatory.
A nun told me my mother never dropped me as a child, but that she threw me in sheer frustration.
1) 'Motley' means being of different colors combined.
Her coat was multi-colored and she had a very colorful personality as well.
2) I'm a Motley Crue fan.
3) She was a female cat and I'm of the female persuasion, so I went with 'girl.' Also, I often called her Motley Girl.
4) I was born in 1970.
Here's a picture of Motley (Girl):
Tactical logician.
Last name begins with . . . well, you can guess.
I’d been reading FR for a while and couldn’t hold back with my opinions any longer. I had a batch of cookies in the oven and that’s what I used for my FR name.
I’ve sung the song a trillion times to my kids and my grandchild!
Just for fun ping.
She’s precious!!
No, I'm not kidding. The President of the United States was acting like a three-balled tomcat on Saturday night. Our President. Really.
I told you you wouldn't believe me. :-(
You no doubt have learned to conserve storage space, memory and code. I didn’t get into computers until the early 80s, before hard drives. It still amazes me that gigabytes are so cheap (they’re talking about petabytes now!).
Mine is not terribly original. Look out! Here comes the rant.
I live in the SF Bay Area and as a consequence, feel somewhat like a freakish outcast when a discussion moves toward politics.
I feel forced to hide my political identity, because in my area most right wing values are viewed as hate speech.
I am a Christian.
I strongly believe in 2A.
I don’t agree with homosexuality.
I am against illegal immigration and any form of amnesty regardless of any clever disguise they try to wrap it in. They shouldn’t have come here in the first place and should all go home. 9/11 showed us that legal immigration has pitfalls as well. They were here on expired visas obtained with false documents.
I believe Islam is a Satanic death cult, and understanding the concepts of global Jihad and Al-Taqiya, I have a tendency to fear or distrust any of my Muslim neighbors. Therefore I refuse to vote for Obama, and believe anyone who does is woefully ignorant or aiding the enemy in their attempt at an inside takeover.
I believe we should drill at home, wherever the oil happens to be and the nanny staters and enviroweenies should be on a microleash.
I believe free-trade and overtaxation and regulation of businesses have ruined us and threatened our national security.
I believe we should have nothing to do with the UN, and that the UN doesn’t belong on American soil.
I believe the global warming theory is bull s*it.
I don’t believe in billions of dollars spent in foreign aid for the WOD or AIDS. I don’t believe in billions of dollars being wasted at home on people who shouldn’t have sneaked in here to begin with. If these Marxist leaders believe in redistribution so much, why not keep it all at home and use the money to help AMERICANS or rebuild the military that the Clintons gutted like a fish?
In my area that makes me:
A hypocritical bible thumper.
A gun nut.
A homophobic.
A racist.
A bigot.
A destroyer of Gaia.
A protectionist.
A warmonger.
LOL, I’ve wondered about your nickname! Good one!
