Long story, but I came here with a group who was banned from Lucianne.com during the Bush election fight at the end of 2,000. I wasn't banned, they were, and they asked me to come along. I liked the humor and cutting edge info of FR far better so I stayed.

My original screen name was my last name, my home building business name, so I asked Jim if he would change it a couple of years later, and he did. I figured the left would use it against my business; I understood how evil they were a long time ago.

Being from Michigan, and a huge fan of all things Lake Michiganish, I took the name from a spoof published locally twenty plus years ago. It was a letter of apology from an aquarium, apologizing for unwittingly letting loose a new shark hybrid into the lake that thrived in fresh water.

It was a mini scandal, sort of like when HG Wells novel War of the Worlds was broadcast. It took years to finally convince a lot of people it was a spoof.

Took the name after the humor of it all, plus, it does have teeth to it.......

Hey good buddy. It’s been a week or three since we touched base. Hope all’s well on your end.

I completely understand you wanting to change your handle to something more anonymous. I’ve tried to keep my real self separate from my online persona for the very same reason.

Funny, but I read all the way to the bottom of your post before realizing it was you. You really hooked me with your story. You spin a good yarn, bro.
