Well..I hesitate to say. Because, my name is a screening device for me. People who “get it”... let me know quickly and subtly by asking if I’ve “seen any rabbits”, or “know the way to the cave”... I immediately know... I LIKE THESE PEOPLE! ;-)

My name is a somewhat obscure reference to a character from Monty Python and the Holy Grail (One of my fave movies). There’s a scene where Arthur and his crew are looking for a cave.... and they ask directions from “Tim, the Enchanter”.

When they ask his name, he replies QUITE dramatically by throwing a few exploding fireballs and saying, “There are Some who Call Me, Tim??”

You have to be a pretty solid Python fan to “get it” on first reading. Only whacked out people... like me! :-)

As for why I chose it? It was as screen name I was using for a couple of other web sites back in 1998. Figured it was best to stay with the same name.

Now, I mostly use “MasterBevo”... (Figure THAT one out!).

But... I like my old name, too.
