OMG! Glinda is the good witch. At least I got the “duh” part right.

This thread is very fun and interesting. Thanks PROCON.

There have been so many iterations of Eddie over the years. I first saw Iron Maiden around 1980 at the Summer Strut in Anaheim Stadium. Great band!

I wonder if there’s a FReeper that goes by Wrathchild?

[Dr. Sivana]

I grew up reading Superhero comic books, and had a fondness for the old school 1940s issues. I generally favored Captain Marvel over Superman, but thought that using his name (or his alter ego, Billy Batson) would be a bit much to live up to, so I went with his nemesis, the "world's wickedest scientist" Dr. Sivana.

Occasionally, someone unversed in older comic book characters will ask me (or accuse me) as if I were holding myself out as a real doctor, so I have to let people know that I model myself after a comic book doctor, which doesn't really count.

One of my many, many college nicknames, the genesis and evolution of which is too lengthy to explain (not to mention boring and silly).

[Mr. Jeeves]

Jeeves the butler from Wodehouse’s novels - and the brilliant Fry and Laurie TV series. The man who knows everything...and I have often been described as a know-it-all. :)

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

First, click on my name. Then I’ll explain the joke

[upchuck]

My FReeper name is my bank’s fault. I needed a screen name there long ago. I wanted to use Chuck as in ground and also drill. But Chuck was already taken. So I started trying different variations of Chuck. Turns out upchuck wasn’t taken.

When I got to FR in 2001, my bank screen name followed me.

Oops I meant 98 not 97

Was in the middle of signing up when I spilled my coffee.

Bump, keep up the good work!

[PROCON]

I’m not really a nerd, or anything.

Thanks for playing, Nerd :-)

[exit82]

exit82—my exit # off the Garden State Parkway in NJ when I lived there.

In NJ when folks ask where you live, they ask “What exit”?

Usually means which exit off the GSP, the NJ Turnpike, or one of the Interstates.

[Fiji Hill]

Fiji Hill towers over the Northeast Los Angeles community of Eagle Rock. Occidental College, where I earned an AB degree in history, sits on its western slope.

Oh, you live next to the Clintons! :-)

[StAntKnee]

Thanks for the link. Because of you I was lost in classical music for a few. Thanks for that, too.

[PROCON]

I’m a teacher.

Come-on, who uses chalk anymore?

White boards, baby, white boards!

[Soaring Feather]

When I first came to FR I was going to use just feather, alas
the name was taken.
SO...........I did the bentfeather thing. :)
