LOL! That would be a nightmare name! :)
I did come on board during the Dan Rather debacle and when I heard so much about how FreeRepubic, and Buckhead, outed him. I just had to read about it and then...as you know me....I had to put my 2 cents in so I had to grab a name real quick. It’s the first thing that popped into my head and then to my fingers. :)
A fictional character in our office back in the 1970s.
My favorite salesman would leave it with inquiring secretaries, when they couldn’t spell his real name.
You forgot the spelin an punkchewashun!
In the late 40s early 50s I was a fan of Gene Autry at the Saturday movies. His side kick was played by Pat Butrum who went on the be Mr. Haney on Green Acres. He called Gene Mister Artery.
Boom Operator KC-135A retired.

Thank you. :-)
I don't get it :-)
So I noodled on the problem for a while. I thought that a words can be sharper than swords. . . and since I had actually made swords when I had been in college working as a prop master for the drama department (I had to produce 40 swords that suitably clanged when struck together, looked good, but would not harm the bunch of yahoos who would try to have unpracticed duels with them, for a play they were producing), and it still included "word" in the word "Sword," I input "Swordsmith" going for a triple pun. Alas, once again, it was taken . . . also by someone who was not posting or even visiting! (I later learned when I substituted for the Sysop that it was the SAME GUY! He'd also grabbed any combination that included anything ending in "smith"). Further thinking lead me to the idea that a Smith is a maker of things, so I input "Swordmaker" and low-and-behold, it was available.
For the next 30 years or so, I have been known as Swordmaker online. The vanity license plate on my car even reads SWRDMKR.
A funny. . .
My ex-wife's mother's maiden name was Brown.
She married a man named Johnson.
Her daughter, my now ex-wife married a man (me) named Smith.
Noticing the progression of more and more common names, we told our elder daughter that unless she was planning to continue the progression by marrying someone named Wang or Wong, It was up to her to break this family pattern of the women in our family marrying a more and more common named man and she'd have to marry someone with a long name to do it.
She took our advice to heart. . .
Our older daughter is now Mrs. Long!
I know!
USC, a great school, (and this from a University of Washington Alum) :-)
Dr. Strangelove, one of the BEST movies, EVER!
She is a doll! Yeah, even the pretty ones go loco sometimes :-(
Initials and favorite sport.
In honor of these brave men, I chose "MinuteGal" as my handle because freepers are always ready on a minute's notice for battle against today's enemies of our Republic...and you can bet there was a MinuteGal figuratively at the side of every Minuteman during the battles and skirmishes of the war for our freedom !

Gentlemen! no Fighting in the War Room!
As a kid I really enjoyed adventure movies and loved watching old Errol Flynn pictures. My favorite being his first big hit, “Captain Blood”.
He also went on Crusade and killed a lot of Muslim fanatics.
We may soon need his fierce spirit in America!
No longer in PA, tho.
