I'm lazy and I'll pick up stuff off the floor with my ridiculously long toes rather than bending down. My wife calls me MonkeyBoy when I do so. I think she called me that a few minutes before I registered and I figured it was as good a name as any.

Fishcop 05-15-2005 05:21 PM

Ha ha, I call my wife Monkeygirl for exactly the same reason! Though normally she uses her abilities for evil... like pinching me in bed to wake me up :rolleyes:

xlr8 is the short form of my old AOL screen name XLR8V1VRV2.

My two favorite things to do are to fly low in my 911 and fly high in my airplane, a Beechcraft Bonanza.

Many have asked over the years.

Saturday Night Live used to do a recurring skit about a bunch of caveman types led by character played by Mike Meyers named Lothar of the Hill People. I always thought the skit was funny, albeit mighty dumb.

When asked for a handle on a website even before Pelican, the thought to use Lothar came to mind. It has stuck ever since.

Here's an odd point: In the Welsh language, "w" is a vowel that sounds like the "oo" in moon, hence in Welsh the name would be pronounced "poorsche". Which probably has another meaning for most of us, given how much money we sink in these things.

I love Julie and want to include her in everything I do...even if she doesn't get on the boards and chat with us. But she IS a Pcar fan...and an old Beetle fan. A different kind of enthusiast, but an enthusiast non-the-less.

..oh, and it's easy to remember..

..ok, one more...it seems I change cars too often to have my name relate to any of my cars. :D

My driving style and the year and model of my car.....

Christien 05-16-2005 05:54 AM

Obvious - first name. Not many other people spell it with an e (usually "Christian") so it's pretty unique, at least outside French-speaking areas. Funny story - I lived in Montreal for 3 years and my name was misspelled more than ever. I almost had my gas shut off because I didn't pay the bill for 6 months because I didn't recognize the name on the bill - they screwed it up so badly, I just assumed it was the previous tenant.

RickM 05-16-2005 05:59 AM

Ricky Martin is my idol....heh heh

gorfllub 05-16-2005 06:01 AM

gorfllub = bullfrog backwards. My name is Jeremy. Jeremiah was a bullfrog. My nick in school was bullfrog.

But, everywhere I go to sign up, bullfrog is already long gone. So gorfllub it is.

BigKenSteele 05-16-2005 06:23 AM

My last name is Esterle (pronounced "Ester lee"). Several years ago, someone, most likely with lysdexia, somehow mispelled it as "Ken Steele". At the time, I had been searching for the perfect porn name for myself, and I thought that "Big Ken Steele" was pretty funny. Unfortunately, I was later informed that there was already an actor who went by this name, and let's just say that there are not a lot of women in his films (not that there is anything wrong with that). By that time, I had already used it for email, ebay, etc., so I have kept it hoping that the majority of people aren't too familiar with gay porn.
