Family planning…

Is this like a Doctor Who thing?

Maybe more Benjamin Button kind of thing?

Though, I will say, having a child that’s negative 3 years old would definitely help getting on some of the waitlists for day care.

First name, Arlington neighborhood at the time, the added German proposition for intimidation. And there’s a big spike on the top of my bike helmet. And I wear a monocle when I ride.

What a great idea for a thread. I always ask this at happy hours or group rides. Might as well do it here.

Baiskeli (pronounced BYE SKELLEE) is swahili for bicycle. I rode around Africa a little bit a long time ago.

Super huge James Garner fan.

OK, no. When I went to make my first purchase on eBay many years ago, eBay rejected by then-screen name as being too close to my actual name. eBay suggested I take the name of a local park (Rockford Park in Wilmington, Delaware), a number and a color. I’ve been Rockford10Green ever since. It’s shortened here and on other web sites to Rockford10. I’m Rockford11 on Twitter only because I lost that password and it wouldn’t let me reset it. Dumb twitter.

Sorry, but I’m still going to think of James Garner whenever I see you. That’s just the way it is.

Oh, come on, it’s not as long as rcannon’s saga of an explanation.

Guy Continental = my “porn name” (in 1992 kid parlance, at least in Arizona, your porn name was your middle name + the street you grew up on)

Still is. Which is probably why, as “Hampton Berwick,” I failed miserably in the porn business.

Hi all. Often I find myself wondering about your Forum names… what they mean, where they come from, how you ended up with them. I’m very curious about the origin of your names.

I’ll start. Mine is pretty simple… I’m wheels&wings because I work for an organization that protects birds – I run their pesticides program. And the moniker fits me, ‘cause often I feel so deliriously happy on the bike it’s as if I’ve got wings. :+)

“sethpo” for Seth Pollack

I’m very clever.

I was in the Air Force and I’m a VA Tech grad.

I’m highly imaginative….

Be honest: that’s not really why you failed in the porn business…

Thus sayeth the organ master.:rolleyes:

[DismalScientist]

My name derives from an appellation aptly applied to my profession by Thomas Carlyle in the nineteenth century.

You’re right – the truth is that I was too, shall was say, difficult to handle.
