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

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

pfunkallstar really ought to come here and explain his moniker, starting with the founding of The Parliaments in the late 1950s.

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

[Dickie]

My real name is Dandy Dickie, I just dropped the Dandy for simplicity.

[Subby]

I used to play a game called Virtual Producer where you made movie pitches and if the pitch was greenlit by the community, you wrote a treatment/script, cast the movie, and made posters. My studio was called Suburban Films. My IRC name was the same and over time it morphed into Sub and then Subby.

That was a long time ago and I have used Subby ever since. It just fits.

Twenty years ago my accent and tendency towards “creative” pronunciations made me the target of some constant teasing from a grad-school professor. I exacerbated the situation considerably by pronouncing an article entitled “Plus ca change,” in pretty much exactly the way a hick from rural Texas would pronounce it. At any rate, I eventually tired of the teasing and decided to embrace the insult. So the week when we read the History of the Peloponnesian War I took to loudly and confidently critiquing the work of the author, Thukey-Did-Dees. Soon my classmates, including my now wife of 24 years, picked up the Thukey-did-dees refrain. It drove the professor nuts and he backed off the rest of the semester. So through the years it’s stayed one of those silly little common bonds that you share with people you once knew well and our kids, of course, are convinced that there really was a famous Greek philosopher that his friends called Thukey for short.

Secondhand academia story: Lecturer on Cervantes keeps saying “Don Quixoat” (like a Texan?). Audience keeps smirking that lecturer is too dumb to use Spanish pronunciation of Quixote. Lecturer switches to Spanish for remainder of talk. Audience stops laughing.

[Henry]

In my attempt to win the ‘least creative forum member award’, I go by Henry. It’s my first name {yawn}.

Is your last name Rollins??

[Starduster]

*This* ship, [ATTACH=CONFIG]7375[/ATTACH] piloted by this crew [ATTACH=CONFIG]7376[/ATTACH] from the cartoon serials of old.

The Starduster name and the gold star are also part of a fully formed graphic identity for a race team that… well… may yet see the light of day.

I’d never heard of that show before, but I just read up on it on Wikipedia. Sounds fun. There are loads of episodes on Youtube, it looks like. I’ve bookmarked them for future viewing.
