Since everyone does not want to know
December 8, 2007 - 12:49 ET by Lame CherryMy name is actually Holy Spirit inspired and I did not realize the full context of it until later. At the time I was looking for a new name for my rock band as I did not want to use the original as people tend to steal things from me.
I came up with Lame Cherry as the front band as at the time I was studying by profiling the sexual behaviors of people. I spoke with the gambit of all types in the research and had a vast array of venues explored from stories to direct conversations.
In the end, I found out that thee experts in this world on sex..........to the experts on the internet are all very afraid of the subjects which motivate them. Just as people speak about things which are most troubling to them, a great many people focus on the things which addict them and they have no control over and it manifests as "expert" when they are absolutely out of control. (Makes one look at Hugh Hefner different when you realize he is unable to deal with relationships in a normal manner. Oh and in dealing with centerfolds..........if people knew who these women were really inside, they would be wide eyed in finding they are lost little girls who are quite the last of people you would ever want to be around.)
In any case, I realized awhile into this that Lame Cherry was God's joke in people are quite lame about sex in never understanding it and as it graduated to other studies of human behavior profiles people are just as lame in their being experts.............Al Gore being an environmental Cherry lame example, of course Gore is only using it to seize power and his followers are the lame example like Professor McKinley of Wisconsin.
But that is the explanation of what no one wanted to ever know, but I kind of like the name Lame Cherry now as it gives little twirps a target in hate mail to always come up with, "That was lame".
agtG.........I liked His joke.

am also a musician and a Bible scholar, and my name was also inspired
by the Holy Spirit of God...I was minding my business,not bothering
anybody when I received a letter in the mail from my soon-to-be
ex-wife's mother. A staunch catholic,she wanted to remind me that my
soul was headed for eternal damnation because I was divorcing her
daughter. Nice lady. She pointed out a couple scriptures and told me I
was "worse than an infidel". At that time (years ago) I was'nt
really sure what an infidel was,so I found me a Bible and started
pickin' her letter apart and I've never put it down since (the Bible,
not that hag's letter). I did not plan on or want to be a minister, but
when God says do it you do it. 5 is GRACE or unmerited favor in
Biblical numerics...so if anyone ever has a question about the Bible I
am
sent forth by the grace of God.

December 9, 2007 - 00:01 ET by easygoerEasy Goer; my favorite racehorse of all time. He's also one of the best ever. In the 1989 Belmont he was up against Sunday Silence who had bested him in the Derby and Preakness. I still thought he'd turn the tables in NY. After winning a few bucks on the undercard, I decided to bet $500 on him to win. Now, I was 28 years old and had never bet more than $50 on anything. While waiting on the $100 minimum line, I started to have doubts, not so much about the horse, who I felt was a superior stayer, but about the money. By the time I got up to the front of the line I had resolved to reduce the bet to $100. Then the I heard the guy in front of me announce his bet to the teller, $7000 to win on Easy Goer! I suppose it emboldened me for I did bet the $500. A few minutes later as I was milling around with friends waiting for the race, I saw the guy who had made the big bet standing by the bar. So I approached him, he was a very well dressed, elderly black man, and I said that I couldn't help but overhearing him but did he really have that much confidence in the horse to justify such a wager. He replied that he was a retired physician who flew in from California for the race and yes, he thought the horse couldn't lose. We spoke for a minute or so then went our separate ways. Turns out he was right, for Easy Goer won like a champ at 8-5 in the 2nd fastest time in Belmont history (Secretariat). While the 8-5 odds may seem short, they were the longest odds of his career. Either way it was a nifty score with the total payout of around $1300 and change. After the race I saw the the old doctor and we had a drink as we watched replays of the race. Pretty soon he was on to handicapping the next race (he was still alive in the late double) and my friends and I were on a train leaving Belmont Park bound for Manhattan. It was a good time in the Big Town that June night. http://youtube.com/w...

December 8, 2007 - 15:52 ET by ThreePuttinDudeWell, it was many years ago, I was in a golf tourney. We were on the 18th green, all I had to do was 2 putt to win, as luck would have it, my first putt was short. I lined up my next and it went whizzing past the hole. I had to sink a 2 footer for the tie.
On the first play-off hole, I again got the yipps on the green. From that point on, in club houses around S/W Florida, I've been refered to as "That ThreePuttinDude"

Meaning Of My Name
December 8, 2007 - 16:49 ET by Repeal 16-17As most of you would guess, I want the 16th and 17th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution repealed. Those are two of the Constitutional amendments from the "Progressive Era" (the other two are the already repealed 18th and the unquestioned 19th). The 16th authorized the income tax (a Karl Marx idea) and the 17th provided for popular election of U.S. Senators (removing any direct State check on the Congress). These two amendments have led to the Nanny State. If we want to return the federal government to start returning to what the Framers designed, these two wounds to the Constitution must be healed.
Respectfully disagree
December 8, 2007 - 21:38 ET by Unsane1) What would you replace the income tax with? (The income tax isn't the problem; it being wretchedly complicated is, and it has been bastardized into being a Socialist instrument, thanks to Leftists)
2) Repealing the 17th Amendment won't change a thing, except for procedure.

Montana
December 8, 2007 - 19:09 ET by ChaitealoverSoon after my grandson began attending UM in August, I came across this quote from my favorite author:
"I’m in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love. And it’s difficult to analyze love when you’re in it."
----John Steinbeck, "Travels with Charley"
I visited Missoula in July, fell in love with the area, and can't wait to go back. However as it's 54 degrees here [4pm, San Diego] and 25 degrees there right now, I think I'll wait a while.

I actually decided on my
December 8, 2007 - 17:41 ET by drillanwrI actually decided on my user name (drillanwr) when I registered on Front Page Magazine's site to post replies.
I did not want to use my actual name specifically because I wanted my gender to not be a factor in someone's response or interpretation of my opinions.
Also, when coming up with a user name I wanted something that would side-handily slap liberals ... drilling ANWR. At the time we were in the initial stages of the Iraq invasion. All I heard was that it was George Bush's war for oil for his oil buddies. So, my counter to that was "if you don't want to go to war in oil rich countries then shut up and let us drill on our own territory ... ANWR specifically!"
Hence, a "User Name" was born.
Besides NBs, I use it on Pat Dollard's Young Americans site, Front Page Magazine (but I don't post hardly at all there anymore ... too many ugly libs were taking over), and another blog/site or two that slip my mind at this moment. So, if you see it on another site it is more than likely me ...
My REAL name, BTW, is Maggie.

December 8, 2007 - 22:16 ET by pbthinkerDown here, they figured out the early and often, just not the correct. The Democrats, in Florida, can't even find a new voting system they think they can fix. They tried touch-screens, but they didn't have a paper trail so, now, they've gone back to optical scan machines (gotta have something subjective if you're going to fix an election). The leader of all of this is Rob Wexler (yes, the same one that was on TV nightly, defending Clinton during impeachment). He got Theresa LePore thrown out and has his agreed upon successor in office now (Arthur Anderson) but is unhappy with him and wants to put someone up against him next election. Apparently, Rob just wants to make sure that, when he decides to fix the next election, it gets fixed correctly.

December 8, 2007 - 19:00 ET by FastEdFor me, it is an old nickname, due to having a very nice 1968, British Racing Green, with a gold body line stripe, Corvette Coupe. T-top, and it was the only year that the rear window was removable. Was a 327/350 w/3:36 rear. It got about 21 mpg on the highway, 'course pump prices at the time (1971-1981) were about 50 cent.
With friends, using a CB, I was of course called FastEd (once got the thing wound out to about 90 in 1st gear, society shifted to 4th, on the Garden State Parkway). For other locations, I've had to resort to FastEdNJ, and because I live in a Blue state, I've got to be fast.

I drove a 73' Blazer back
December 8, 2007 - 20:50 ET by BlazerI drove a 73' Blazer back in highschool and smoked copious amount's of marijauna. Funny thing is, around the time I decided quit smoking dope was about the same time I became a conservative. Coincidence?

Open eyes
December 8, 2007 - 20:54 ET by saw the lightMy name came from my early days growing up in a very democratic family. There was a picture at my grandparents house with my grandpa and Harry Truman (we're from Missouri). Being a democrat was just as natural as breathing. The first crack was when I asked my mom why we were democrats. She said it was because the republicans were for the rich and the democrats were for the little guys.
I voted for Bill Clinton in 1992, but with a heavy heart (and more shame as the years pass). Since, I have come more disillusioned by the amoral conduct of "Slick Willie" in the Oval Office as well as the holocaust that is abortion. My wife and her parents were conservative, but also come from a democrat family. I credit her more than any other aspect in helping me "see the light."
Now, with a career as a firefighter [and in the union that backed Kerry in 2004 and Dodd in 2008 (is he still in the race?)] and a beautiful four year old daughter, I see the importance of maintaining our national security and a sense of morality that will see us through the 21st century.
That being said, I would probably have picked something like "smoke eater" to honor my profession!
Go MU!

From "To Kill A Mockingbird"
December 8, 2007 - 21:32 ET by Scout FinchA favorite movie of mine as a kid. My mother cut my hair much like the character in the movie, which provided a physical resemblance. To this day, I can't listen to the opening theme music without conjuring up many sweet memories of my childhood.
The origin of Unsane
December 8, 2007 - 21:35 ET by UnsaneWhile thinking of screennames to use, I chose "Unsane". Why?
1) I figured "Insane" was taken. You see, I am described as "insane", "utterly insane", or variations thereof. I had a good officer friend of mine who would introduce me as "This is ________; he's insane!"
2) How to replace "insane"? Why, I was inspired by my headbanging side...back in 1996, Slayer visited San Antonio with the band Unsane as the opener.
3) Thus, the name Unsane was born. A tribute to friends of mine, my headbanging days...and one of the best concerts I have seen to date!!!

Hey, I knew about "Unsane"
December 9, 2007 - 02:29 ET by RESTLESS 1Hey, I knew about "Unsane" being a band. Missed that show though. I saw Slayer more than once though. Did you ever get to "The Showcase" on West Ave. before it turned into a tejano joint. Lots of metal there, and not the radio friendly kind either.
As a matter of fact...
December 9, 2007 - 22:12 ET by UnsaneIn fact, I saw that 1996 concert at The Showcase. Shortly thereafter it closed its doors as we knew it. That was Slayer's "Undisputed Attitude" tour.

I really think that questioning others' masculinity is a game probably better left to people who haven't had more cock in and out of them than a Tyson Chicken regional distribution center. AceOfSpades 06162007
Not hiding - just Google w0tm
December 8, 2007 - 22:25 ET by w0tmI'm often asked "what a weird screen name!". "Got something to hide?" No and no. Google w0tm and you'll find me. The 0 is a zero. Fun hobby! Almost as much fun as Newsbusters!
My nickname for most of
December 9, 2007 - 08:49 ET by DaBirdMy nickname for most of my life has been Bird or Birdman. Then when the SNL skit came out many years ago with the guys sitting around talking about "Da Bears", I became Da Bird.

December 8, 2007 - 22:52 ET by motherbeltHas to do with karate.
When my daughter earned a black belt in TaeKwonDo at age 13, my friends kidded me about her intimidating me. I told them she may have a black belt, but I had the "Mother" belt, which outranks everything. It became a joke between my daughter and me.
