How did you choose your screen name? - Page 10

Tonchi · 09-30-2005, 02:06 AM

Wolf, I swear this is the truth: In the early 90's when I was living in Phoenix, the Sheriff's Department used to take the people who they did not know what to do with after they were released from jail and buy them a bus ticket to Los Angeles, give them $100, and tell them not to come back. This included a predominence of alcoholics and mental cases I guess, who had no place to go except hang around Phoenix and get arrested again. Los Angeles found out what they were doing and threw a major fit. You would have thought they intended to track down every one of that flotsam and ship it right back to Phoenix, but I doubt they could have caught them all. However, the tremendous heat and bad publicity that got dumped on law inforcement in Phoenix put an abrupt end to this "final solution" of theirs

Where did they send them after that? New Orleans?

it's a good thing Leslie Nielsen is funny! maybe that's how he got his sense of humor, by joking his way out of fights in school.

You know that kid's movie, the one with the pony, and the rich kid and the poor kid arguing over who owns it?

Philadelphia PD and Lower Merion PD (a suburban township in my county) do the same thing with crazy people on City Line Avenue, which divides their jurisdictions.

However, instead of calling them, they're trying to encourage them to finish crossing the street in the other direction.

Philadelphia PD wins a lot more often. And then LMPD brings me their prize.

I know who Claudette Colbert is...and I'm younger than blue.

bargalunan · 10-01-2005, 06:53 PM

I've heard of her but I've never seen a film with Claudette Colbert.

Claudette, French name, make me think of Claude François , a really famous 60's and 70's french singer. Intellectual people enjoy disliking him and his lyrics but everybody (in France) always dance on his music. It's old fashionned but dynamic and funny disco.
You can listen to "Magnolias for ever" and "Alexandrie Alexandra" with RealOne Player

He was also famous in dancing with short dressed girls . It was the first time in France. They were called "Les Claudettes". Do you want to dance with them Brianna ?
He's for us a kind of legend with a lot of incredible look-alikes (like Elvis Presley's ones).
Claude François died electrocuted in his bathroom.

My screen name comes from Star wars. George Lucas used this method to find the names of the different characters (like ObiWan Kenobi):
First syllable : First syllable of my family name
Second syllable : First syllable of my first name
Third syllable : First syllable of my mother's family name
Fourth syllable : First syllable of the city where I live.

Ms Colbert was stunning.

This totally will not work for my name.

My family name and my mother's family name are each one syllable.

I would ordinarily post the result, but I don't think you all need to know my answer to most financial institutions' security question.
