Gadzooks!
I'm an alternative health care professional...massage therapy, Rolfing and such, and I live in a very artsy-fartsy, pseudospiritual, pseudoliberal town. A lot of followers of Madame Blavatsky here, Krishnamurti-ites, Jewish Buddhists, Jewish Sufis, wannabe Indians, Theosophists...and many of these people adopt exotic sounding pseudonyms. Khanun, Snow Deer, Saki...I guess Bob and Mary don't sound spiritual enough. I decided I needed a new name to keep up with my peers, and poke some fun at them, so I became Gadzooks! Bazookian. Gadzooks! is an old oath, like swearing, coarse but politely so, and is always spelled with the exclamation point, and Bazookian sounds middle eastern (Armenian, kinda). I've been using Gadzooks! on boards ever since, though I have also made an occasional appearance as Mr. Smarty Pants.
rcorporon
My name is Ronnie Corporon.

Corporon is a very unusual name, so NOBODY ever has it online, so I juse shortened it to "rcorporon"
MasterMind
My name is a pun on how stupid I am.

Great story 'Zooks, sounds like a great location for a sitcom. I lived in Southern California for years and I'm trying to figure out which particular enclave of eccentrics it might be. An old Air Force roomate was a Redondo Bch surfer and his was the first VW bus I ever saw. It was love at first sight.

my first thread read when I came here as a guest was about the proof Bush is wiretapping his political enemies too.

I thought " I gotta join this place & they can wire tap THIS!. Went right to the member join page & used it as a name, cuz the thought was still lingering there.

And my husband got his because we love Hunter S thompson and he really IS a radical.

Considering the movie "Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas" is one of my favorite movies,
I do like his signature image.

The application is quite perfect!

Ahhh, sweetie, you are NOT stupid at all wry2.gif ... you should see your best friend in the mirror! biggrin.gif


I thought of mine at Afterdowningstreet.org right after Downing Street Memos came out in May 2005 in the London Times. I thought , well the only reporter is British, so I wanted the Brits to know that we Yankees are very greatful to them for reporting it (since American MSM didn't) and that we also have had enough... thus the handle "yankhadenuf".

But thats the beauty of it...it leaves everyone wondering & trying to fill in the blank, so you can be all kinds of things to different people at different times. And because your a kind person, Im sure everyone fills that blank in with good thoughts. biggrin.gif
