    Okay, some are pretty self-explanatory like Will and Jeff. Others are somewhat obvious in Francis3 or The Cat or SteveFrancis3. But others like Puedlfor, haven, oeilpere, etc. are not, at least not to me.

    So, I ask the following:

    1) What does your handle mean, if it is not an obvious one?

    2) Why did you choose that name for your handle?

    My name is one that doesn't need a meaning, but it is interesting on how I chose it.

    Being a Red Sox fan, I figured that all the current Rocket players names like Francis, Mobley, Kenny Thomas, etc. were taken plus I didn't want to use part of my real name (don't know why). I also wanted something, *surprise*, that would stick out.

    Therefore, I figured that there wouldn't be any Red Sox fans that would also like the Rockets then I found out that there's a Nomar plus DEANBCURTIS is a Red Sox fan as well. I think choosing "Manny Ramirez" also helped designate me to others here that I don't live in Houston or in Texas. But that is my feeling, but not necessarily someone else like say, Nomar's feelings on it.

    Anyway, what's the story behind your CC.NET handle?

    it was like 3 am when i was registering and i didn't wanna think too hard. i think i tried some other generic name but it was too long so i just went with this. plus i got to use abbreviations like 4 and prez, which of course is wicked cool to do.

    Got drunk.
    Watched Simpsons.
    Watched Return of the Jedi.
    Became fascinated with three letter words that repeated themselves such as Yub Yub.
    Decided to stop lurking on CC.com.

    In the morning, I had a hangover and was stuck with Joe Joe.

    Oh, I've played that trivia but never bothered to notice its name. And I knew your last name, but didn't make the connection. Doh.

    I was kinda hoping it was a misspelling for the peanut butter co.

    One time, I was walking down the street and was mugged by a gang of circus midgets wearing stiletto heels and parachute pants....Well, you can pretty much fill in the blanks from there...

    At the time Big Pun's single "It's So Hard" was really popular and since I only weight 180 lbs all my friends started calling me Lil Pun.
