I'm from Houston, but am attending grad school in Florida, so my nick was just an obscure geographical reference. Originally, I considered "Launch Pad to Mission Control", but was just too darn lazy to want to type that every time I post. ------------------
Actually my handle originated back in college (funny I act like it was a long time ago, I graduated a year ago) I was a DJ on a radio station and my name was Puffy Nunz. It was a play on words given to me by some fraternity brothers. Puffy because of the music, and Nunz is similar to my last name. SO here I just go by Puff ------------------ A Chuck paraphrase: It was surreal! And I don't even know what that means! Charles after Eddie hit THE SHOT
(Al)ex (Mu)niz The first two letter of my first name and the first two of my last. ------------------ Live Rocketball. Breathe Rocketball. Die with Rocketball.
Sid is a nickname I've has since I was about 11. Don't ask me how I got it, but it's pretty cool because I don't know anybody else called Sid. ------------------
Mine is pretty obvious. I had to come up with a nickname to post under, and Cuttino Mobley is my favorite player so "The Cat" just came logically. ------------------
My name is Larry. I look like Curley. My nickname has been Moe for about 30 years. ------------------
zzzzz....zzzzzzz...... Malone in the lane.....post up on Hakeem....backing it up, backing it up....whoa, looks like an errant elbow....turn, fade.... NO!!!! Kick to the gut!!!!! THE STUNNER!!!!! THE STUNNER!!!!! Malone is down, Malone is down...... The crowd is going nuts!!! Hakeem with solo finger salute now..... ....zzzz....zzz...zzzzzzzzz...... ------------------
Back when I had a Rockets web page of my own, the title was pretty boring. (Nathan's Rockets Page...ugh...) But it had a cult following back in the day. Well, it didn't take long to see that Clutch was the powerhouse site on the net, so I had big plans to revamp the whole site, and become the "Darkhorse Rockets Site" or somesuch... But I ended up getting busy with school, and then I took a hiatus from net life for a while. I went on a two year mission for the LDS church. So when I got back, I kind of laid low for a while. The Rockets aren't the powerhouse they were a couple years ago. But with all the fresh talent on the team, they seem ripe to hit the big scene again... the Darkhorse team of the West... ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain - [This message has been edited by DarkHorse (edited May 20, 2000).]

Well, I was reading Bartleby the Sailor by Melville for school, when i decided to take a break from it and surf the web. I came across this webpage and this bulletin board. Hence when i registered, i just used a name that was at the top of my head. The End ------------------ http://home.uchicago.edu/~ckhuang
My real name - nothing to do with that lardbutt in the red sweater at I.U. I'm a Purdue grad and would never, ever have anything to do with that country club school! G'day, Davo! Euchre - thought that was an Indiana-Michigan card game. Something worthwhile got imported to Oz! Too right! Heypartner: Bobby's my name, bridge is my game. e-mail me a URL where you play and maybe we can hook up someday. ------------------ "Who Wants To Be A Rocket?" - and probably a millionaire as well. The off-season will be interesting!
You may want to reread that book... starting with the title. Melville would be disappointed in you. ------------------ ?
