    It's not a handle, its a way of life

    actually i'd tell the story again but it's much too dull and much too long


    I have had a lady refuse to sell me an item on ebay because of the name. I was trying to buy a antique christning dress for my daughter at the time. I tried to tell her I didn't practice voodoo, I wasn't the pope, and as a matter of fact I had numerous questions for god when I met him IF he exists. I think that might have sealed the deal. :confused:

    Kilgore Trout is a character that appears in a few Kurt Vonnegut novels.

    An excerpt from slaughterhouse five:

    (Money Tree)

    Trout, incidentally, had written a book about a money tree. It had twenty-dollar bills for leaves. Its flowers were government bonds. Its fruit was diamonds. It attracted human beings who killed each other around the roots and made very good fertilizer.
    So it goes.

    3814 = chad ... my name.

    "c" is the 3rd letter of the alphabet.
    "h" is the 8th.
    "a" is the 1st.
    "d" is the 4th...hence, 3814.

    Back in 96 or so, I was joining a "online" gaming thing, through hyper terminal. Well, it was some kind of role playin game using words.

    Anyways. I looked around my room to figure what I would use as my name as my character. I ended up seeing an ad from a game called Uprising.

    Ever since then, the name has stuck with me. I use it where ever I can. If it is taken, I am usualy Uprising3k. :cool:

    Employment opportunities at Yellow Cabs. They always played those commercials (and the personal injury attorneys) in the daytime on channel 26 and 39.

    I was a big fan of Petticoat Junction re-runs.

    remember the Randall's ad that had the kid shooting jumpers on his driveway late at night...he's acting out the end of a game with Gene Petersen calling it in the background...

    "HE LETS IT FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY....."

    Elvin Hayes did the commercials, but unless something changed, the street name is spelled "Hays". To be exact :

    "1406 Haaaaaaaays Street". :D

    I guess they couldn't find famous people named "Hays". ;)
