    Oski is a nickname a very beautiful girl gave me back in 8th or 9th grade.

    2005 is the year I'm supposed to graduate from college.


    It wasn't til about 3 years ago that I found out that the Berkeley mascot is a bear named Oski as well.

    could have been complex...

    "DEANBCURTIS" could have been:

    "Dean be Curtis" as in Dean's real name is Curtis.

    or

    "Dean be Curtis" as in the Dean of the College of Art is Curtis.

    or

    maybe you ran out of room for your username and you wanted it to be "Dean be Curt is" a Cool Username.

    or

    "Dean be Curt is" as in your name is Dean and you are "curt" meaning abrupt to the point of being rude.

    or

    maybe you were just trying to do a take on the "JohnnyBeGood" thing with "DeanBCurt".


    told you i was bored. :(

    My name was JAG, as in my initials, but after I screwed my computer up, and couldn't get that back, I really chose MacBeth on the spur of the moment; it's just about the favorite dramatic role I've ever played, and the others ; Algernon, Hamlet, etc. were either too suggestive, pretentious, or just didn't sound as cool. I have always liked the way MacBeth rings, especially with a fake Scottish accent. From what I recall, the Robert Carlisle show might have been on the tv at the time, and brought it to mind.

    Originally I wanted Wolffeet. Then I realized wolves don't have feet, they have paws.

    Wolfpaws didnt sound right so I thought, no.

    So RIET it was.

    pronounced "bee bob," by the way... just in case some of you mentally stutter when you see the handle.

    Kimble: in honor of Loyola Marymount star Bo Kimble, but inspired to use as a first name by KC running back Kimble Anders (who was named after Dr. Richard Kimble, The Fugitive); generally my username on the Web if I get there soon enough (Slashdot, Kuro5hin, ESPN, etc.)

    14: in honor of the man, the myth, the legend who didn't make the Suns' playoff roster: fellow Vanderbilt grad Dan Langhi (q.v. my signature)

    Other common usernames of mine are eithkay (my first name in Pig Latin; also my domain name with .com added) and hudsonfoods (Hudson being my last name, Hudson Foods being a frozen food company that got a lot of people sick from E. coli ~7 years ago and has since been bought out by Tyson).
