I think you have a very beautiful name, Wol. It sounds very important and distinguished. My first love had the same first name as you so maybe I am a little biased. :redface:

Oo er, i just came over all hot :smile:

Yes, Ed's hands are demonstrating the size of the shoe, and you, Aether, are , apparently, revealing your age.
That's pretty big alright...I'm in my early 40's now, and the Ed Sullivan show last aired when I was about seven years old. I always liked to hear him say his signature phrase "it's going to be a really-big sheeew...".

Did you use a program to get the random like Wolram did? When I saw your username, the first thing I thought was it was a combo first and last name.

I chose my name becase I was listening to a lot of Jools Holland at the time, and I think Hootenanny sounds cool. :approve:

It's funny cause Ivan also flashed back to Ed Sullivan the first time I explained what "zoobyshoe" meant.

Yeah, our family made a point to watch Ed every week. It was a pretty entertaining show. I actually saw the Beatles' first performance.

Realizing how much you don't know is a sure sign you're not dumb.

Now, now, Woolie... just because you can't get your sponges in a pot doesn't mean that you're stupid... :biggrin:

Incontroversional evidence cause i have no idea what that means, that first
word is wrong but i know what i mean.:smile:

I believe that you meant 'incontrovertable'. Anyhow, how can you not know what that means? Your sponge cake-into-a-pot-of-goo machine...
 
  • #71
My username was the verification code the forums gave me to read when i was joining, you know the semi-scrambled human readable code. :p

( The sadistic side of me chuckles at all you crazy people trying to apply meaning to the meaningless )

Woolie-ram, anyone that has a fondness for fossils is number one in my book. I've just decided to buy a new digital camera just to get better pictures of my fossils. My neighbors have decided I'm nuts, I'm always picking up my rocks and examining them. :blushing:

Nikkos Tyris I realized about him afterwards.
Tyris This one I just found out about.
Tyriscorp As to them...
I picked the name originaly because it sounded slightly occult, probably thanks to my subconscious thinking of Nikkos.
