What is your name?

[Art]

I remember being at Dover during the 1989 Nascar season where Dick Trickle usually ran pretty good (I don't think he was ever better than 5th or so, but did make ROTY). The announcer used to get a kick out of saying, "Look at that Dick Trickle", whenever he passed someone.

Dick had the distinction of being the only driver who smoked during caution laps, had a hole drilled in his helmet for a cigarette, and the only car in Nascar with a cigarette lighter installed (well, it WAS the Winston Cup then).

A friend of mine and his two brothers were named Tom, Dick, and Harry in that order, not Thomas, Richard, and Harold.

Crystal - if you think that's a tough name combo: when I worked at a community college there was a man with your married last name, and his first name was Harry. God honest truth. What parent does that?

(It that's too adult of a bit of humor, mods feel free to delete it...)

[yaklady]

Kathy is my given name, and eveybody still calls me that, so I may as well stick with it. I could go by Kathleen, but no one would know who the heck that is.

When I joined Leatherworker, I was at the mercy of Johanna and ClayB, who knew I had just butchered a very angry yak bull. The two of them began taunting me for the cruel act, and I quickly became a yak murderer. Well, the rest of the world knows how wonderful and sweet I am, so the word "murderer" just didn't fit. I am as perfect as perfection goes, so I had to stay with a name that fit. Be sides, this way I can show off my baby yaks and no one questions it or complains!

[shotgunwilllie]

well My name is William, most people call me Bill except for one certain person on here that is more formal (and I see she hasnt explained her handle on here yet!) as for the screen name one of my passions is collecting antique shotguns and from a very dear friend that passed away that allways called me Willie the 3rd "L" is a typo that I have left on for the hell of it.

Kathy does indeed embody sweetness, goodness, and light. And she's a quiet one. Like all the best axe murderers.

Or Yak-murderers.

I have many names (most of which suggest I'm in constant search for free food), and often misspell my own name "charley" (sorry, Mom).

In High School I was known as "Bullsh*tter Bay" because I could speak endlessly on any topic, never saying anything, but never repeating myself. It's really a handy skill.

It's my long-term goal to be Vice President.

Most of the time, though, I actually know if I'm full-of-it (which is also most of the time).

[CitizenKate]

I might have guessed that. It reminds me of the German word for snow, which is schnee (pronounced shnay). Interesting story, and nice to meet you. For that matter, ALL of you.

Kate

PS: I'm Kate.

My name actually came from taunting I used to get as a kid. Thanks to genetics and nocturnal proclivities, I was never one to tan and get color and all. So the kids in my neighborhood took to calling me 'Snowman', 'Snow White', 'Frosty', etc. As I got into my mid-teens and discovered punk rock, I decided to take the moniker as a badge of sorts. And just to make sure that I wouldn't run into someone with the same name, I did a little creative spelling to make it unique. The name stuck and I went for a number of years with 'Schno' as a nickname. Finally, I decided to make it legal once my mother started calling me by it.

[pavilionpony]

My name is Cindy. Pavilionpony comes from back in 2000 when I set up my ebay account. I happend to be working at a place called Pavilion Title at the time. One day in the office we were all talking about an ebay name and everyone decided that should be mine, so it stuck.

Nice to meet you

[Clay]

When I joined LW I was not quick witted enough to think up a cool nick name. So I am Clay. Clay is the name I go by but it is actually my middle name only my mom and sister call me by my given first name and they are the only ones who don't get yelled at if they do.. As I have grown I am less bothered by my given name but it is too late to change back now, I have also been known by the alias Bert from the early episodes of the Bert and Ernie Show withe my good friend ClayB being Ernie...

ClayM.

[Gremlin]

My given name is Curtis. The handle Gremlin came about when I was a young, short, mischievous, prankster. Now, my wife says I'm just a dirty old runt that lives in the doghouse.
