But it can also refer to vacuum tubes, as in amplifiers. AND the Outer Limits episode "Demon With a Glass Hand" was written by Harlan Ellison, one of my favorite authors.
'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman"

I had wondered about your name now and then.

I could swear we had same subject going not long ago, or am I time-traveling?
Doc... where is Marty??
I know we did it on the old board. I don't recall it here before. However, that doesn't mean it didn't happen. :D

Apparently the editor really wanted to cut the title to just "Repent, Harlequin!", feeling that the original was too long and weird, but Ellison insisted, and I think time proved him right.

And you never know, my name could have been George Leo Asshand. :lol:

Ellison was absolutely right. As soon as I saw the title I was hooked and had to read it. LOL at your coulda-been name!

I stole the Full On from a guitarist named Toshi Iseda's album "Full On". I added the "Shred" because I love shred guitar.

If you like Instrumetal Shred Guitar I suggest checking out Toshi's "Full On" album if you never have.

Custer's Last Groove is one of my favorite cuts from that one.

Mine is just my initials twice, No thought went into it. Not "a dad". I have 4 kids so I guess I qualify as a dad.

Mine is one I've had going back to the AOL days. Bleys is a reference to Prince Bleys of Amber, from Roger Zelazny's books, and 21 is my birthday.

Tom Waits fan. Since we are talking literary names here, I started to use Jake Stonebender, from the Spider Robinson Callahan series. Raindog is just easier to type.

I'm named after an artist formerly known as Tonray. I don't have my own androgenous symbol though...or even own any purple pants

Spike is a nickname I was dubbed with in my first band back when I was about 13. 3/4s of us still get together and jam and we still refer to each other by our nicknames.
