'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman"glasshand wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 3:00 pm It has a triple meaning. I used to do a lot of photography, back when I first registered, and "glass" is slang for camera lenses. 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.
I had wondered about your name now and then.

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.PoodlesAgain wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 4:36 pm Back in the 90s a fellow on a motorcycle list had a sig file that read: "When poodles roamed the Earth", and I just liked it (without knowing the actual literary reference) , so I adopted "Poodles" and variations.
I could swear we had same subject going not long ago, or am I time-traveling?
Doc... where is Marty??

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.fullonshred wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 12:31 pm 'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman"

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

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!glasshand wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 12:44 pmApparently 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.fullonshred wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 12:31 pm 'Repent, Harlequin!'

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.

Well, I could explain it but I won't. But I could. But I won't. But I could.

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

Well, I'm a Christian who teaches high school history. In the early days Christians were known as "believers". Just a way to share a little faith...

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.
