OK, so R*an the clueless now knows what those initials stand for ....

It reminded me of the guy nicknamed BJ on the tv show MASH, so I thought it was cute.

Hey brownie - re your definition - I wonder if that was a typo - I would think it would be "threshing", not "thrashing"!

Yeah, you're right, it's a minor difference, but I thought "Ru" looked cuter, tho. And that's interesting that it's "Ru" in Norwegian. I guess it's spelled more phonetically in non-English translations, because the sight joke of it being the last 3 letters of "kangaroo" probably doesn't translate into other languages. What's "kangaroo" in Norwegian?

And yeah, "sstar" still looks Nazi-ish. "Stun" was funny, tho!

What was your nickname, Falagar? I missed it, I think.

As for my nickname... I really don't care much what I'm called. As long as it abides by the rules of Entmoot.

And Ruinel - which do you like better - Ru or Rui?

Kangaroo is Kengeru in Norwegian (explains it).

Don't have many nick-names (Falagar is short enough for people to take the time to spell it), but lately people (read: Lal and Eowyn) have called me 'Fal'.

Would you like 'gar'?

< (on a quest to re-name every 'mooter! )

Speaking of usernames, the other day I heard the old song, '(Will You ) Meet me in the Middle' - it includes the words; "Sister Golden Hair Surprise"!! Now, I rarely 'lol', but I was definitely 'ctm'!!

we could call Falagar 'lag'. Or squish his name and call him 'fag'.

Not interested in the squished nick? hmmm... I wonder why? Sounds rather catchy if you ask me. But I suppose you've made up your mind and there's no changing it.

I like Fal, and we can call Valandil Val.
