Where does your user name come from?
A pseudo Spanish-Russian endearment of my husband's celebrating my (pre-diet) progressively expanding weight. Even though now I am (somewhat) thinner, the name remained stuck. (I call him worse things sometimes so I guess "all's fair in love.") Ok...where is that dear, steroid-turntable-owner, Mr. Psychicanimal? Natalia |
And we have a winner Rgd, I wish I could give you a price but my 7.50/hr. job wont budge. Sorry for the delayed response, since I dont have a computer at home I'm stuck using the ones at work when everybody's gone home. Thanks Rel, I found the reference in the documentary "Grass", showcasing America's "war on drugs" Funny bloopers of Nixon doing some anti-drug announcements! |
I have worked as a truck driver for a welding supply for 20+ years I feed our branch stores with cylinders (oxygen,acytelene,argon,nitrous oxide and no you can`t get any ext. ext.) my haulout is between 250 to 350 cylinders, about the same on my haulback a day. After 20 years thats alot of DAMMMM cylinders. David |
Hey, Rgd, you really nailed that obscure lyric!! "No flies on you!" (as one of my Aussie friends is fond of saying). However, Colitas' explanation did pique my curiosity, never having been quite sure of exactly what the lyric was, nor what it meant, for that matter. A little checking turned up this illuminating explanation courtesy of Cecil of "The Straight Dope." Colitas is little tails, but here the author is referring to 'colas,' the tip of a marijuana branch, where it is more potent and with more sap (said to be the best part of the leaves)." We knew with an instant shock of certainty that this was the correct interpretation. The Eagles, with the prescience given only to true artists, were touting the virtues of high-quality industrial hemp! And to think some people thought this song was about drugs. For the full story see The Straight Dope which also references that great misheard Beatles lyric: "The girl with colitis goes by." |
Thank you for your kind words Slipknot1. My deepest sympathies for your tragic loss of such a young companion. I thought I'd share this parable with you (and others who may have had to face a similar loss) that gave us some comfort: "In my dream I noticed two sets of prints in the sand, one was mine, the other my dog's. But in times of trouble there was only one set, mine. I asked my dog why he would leave me in bad times, and he replied, "My dear master, I love you and would never leave you, when you saw only one set, it was then that I was off protecting you." Keep your strength. Marco |
Some turkey had already taken "Jax" though never seems to use the site (one transaction and no discussion at all. Member since 01'). I had the brilliant notion to add the '2'. Jax is my beloved American Staffordshire Terrier of just over 13 years who only just passed away on 6/9/03. Her death leaves my family and many of our friends and neighbors with heavy hearts . I am very grateful to have shared 13 wonderful years with her! Jax 3.6.90 - 6.9.03 Marco |
I'm a chemist/molecular biologist and in the lab I use pipete aids for liquid transfers. These are made by Gilson and called pipetmans. Sort of a no-brainer to make a moniker out of it, although it's somewhat (hopelessly?) geekish. Actually, I was quite intrigued to learn, that Subaruguru - one of the regulars here - actually developed these things. |
When I listen to soothing classical music, I close my eyes and think of enchanting natural settings like the redwood forests of California. This is very much like ET's ride at Universal Studios in Florida. If you have ever walked along that dark path in ET's forest and seen the all the redwood trees and ferns, you'll know how I came up with my user name. Hokey, of course, but helps me forget what's on the news. By the way, I brought back redwood and Giant Sequoia seedlings from California for my back yard. One redwood is now 35 feet high. |
I seem to have missed the start of this thread. .......nothing too original-- Garland is my last name and in college I was often called "Gar" or "Garfish". So it was just a nickname from long ago that I sort of liked-- brings back fond memories. BTW, the gar, or garfish is a fast, fierce, predatory fish of central U.S. Great post by Onhwy61-- one of MY favorite Audiogon names. Cheers. Craig |

I just checked up on this thread again, and Loose, I just about feel over after reading your response, I think I went out with her for a while too :) Come on where are some of the other guys that post a lot around here Redkiwi, TOK2000, Muralman, Psychichanimal, and many more - Some of us are still curious critters! |
