If you could change your DU name... what would it be?
sometimes I wonder if I should change my du name if the opportunity came along. I mean, I love Tom Waits' music, but...

I have no idea what I would choose for another name. I go through phases in which I'm more open about my i.d. online and then more private, so I wouldn't really want something that i.d.'ed me too precisely.

anyone else have a name they're waiting to use? Or a spare one hanging around?

1. Something California or San Francisco related
or Revolver66, in honor of the Beatles album.

20. lol..it all started with CreekDog's normal Rush bashing...
although he took a swipe at me yesterday, the sneaky sneak....
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7639568
then he annoyed DuStrange and so we wanted to get a picture to umm play with:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7639661
Since he didn't oblige:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7639964
Therefore he is now Creek Chicken...:rofl:

29. not Miss Disco? :)
Saw that was part of the blood line.

I rode horses all the time when I was a kid. I miss that now, but I'm not in a situation, like then, when I could walk out the door and ride. Nothing fancy, just quarter horses - like RETIRED barrel racing horses an appaloosa... just for riding out in the woods.

do you have horses?

30. naw, don't have horses
and oddly enough, the Ruffian / Foolish Pleasure match race was the first - and last - horse race I ever watched. I just thought she was strikingly elegant and beautiful - Ruffian really stood out - a gal who would not be defeated

47. do you have a pc?
did you download the latest version of shockwave for your OS? I'm not a pc user, so I don't know how to deal with that, other than making sure your shockwave version is up to date...

I knew you had that issue before, but now maybe I'll use peer pressure to get you to fix it.

but it said that it was incompatible with my OS.

I'm running XP SP2.

There must be another backgammon server we can use. I don't have this problem with any of the poker sites I frequent.

64. If it isn't already taken (which I think it was, which is why I chose this one.) I'd go with just
Tirade, rather than DarkTirade.

Or perhaps a variation on Stickman Limited as I do in many other places. Usually StickmanLtd is my SN of choice when I'm not using a variant of Tirade.
