^^^^ Roger the cabin boy, Master Bates and seaman Stains jumped ship and are now aboard the good ship Venus.

We don't have any of that debauched misbehaviour on the Black Pig. It's nothing but clean sea air and jaunty sea shanties for my crew. Razz

I was once Hans 0lo's accountant, Ca1vin Rissian, and I've been banker and dollar-chopper Jack Reacher (that name's from the Lee Child novels).

Yes, I remember that one! Unfortunately the bait didn't get very far... Sad

My Eater "handle" comes from an experience that I had... Laughing

^^It happens to the best of us.

Mine was from a RL experience. A co-worker and I were driving back home from a job and we were flagged over by a guy in a white truck (never trust anyone in a white truck btw). I thought I had a flat tire or something and a good Samaritan was trying to warn me. So the guy pulls over with us and as we get out of our car he starts yelling at us. He said we flipped him off and the dude is totally pissed. Well he was a scrawny bastard (about what I picture SOOI looks like) so I wasn't too intimidated. The guy starts saying he is a police officer and he has called the highway patrol we need to stay there. So I asked him to show me his badge. He whips out a ID which I inspect. It was a military ID. I told him I'm not a terrorist and walked away. He started screaming at me saying he was a MP and part of Bravo95. The dude went totally crazy yelling Bravo95 at us. We drive off while he was still yelling at us. To this day I have no idea what he thought he saw us do. I completely support the US military but just like everywhere else a few nuts slip through the cracks. When I joined eater I realized everyone here was crazy to half crazy so I decided to use bravo95 to remind me of where all the nuts go when they fall through the crack.

I chose my handle here because I love Lord of the Rings. As for my baiting names, all of my baiting characters are named after comic book characters. It keeps them from being "silly" in the sense that the lad might get suspicious, but it still makes me laugh.

I have a common name but in my signature line I throw a curveball

Dr. Frank Drachman
Chairman, Oral Proctology, <Some Hospital Name Here>

My eater-name comes from Mary Poppins. "A piecrust-promise, that is one that is easily made, and just as easily broken."

Baiting names I draw from all over the place, people I've met, great literature even James Bond films - never been called on any of them - not even the now defunct Christian Surname I made up in a hurry when I needed an account quickley.

^^I bet the dentist at the hospital is pretty anal, too. Do you work fart or pull time?

I created a 65 year old newly retired woman because I heard they were prime targets. The other one I use is a middle aged man who works a lot but is a little gullible (especially for the romance scams).

I like TS Elliot.

....that's a lie and has nothing to do with my name, but what the heck. Laughing

What we do here accentuates the fact that there are two kinds of people in the world - a recurrent line from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly".

Well, I've wondered what it is all about and would like to know...

So TS, what's the real meaning...? Wink

My eater name and avatar are a tribute to a character on LOST, John Locke, which is a character I may use in future baits. He was called box man from another person because he once worked in a box factory.

When I signed up I found myself under the gun to decide on a name I haven't ever used on the net. For some reason the the Big Al joke came to mind. Here I am......

The joke goes something like:
St Pete is standing at the pearly gates one day.
He asks the next person in line "Why are you dead?".
The person answers "I died from the big "C"'.
St Pete asks "The big "C"?".
The person says "Cancer".
St Pete lets them in.

He asks the next person in line the same question.
She says "I died from the big "D"."
St Pete asks "The big "D"?'.
"Diptheria" the lady says.
St Pete lets her in.

He asks the next lady in line "What did you die of?"
She answers "The big "G".
"The big "G"?" St Pete asks.
The lady answers "Ghonnoreha (sp)".
St Pete says "You can't die from Ghonnoreha!"
The lady answers "You can when you give it to Big Al!"

Thus endeth the lesson.

My forum name came from a band I happened to be listening to when I signed up.

That band wouldn't happen to be "Firehouse" would it? And the song wouldn't happen to be "Overnight Sensation" or "All She Wrote" would it? Very Happy

^^^ I suspect he is a fan of the Dixieland jazz band of the same name.

After lurking and taking it all in...my first step will be my first character.
I'm looking at a few options maybe TV character first name with Spanish animal last name. Dexter Bogavante...anyone.

Foreign language names are good, one of my current characters is named Goat Abuser in German, I am aiming to get a Mugu to an airport to meet me, with a sign with my 'name' on it at around the time a plane from Germany arrives. Twisted Evil

Topic misunderstood. Please erase.

I don't think they were looking for any of your bait names. Hopefully, you aren't presently using any of those. You might remove them ASAP if you are.

(That'll be two more cents please, WU of course)

Dude... that's 3 by my count.

You've been hangin' round lads too much and it's incapacitated your math mechanism.
