The Uncle prefix came about in 1981 when our only friend who had a kid added it for the benefit of his son. It's an optional extra but is often used, especially when I'm introduced to people for some reason. Respect I guess :wah:
Yeah...whatever :rolleyes:

I usually use names that have either mouse or Turtle in them, which of course have their meanings alone. But thought since this is a new Forum, never joined one before just to join a discussion board....

Midget is the name of the 'heroine in my head' when I used to daydream. She was kind of me - but was also all the things I wished I could be. The daydreams changed but the main charector never did
When I joined my first site a couple of years ago it was the obvious name to choose - and I finally had the chance to BE Her :wah:
Midget was already taken so added the 40 for my age - Yeah I know 40 is a bit old to still have imaginary friends but there you go...
Kept the name for consistency ever since

As I explained in another thread, I like to write poetry and short stories.
To kill 2 birds with one stone...
my avatar is a sculpture called The Fremont Bridge Troll located under a bridge in Seattle.
One of my favorite movies is 10 Things I Hate About You and this statue was in it.
So when I got a chance to go to Seattle, I told my friends that if I see nothing else, I want to see that.

Scholle is the name of the ' ghost' town where I was raised and still live . It was a real town up till the late 1940's when everyone moved to bigger towns ,because of the drought and depression and WW2. My family has a ranch here and my grand dad was postmaster of the post office that was in a corner our front room. I'm a 4Th generation Scholle kid..
