Your Nickname on Red Hot Pawn
If you knew everything you know now about Red Hot Pawn on the day you joined, would you still have chosen your site nickname of record? If not, what other nicknames would you have considered and why? In July, 2007, mine would have become "Boston Lad" ( the same as my "Self Proclaimed Title" in Forum Settings for reasons I'll mention next post).

I also have been known to use Skipjames (Skip James) and Firk after my main guitar teach, Mike Stewart AKA Backwards Sam Firk (his initials are M. A. S. SAM spelled backwards, so Backwards Sam, then Tom Hoskins AKA FANG, one day added Firk and from then on it was Backwards Sam Firk. RIP. Also Tom Hoskins, RIP. Their big claim to fame was the rediscovery of Mississippi John Hurt. One of Johns records from the 1920's was 'Avalon Blues' where he said Avalon is my home. So they perused old maps of Mississippi and finally found one with Avalon on it and they went down there and lo and behold, found him, he had been employed as a cotton picker for decades after the bust of the first blues run, which basically died in 1929, after the stock crash. So there he was, they brought John Hurt back to Firk's home in Potomac Md where he stayed for 3 months and then went national.

what other nicknames would you have considered?
relevant to the day's news or absurdities,

Schlecter because no one knows this great chess GM.... Karl Schelecter, he was a contender against Lasker in 1910.
(Cue joke about Besser being gut, but Schlechter being besser.)
