Do you like that run? I used to have the Price run. I liked that except for when I fell asleep at the wheel. <--- That is not so fun! 😲

I am a better person for having Czar Jake for a former-uniform-of-mine wearer. Fabuloso.

PS - I'm sorry if it still smells like me!

I didn't get Czar's post originally, but that is a pretty dang funny story!! :D

...And this one's a scary story! 😲

[Neil]

I chose Neil because my real name is Delvin, and I didn't like people calling me that.

[Deweyville]

Mine is the name of my hometown.
Reps to anyone who has actually been there (You don't count, Hiba)

[clarette]

The system wouldn't take "ornery old beeeeeyotch" as a username.

Oh.

Seriously, though, I picked my name because we were supposed to be claret, and I'm a chick. I go by many, many names, on many different boards.

Why didn't you choose Grifter? When I looked up your book on Amazon I ran into that handle. Do you go by that on other forums?

[BroncsBomber]

My first foray into the addictive realm of message boards was for the Boise State Broncos. I am an alumni and complete addict of the Broncos. However Real Salt Lake has now diversified my wardrobe from primarily blue and orange and now I mix in some Real gear and whatever colors that those entail. (I'm a guy so I don't know what a clarette is, if it isn't listed in the 8 colors of a crayola box then I don't know it...)

Ooooh, well that's easy to fix. Just get a bigger box of Crayons! Then you'll see me in there, too. I come in two varieties: burnt and raw. Take your pick!

I go by that on other forums, but they usually involve computer security. For instance, the Defcon Forums where I'm an administrator. I mostly use that name when I'm dealing specifically with computer hacking, and since that didn't apply here, I didn't use it.

The reason that it's on the cover of the book is because most people know me as Grifter, online and in person. I can honestly say that more people worldwide know me as Grifter instead of Neil. But I figured I was writing a book and I should probably have my real name on it.

That's totally cool.
