what does your username stand for?
« on: January 09, 2009, 02:37:51 PM »
Initially my user name (or nickname, whatever appears above your picture) was "bald mathematician".   But then I figured out the 2nd word is too long to write.  Some of you called me bald math or b math.   The only person who called me SBG Math Guy was Howard (Head Bald Guy).   I thought it was a great one and have changed it to that.   SBG stands for sly bald guys, Math Guy because I feel I'm really good at math & it was the subject that made me feel special as a kid when I had a hard time with reading & writing (I still do lol).
What does your username stand for? Cheers.

Brkeatr - Bark Eater  .....Is an English translation of the Mohican word " Adirondack" ( the Adirondack mountains in upstate NY )  it is a term the Mohawk once used for Algonquian speaking tribes who were said to eat the inside of the bark of the white pine when food was scarce.  The Adirondacks where given their name in 1838.

Mine doesn't stand.  It sort of rests on its ear.

Mine is a shortened form of my "nom du Mardi Gras!"  A name adopted when we had to start a system for making sure the people at our house were in fact our friends during the parade season, the last ten days of Carnival, culminating in Mardi Gras. 

Interesting about "Adirondack" we spent a weekend recently in upstate New York, it is where my employer's home office is located and we went for the Xmas Party.  That was professional grade cold.  We spent one day driving around and got into the edges of the the mountains.  Really pretty, but long winters aren't my thing.  I'm already happy that we're having days in the mid-70s.  The party was much better than eating any bark I can promise you.

Hammerdrill is a tool we occassionally use in performing termite treatments to access soil under slab foundations. 376 is part of an old address I previously had...so hence

Mine is my name    The reason for having 2 m's in it?? God only knows....  actually my full name is Joseph Timothy but when I was in HighSchool someone misprinted my full name as Timothy Joseph so everyone started calling me Timmy Joe.  That name has stuck for the last 23 years or so.  Its funny when I am out somewhere and I hear the name Timmy Joe being hollered out I automatically know that it is a former classmate.  My family doesnt call me by that name.  My family calls me respectfully by saying Your Highness
