Re: What is behind your username?
There's not much to my username. One of my names might be hidden within my username (oooh, so tricky, so secretive, so thoughtful and intellengent, PM!). However I cannot confirm nor deny this. Should I reveal all the secrets I might have to get out one of those zappy things from Men in Black and erase all your memories.
Just an alter-ego silly made up name really, that while is a very real name for someone out there in the world, just made me laugh when I first went through the painstakingly long inventive process of coming up with such a complicated name.

Not that anyone asked me, but if I were to choose my username today, I might go with Wordy Gilmore. Happy Gilmore could drive but not putt; I can read and listen but not speak or write (very well, yet).

Tumlare is the Swedish word for porpoise, which is the only cetacean that is regularly found in the Baltic Sea.

Maybe it's simply because I was 15 in 1996 and thus have unreasonably fond memories of that movie, but this set me to laughing alone in my hotel room like a nutter. Thank you!

Re: What is behind your username?
presumably, I was just wishing to think or consider myself like an English person or wanted to learn how it was if I was being called with an English name.

Re: What is behind your username?
My mother calls me Mick sometimes. I usually, but not always, use that name in online forums. When I joined HTLAL, I added 33 because there was another person using Mick on that forum and 33 was my age then.
