Topic: First name basis

Hey guys, was just thinking I've been on this forum for a little while and I don't know a lot of your first names! If you would rather be comfortable with me referring to your forum name that's fair enough and I will, but if you don't mind; fire away and list your real name (maybe even a little blurb about yourself if you wish), would love to get to know y'all better!!

Peace from Aus,

- Stefan

Re: First name basis

My first name is actually Arisotlepopadopalousarchimedeswinstonponsonbywilloughbysmythe III.

No, actually, my handle on here IS my first name... as you already well know Stefan! lol

On other forums, my handle is actually 'CyberFerret', but because this board had more of a 'family' feel, I resorted to using my REAL first name on here.

Which also means I had to behave! big_smile

Re: First name basis

Yeah I know Stefan.

I'll go ones step further and say I even tend to envision people as their avatars. For the longest time I though Wammbarro was Jimmy Page because of his! Also nice to have a picture with the name too. -Seth

Re: First name basis

Too funny Gary!!

OK....I'll play. My real name is Guy. I was given the nickname "Guido" when I lived in Toronto as a young lad in an Italian neighborhood. In actuallity, I'm British by birth although I have lived in California for the last 45 years. If you really care, you can see pics of me fishing in some previous posts.

And no........my avatar is NOT my latest dental work！

Why don't we eliminate all the warning labels and let things sort themselves out?

Re: First name basis

Usually when somebody I don't really know asks for my name, my immediate response is "Ralph".  And for that matter, I don't use my first name, even IRL.  Plus, there's a forum member who's login is the same as my middle name, so could get a bit confusing.  The reference might be a bit before your time, but I'm reminded of the Monty Python skit about the University of Wallamaloo:  http://videosift.com/video/Monty-Python … department

On a more serious note, you do realize each member has a profile, right?  Generally, those that wish to share more information will use them to do that.

Not to be a wet blanket, but this thread could get pretty large, if every forum member chose to respond.  Let alone the Bonametal ones.

I do appreciate your desire to be friendly.

Play like you've worked at it, and don't worry about sounding like your influences.  You can't cheat on them, or your practice, anyway.  If you've worked hard at your skill, your audience will know it.
