The only reason I am Quislet, Esq. is because Quislet was taken. I was Quislet on the DC boards.
But I am glad now that my name here is not just the character's name.

quote:Originally posted by LardLad: When I chose "Lard Lad" as my MB name, I had totally forgotten about the character from the Simpson's donut shop, who in turn was a takeoff on Shoney's Big Boy.
Shoney's was only one of the Big Boy franchise names. In Florida it was Frisch's Big Boy and in Michigan it was Elias Brothers Big Boy. That one might still be around. I don't know any others off the top of my head.
Anyway, I use variations on "rockhopper" for a lot of things, because I like penguins. When I joined up here, I added the "Lad" in homage to the Legion, as many others have done. I now use "rockhopperlad" for a user name more often than not.

In one of my former jobs, a few of the workers would call me "robster"

Speaking of names, it's really annoying being a totally obscure underachiever and yet having the same first and last names as a local prominent business dynamo/do-gooder in your town-- who is not, in fact, related. Take if from me.

Could be worse. They could be a well-known chronic thief/scam artist.
Many of my namesakes seem to be in art or journalism (based on internet ramblings), fields I'm no stranger to myself. The closest to a well-known one is a Hollywood animator.

The only other person I've ever known with my same name was my late grandfather. I've seen Internet references to others, but don't know a thing about any.

On my father's side, half the men are named Anthony. On my mother's side there were a lot of Marys. Those, of course, are my parents' names.

So your real name is "Stinky Poopyhead" I presume.
