Some are obvious, some are not.
If you had to choose another what would it be ?
Mine is boring. It's a nickname from back in the day.
If I had to pick another one it would be
HankMarducas.
What does it all mean?
I've always considered yours to be puzzling, intriguing.
shareNothing intriguing about me.
Maybe I should have stayed a mystery.
I always wondered about yours.
" Nothing intriguing " about you but "maybe" you " should have stayed a mystery ? " Do you have any idea of how contradictory that comes across ?
shareIt's a Tuesday and its pouring rain.
What are you gonna do ?
Ok, now this is cryptic to me. I'm just gonna keep on keeping on until bedtime.
shareFair enough.
I thought maybe I gained back my puzzling and intriguing rep.
Maybe that's not the case.
Uh, okay....so is this a Mexican standoff ?
shareNot exactly purposely.
This is more of me having way too much time on my hands.
You were warned about my sense of humor.
So does it mean "Go Dewey"?
shareI would have never been able to separate his name out like that. For some reason my mind goes to the first actual word that can be spelled out by the entire word and that was "God". I would then be looking at the "Ewey" part.
shareSame here. I did that for the longest time until I really looked at it one day and was like ok, maybe it's go Dewey cuz god ewey made absolutely no sense at all lol.
shareIt took me a while too, because I kept seeing god-ewey! I was also thinking it sounded like an old Norse or Aruthurian name you would pronounce "goh-daway".
"And yea, the brothers Godwin and Godewey rode through the forest to the King."
Only recently I realized oh...."Go Dewey!" [laugh]
It took me a while too, because I kept seeing god-ewey! I was also thinking it sounded like an old Norse or Aruthurian name you would pronounce "goh-daway".
Cat you are absolutely priceless.
Who knew, I could have been a Norse legend.
I haven't seen you in awhile.
You were missed.
I thought it looked familiar! That's probably what I was thinking of, lol. I really need to get around to reading the original King Arthur; I've always wanted to.
shareHaha.
Maybe it should be god ewey because it makes no sense.
People tell me I make no sense all the time.
God ewey makes me think of a reaction to something icky -- "Um, sorry, my monitor lizard just pooped all over your rug... "
"God! Eweeeey!!!!"
Um, that's my name.
What's up with that ?
I love how you not only picked a lizard but a monitor lizard and
it pooped all over "your" rug.
Like you took it with you to a dinner party.
You guys are great.
Mine is a shortened version of Somewhat Slightly Dazed.I had various versions of it on IMDb.
It is a favourite David Bowie track.
Spy, Spy, pretty girl
you see me through your window
I also love that song.
Nice.
I'm a phallus in pigtails and there's blood on my nose.
I remember listening to that song over and over as kid.
Trying to figure out what the heck he was talking about
with some of his lyrics.
Good memories.
Ha! I did too,I used to love it when an LP came with the lyrics in the sleeve.Then I'd try to decipher the meaning.It was either that or tape a song from the radio,listen,rewind until I'd got all the lyrics (or something like them!)
I later heard that Bowie used to cut up strips of paper with words on and randomly select them for some of his songs,I was a bit gutted!
I did the exact same thing. I would sit by the radio and record songs.
Then of course stop it when the song was over and just wait until the
next one. Hoping it was one I liked. If it wasn't and I started to record
I would quickly have to rewind and play until I got the end of the previous
song. The things we did...
Nooooo. I will never believe he did that.
That can't be true. I am crushed.
Next you'll tell me that Pink Floyd isn't a real person.
Haha! I used to get really annoyed with the DJ if they talked over the end of the song,not sure if you're in the UK but Peter Powell was the worst.I have kept some of those old tapes,some of them are like 40 Years old and only interesting to me😕😕
Listening to Radio Caroline under the covers on my transistor with one ear plug was another thing.
Pink Floyd isn't but Manfred Mann is...so there is that.
I'm from across the pond. We had our share of DJ's who
did the same thing. Very annoying.
I wish I would have kept my tapes. I used to record TV shows too.
I didn't know that about Manfred Mann.
Then I looked it up. That was almost painfully obvious.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of my favorite band name stories.
He actually just died not to long ago.
I think my husband,he's a Lynyrd fan, has told me this,was it Leonard Skinner a teacher or something?
I was just watching an old documentary about Steely Dan and they were talking about Aja and how it was an amalgamation of three songs they were playing around with and that they just hit it lucky! I'm like but...but..
Yes, he was gym teacher that actually suspended a couple
of the band members.
Haha.
You have too many of these stories. You're going to
destroy my image of these artists.
I will forever believe that everything they did is because
they were relaying the deep dark mysteries of life.
Ha ha! Sorry.
Forget I said anything.I think the meaning is in the eye of the beholder anyway!
Aw! I remember this conversation!
Weirdly and coincidentally I was listening to Radio Caroline this morning! Still transmitting from a boat.
So nice to see Leia, April, Prelude before....😵
Arvin before...😵😫ðŸ˜
Had to bump it for old times sake.
Damn am I ever glad to see one of your fun threads resurrected to the top , godewey ! Too much troll activity been going on.
shareThanks.
I agree. seems like maybe this is the second invasion.
Ok, in order to keep it going, I'll finally answer the question in your thread topic.
When I became excited about joining the site, I was simultaneously watching a History Channel special about D.B. Cooper so I hastily conjured a username based on that.
Sigh, my mystique just vanished but his continues .....
Finally... thank you.
You're mystique just vanished but at least you
can be happy that I can finally get some sleep tonight.
I won't have to stay up wondering what your name meant.
It's still mysterious.Who is D.B Cooper?
No don't tell me...let it remain forever a mystery.
