Is there a worse poster name than BEFOREATHOUGHT at DU?
Edited on Fri Apr-09-04 11:55 PM by BEFOREATHOUGHT
I originally named myself BEFOREATHOUGHT as a drunk induced goof. Now that I have been around long enough to remember the DU 1 days, hindsight is seen through red-faced vision. Who has a worse poster name than BEFOREATHOUGHT? I also seem to be the only all-capital post name. :+

1. I think mine's worse -
It's dated - so noone understands it's meaning anymore. And, it doesn't suit me at all - even though it's true. (ie: proud democrat, and proud rat, circa 1972)

7. Schwannzeichen!
Schwannzeichen is a name to conjure with, a name so long
It's several stanzas in a lengthy song.
To walk from end to end takes a lot of hikin'
You can ride all day, on the Ranch Schwannzeichen!

To write it as a kid, took me weeks to learn
Before my 'A+' in penmanship I'd earn.
On the other hand, I like to snicker and bounce
With glee as others attempt to pronounce! :)

It's "Shh!" as in Dr. Evil's words to his son Scott
Then "Wan" as in Kenobi, or how you feel when you're too hot
A "sigh" of regret, or sorrow after loss,
Or a "zeichen" (rhymes with lichen, a hardy type of moss).

But as for a handle, it suits me just dandy
Schwannzeichen, Mark of the Swan, translated, comes in handy.
But I try to say it softly, for when it's shouted out just right...
Too many people answer with a heartfelt "Gesundheit!"

Schwannzeichen

9. That's the best thing I have read ALL WEEK!
Edited on Sat Apr-10-04 12:43 AM by BostonTeaParty04
Thank you. Is that a family poem that has been passed down?

In reply to the original post: I like your handle. But now that I know it doesn't really mean anything, well, uh... I see your point! LOL I thought it meant something really deep.

As for MY handle - it is one of the best. Why? Because it is time to drop some teabags in the Boston Harbor. It is past time. I will personally throw in the first bag o tea, figuratively speaking.

8. Hey, I'm All Caps Too
REP - which is pronounced "are - ee - pee" - are my initials, not my political affiliation. I'm REP in real life as well, and didn't consider that it could be misconstrued as a word ("rep") or party.

11. At least people can pronounce it and know what the hell it means
