If that doesn't work I've got a fairly rare motorcycle so guzzis3 is the next option. If all else fails I expand that to motoguzzi750S3, fortunately only had to use that once or twice. There were about 930 S3's built and I probably know half the owners in the world so...

Wow!
The last motorcycle I owned was a moto Guzzi 750S3.
I sold it in 1980.

I wasn't quite sure if this was an artesan's observation or a social comment:wink:.Quote:

Just as an aside, did you know that the aforementioned South American country, which also contains the largest river in the world, is bigger than Australia: Bigger by quite a bit too?
"Bushmiller" comes from the time when I ran a portable sawmilling business. I had two saws and the bandsaw was a "Bushmill" made by John Laidlaw.
There.. all quite wholesome and above board (Pun, sorry.)

Well I certainly misconstrued Bushmiller - I thought it meant someone who drinks Bushmill's (a brand of whisky - possibly Irish?) :wink:
As for mine......
Labr@ is pronounced Labrat (I had to use the alternative spelling because the “proper” one was taken)
The reason I chose it is one of the following, see if you can guess which:
a) I am a small, pointy nosed individual who likes doing mazes and has a penchant for sharp cheeses.
b) I worked in an industrial laboratory for 25 years, where I was conditioned to respond to a buzzer by rushing out through a door, collecting a sample and returning to the lab. The positive reinforcement was a pay packet once a week, the negative was being shouted at for stopping production.
c) I’m a brat from Los Angeles.

If you guessed A then you did well! :2tsup:
Although not as well as if you had chosen B, which is the correct answer :p - but A is pretty close :U
Oh, and C is right out! :no:
Nicely put and an ingenious method of spelling. I am trying to decide whether George Bernard Shaw, who was a protagonist of phonetic spelling, would approve or disapprove:?.Quote:

I've had a heap of nicknames over the years and all of them have been bestowed by others. I have nick names for my children and only I use them.
Twisted Tenon is the first nick name I have had that I have selected. It suits my warped sense of humour:U
To be honest I thought Bushmiller was a "miller of the bush". However, even that statement can be misconstrued. Brazilian anyone?. So to work out what you meant I Googled "Bushmiller" and came up with this: Ernie Bushmiller, American Cartoonist who authored the 'Nancy' comics. Anyone, who lives in Australia (at least) knows what a Nancy is. So sorry Bushy, I've plumbed the depths of wholesomeness and came up with a couple of different interpretations.Quote:

Went to a 60s/70s style New Years Eve party once. I dressed up in 70s gear with an afro wig. I quickly became named Afro Boy.
The name kind of stuck which is amusing because I have no hair, let alone an afro!
Originally thought that Master of the Universe not really a good forum name. So I ended up using Christos.
Pretty much the same thing. :roflmao:
You mean there are people who don't get the red shirt reference????Quote:

I prefered William Shatner reborn as Denny Crane. A less plastic if not entirely wholesome character:wink:.
But....I do understand the reference now. Thanks to RedShirtGuy.
