Thread: Why is your Username/Nickname?

"In the weeds" or "in deep weeds" is a common waiter's expression for being task-saturated.

I haven't waited tables for many years now, but I am still quite frequently in Deep Weeds!

Simple. My name is Mark Kelly and I have a big...er... nose.

Big nose was also my old squddie nickname and a few of my mates still call me it.

There is a character created by the late Terry Pratchett called Dibbler, a "businessman" who protests if pushed that he is " cutting me own throat" Hence sometimes known as CMOT Dibbler. I'm no businessman but do like Pratchett and thought CMOT was a likely outcome when I got into this game. Up to now at least I was wrong.

In my early internet forum days I used to always go by PureXTC & then Prohibited Substance
So now I just drop the Prohibited & go by Substance or Substance71 which is my old race number

this not to be mistaken for Lutetium with the Atomic Number:71 from the Periodic Table of Elements
which also sums me up pretty good LOL
I Quote from the table of elements

Lutetium is one of the most difficult elements to prepare and has no large scale practical uses

yep that's me

Mine comes from two of my favorite hobbies. Dusty from woodworking - I mostly create a lot of sawdust, and Suds from homebrewing. Combined makes for a lot of Dusty Suds.

Get enough dust from rain forest woods and that may be a very true tense.

Man, I thought you were just into old shave soaps!

In the days between dialing into Bulletin Board Systems and hitting the early days of the internet. My friends and I were fans of the Highlander TV show.. one of the antagonists in an episode was named Kanwulf. I thought it sounded pretty good, but didn't realize it had a different spelling. Needless to say.. the incorrect spelling stuck.
