I was thinking older lady who likes younger WSU men......maybe 05 as the year you first bagged one
Mine is a very old screen name we used for our first email account (Anne is my wife and RJ is me). Probably better screen names out there for me but I'm lazy and stick with this one.

but thats not the source of the nickname. I signed up somewhere long ago, and my ID was taken and they suggested James318. 3/18 is my sisters birthday, so it just kinda stuck.
(oh, and yes... I am James)

Slpybear is just a shortened version of my nickname... sleepy bear.
The nickname has a good story behind it. I used to be involved reaaalllly heavy into Civil War Reenacting. Back in 1995 I was up at a reenactment at Franklin Tennessee. The group of Texas Reenactors I was with was spending the weekend going "Hard Core" i.e. spend the weekend like the soldiers back then would have. Everything you had for the three days you carried on your back. Saturday night we stayed in some trenches and it got down to 19°F that morning. Just before we all crashed I was standing around chatting by a big campfire. I was wearing a big, long coat and wearing a nightcap to keep my head warm. One of my friends pointed at me and said, "Man, you look just like that big sleepy bear on the Travelodge Sign just off I-35 in Temple,TX!"
The name stuck like glue. I've been Sleepy Bear ever since to my friends. Of course, on my ISP I only get 8 characters... so... slpybear.
