Not going to explain my screen name because I wish to remain as anon as possible . In truth, just a silly name chosen almost randomly after I looked up my first choice in a dictionary and realized that it didn't mean what I thought it meant.

I wish we could change our names on FT without losing our past-post history and of course, , access to Omni.

I bet ole "Shorty" (PSUhorty) also wishes that he could change his name after finding out we all thought he's referring to an anatomical issue .

I'm surprised it didn't make the 'top ten threads' thread.

Make that 11, unless someone posts before I do.

I like to fly and I have trouble hearing anything except old DC9's before Stage III requirements went into effect.

LOL I don't know which way to take that... (Hmm... probably all the sinning I did at the DO gave away it wasn't...)

Well obviously, my name is Denver and I live in Brian.

Oh, and add me to the thousands of FTers everywhere who allowed their eyes to trick them all these years. I swear, I thought it was PSUShorty...and that turkeys could fly.

Thought a thread where those who choose to could explain their screen names.

I thought it meant "ceviche" in some lost language. Cue O/H.

Would you rather we were all illiterate, or that we all assumed you meant "PSUshorty" but hadn't gotten it down correctly?

As for me, my handle is an old poker nickname (my friends noticed I had an uncanny ability to end up with five cards of the same suit). Has nothing to do with plumbing fixtures, contrary to popular belief.
