Lacking the creative artistry and experience to know better I used my initials.
I may in time change it to Lunar Ray as a parallel to Moon Beam. With his permission, of course.

I couldn't be more flattered.

Also it could take some fo the pressure off me. It might subject me less frequently to the title, Loonbeam or Loony. You'll have to steel yourself for that. Someone of your obvious insight, I mean obvious to me of course and too precious few others, will certainly hear that alot. :D

I have a hayabusa, and I ride it.

As I recall, I signed up here just after a great ride. Had to come up with something, and that is what popped into my head.

Edit- yeah, because it was during a rare winter warm spell

I am really into Lord of the Rings and much prefer Gandalf over pretty much any other character in the books. However, when I game the user names on the Zone can only be so long so I shortened Gandalf's Elvish name from Mithrandir down to Mith. Also, it rhymes with myth and I like that.

Mine is PTC (peachtree city Georgia, where I lived at the time I joined) and vette b/c I have an '88 corvette. It's the nic I use on corvetteofrum.com so I figured it would be good to keep all my fourm names as consistent as possible!

Ah... glad you cleared that up. I thought you considered yourself as large as an elephant... and that you're a flaming homosexual. ;)

3 is good number and so is 8(8 bits to the byte!), the 1 just got in there just cause

I liked chemistry until I started doing all those equations in a chemical reaction... I promptly switched to computer science :)

My horoscope sign is Scorpio (B-day = 11/08)
Scorpio has may Symbols besides the Scorpion like the Eagle, Serpent, Dove and the Phoenix :)
The Element associated with Scorpio is Water :)

Symbol + Element = Phoenix Of Water

Cool? I think so :D

If I told you, I'd have to kill you. Actually I don't want anyone using the source of my nickname to carve one out for themselves - it's a rich source for unusual nic's. And no, it has nothing to do with Led Zep... But I will give you a clue.
. It is inspired by the name of the lead character of a late-night weird movie and zaniness show that was on in Tulsa when I was young. The actor/comedian who played the character went on to become a well-known personality and still shows up in movies occasionally.
. If anyone PMs me with the name, I'll send them an AOL CD ;) - not much danger of that as the show was on before most of you were born.
