meltdown - was a local radio DJ's nickname at the time i was addicted to Duke 3D and would play all night next to the radio.
75 - a year which may or may not be significant to me.

It certainly doesn't take an ichthyologist with extension background in research of elasmobranchia to determine what mine means. :p

Lola

Lola = character in the musical/movie Damn Yankees. She was strong, seductive and outspoken. She sang a song called "whatever lola wants, lola gets" that was given to me back in HS. I usually was determined to get what i want and i usually got it, so the name stuck! :) ....

actually, i am just a tranvestite ;) j/k!

I wanted something that sounded strong and tough. Then to make it unique I spelled it with an Ye Olde English style.

That's the truth.

There is a space in my name, because we could have spaces back then. I haven't changed it because its now unique.

Do all your family members have as kickass an office as you do?

I used to. Now I think I will live on the ocean for ever knowing they are close by and in their natural habitat. It's scary that the water quality I maintained was actually better than what has been measured around some of the islands. The ports are downright nasty!

I'm having serious bandwidth withdrawal though. There is no way a sane person could quit cold turkey from a synchronus, fast connection. No fvcking way!

Well my name is Andrew and my family and everyone just calls me Drew. So I took that and put the first thing I thought of in front of it.
