Call me Lucky

If, a decade or more ago, you had asked John what animal he identified with, what he considered his "totem," he would have said eagle or maybe wolf. But that's not what he was asked roughly 10 years ago.

He was asked what manner of monkey he considered himself. After all, as a charter member of the now-dormant PaperMonkies online gang, he should ( Read more... )

Thanks!

Dude! You freakin stole that handle from me. I wanted it!

beldar January 4 2011, 04:22:45 UTC

I've been "beldar" roughly since 1984. Unless you're referring to Lucky, in which case you can have that, I guess.

I like your LJ-name. Fits you. =)

Oh, well I hope that you've grabbed it up all over the place. I once had a post up on a name that I really liked, and someone took the website from me, which I've always secretly thought was because they saw my name in a permanent chat room that I created back when AOL was the chat room place to be. Luckily, I was able to scoop up the domain after a time and I registered that shit for like 10 years.

I haven't insisted on securing the name "beldar" for two reasons -- 1) already a trademark of the SNL people, and 2) is the online screen name of a popular politically conservative blogger. I've started going by IndyBeldar (cuz I live in Indy) on other sites, and publishing stuff under my real name (cuz, after all, it's *mine*). If/when I get a domain all to myself it'll have a distinctive name -- maybe even Lucky Lemur if that's available.

I like lemurs. Cute and smart, what could be better? Ok, so seeing my son's face when he asked what IS that fruit in the bowl and hearing "kumquats" from my mama was pretty dang cute, too. (I thought he was gonna break his neck, he shifted to look at me so fast!)

Of course, the wee black fuzzball is mighty cute, too. (see my icon)

beldar January 4 2011, 20:35:39 UTC

Yay cute fuzzball! I don't know if I've had kumquats, but I like saying the name.

fallconsmate January 4 2011, 21:27:05 UTC

They're a small citrus fruit, you can eat them without peeling the skin off. I don't care for them too much, they can be *very* sour.

The fuzzball is a sweetie, and seems to be putting some much needed weight on. :D

The lemur icon is the cutest thing ever.

beldar January 4 2011, 20:34:31 UTC

Thanks!

Oh lemurs are so better than monkeys. So much cooler. Awesome intro!

beldar January 4 2011, 22:28:14 UTC

So, you, too, are pro-simian =)
Thanks!
