I thought H_Toser was a cryptic code for "lover of baboon butts". You mean to tell me I am wrong?!

Its a corny pet name I've had for a while with my husband. But its interesting and I use it a lot and its fun to say.
Nuff Said.

pooky

well there is not much here. my spells my and k spells k put it together and you have myk (mike). I am originally from california so dude just naturally flowed. I started using it years ago as a signature in art class.

my screenname is obvious but I don't just collect disney cards, I love all non-sport cards & some sport cards too (NY Yankees only). It's just the possible aquistion of a disney card I don't have makes my heart pound & my brow sweat until I hold it in my hand as my own.

Say, this is really great... Harris, could we put in searchable profiles with a biography type section??? This way we could all just list what we collect or whatever in them, maybe even trading lists???? I know what it takes to purchase/program something like that and its not cheap/easy.. but I think it may attract more members!

I don't know about searchable, but there is already a 'Profile' option.
To see the profile of the writer, hit the little icon with a question mark on it!

(who will agree to disagree over the Trekker/Trekkie debate, and who would like to say that 'Pooky' is a character in one of the "Lucia" books of E.F.Benson!)

hi from the 2nd member who can't be bothered to use a nickname. my name is rob waddle & i use the same for my email: robwaddle@hotmail.com.

hope u all had a nice easter.

Hi:

Paul is right. You can look at anyone's profile by clicking on the profile icon in a post. As for making the profiles searchable, I don't know if the company that provides us with the forum script has that in the works or not. Maybe I can look into after the Philly show, if I get a free minute.

Harris

I don't know if England & europe are different but around here it is trekkie & will always be trekkie. And wasn't Pooky the name of Garfield's brown teddybear?

I've really enjoyed hearing these stories! I hope more people tell their's. It's fun getting to know more about all of you.

Okay...I'm going to 'fess up here and tell you how I had interpreted...MISinterpreted would be more like it...some of your names:

Dune: Someone who just LOVES the movie "Dune".

Spidergoblin: Let's just say that I HOPED it had something to do with Spider-Man! Lol

Mtlhddoc2: A guy who is a doctor (or has a doctorate) but for some reason has a metal plate in his head! (Mtl=metal...hd=head..doc=doctor)

Quaint1: Someone who takes pleasure mainly from the simpler things in life.

WillGull: Some guy named Will who has a fascination with seagulls! Lol

Angeleyes777: Someone whose eyes I just have to see!

xst: For some reason, "motor cross biker" came to mind! Lol

Pooky: Someone who's "better half" goes by the name of Garfield.

Mykdude: (My K Dude)...I wanted to know what your "K" was! Lol

The rest of you have names that are rather self explanatory or easily interpreted correctly. But I honestly DID think those other names meant what I said. Boy, am I glad you guys explained them!

...and Kennywood, thanks for explaining what your name means. We all thought your real name was Kenneth Wood.

I thought he owned a lumber company....

I couldn't be more flattered by your interpretation, Kennywood.

Not much imagination to mine. My name is Cal Harley Davidson and I usally find the Harley-Davidson is taken, so started using CalHarley.

WOW !!! I don't think I ever laughed harder reading these pages!! Some of you guys (and the fairer sex) should write card backs for a living! Now, If we could only get Zina to do the card fronts!!! What a card set that would be!!! Have fun & Great Collecting!!

Writing card backs eh...
Do I sense a set of "Card Talk" trading cards?
A huge base set, with a picture of (or approximating to) a member, details on the back (including their 'legend'). #1 would, of course, be Harris...
Auto cards could also be included and I would be more than happy to cut up an old pair of jeans is a costume card is required...
Au Res.,
Paul

I would submit a pair of my old sneakers for a costume card, but i wont do an auto cause noone would ever believe that is my real signature

A card set,hah that would be awesome.Ok here is my idea..
Front of card can be either a caricature or sketch of said collector.Back can be a short bio of who/where you're from and what your fav is and what was your first intro into collecting etc..The inserts can be a sound card of whatever collecible info you wish to share.The case insert should be an a redemption f an all expense paid trip to either the Wizard World show in Chicago or the San Diego Con.

Hello. This looks like a good place for my first post. When I first went online 6 months ago, the first name that came to mind was the ship I was stationed on in the navy. The USS Carlvinson(CVN-70). I've used it for everything, accept Yahoo and Ebay it is carlvinsonbt3.

P.S. It's definitely TREKKIE!
