Hello fellow Teemsters!
After months of deliberation, I have changed my username from ChiefWahoo to August West.
My original name was a spur of the moment thing that I really didn’t think about too long because I didn’t think I’d be spending much time here. I was obviously very wrong.
So, for better or worse, my new SN is August West. If you’re nice about it, I’ll let you call me Augie.
Oh, and 10 Augie-bucks to the first person that figures out where the new name came from.
And thanks for giving me something to do this early in the morning. My guess as to the name - August West was a character in “Wharf Rat.” Now, where can I spend Augie bucks?
So, August West, instead of Augie-bucks, how about a dime, a dime for a cup of coffee?
(yeah, I know…you got no dime but you got some time to hear my story.)
BTW, in one of those home repair-type magazines I get, there’s an ad in the back to “start your own business as a chimney sweep…be an August West franchisee!”
Dire Wolf, I thought you might show up in this thread! Here’s an honorary Augie-dime for ya. The Dire Wolf {i]always* collects his due. Are there any other Deadhead usernames out there that you’re aware of?
An honorary Augie-dime!!! I promise not to take it over to that GQ thread and flatten it on the train tracks.
If you just want poster names that are GD inspired, I only know of two: Rhythmdvl and Tie-Dye. There are also a few other posters who are Dead Heads (that I know of, anyway):
**Bottle Of Smoke, Cantrip, dantheman, DoctorJ, mailman, plnnr, retsin2000, uberDave, Ukelele Ike **
There’s also a poster named Stella Blue, and I would figure it’s from the song, but I don’t know for sure. Afterall, I figured ChiefWahoo would surely be an Indian fan!
Yeah, yeah, everybody beat me to the reference-nailing, too. What was wrong with just calling yourself “Wharf Rat” ? That’d be a cool UserName…
Maybe I’ll start another MPSIMS thread…“Pick Your Deadhead UserName!” Just call me Silk Trombone. Or maybe That Girl Barefootin’ Along. Or maybe Thirty-Two Teeth in a Jawbone.
‘bout most everything has been said. Nothin’ left to do but smile, smile smile
ATTN: Wharf Rats are meeting in section G4… Wharf Rats are meeting in section G4….
Love the new name.
