My username leaves your whites whiter and your colors more colorful! It removes nasty spots and wrinkles with just a tug! No really, it’s not Spanish, it’s Sanskrit. And it doesnt’ mean “clean” as in “tabula rasa” it means “stuff of life”. ---

In 1975, a crack commando was sent to prison by a military court for a crime she didn’t commit. This woman promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, she survives as soldier of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find her, maybe you can hire… Beadalin. ---

::sigh:: Okay. I lied. My real name isn’t Audrey K. I do know an Audrey K., but if I told you who she is and what kind of work she does, then I’d have to kill you. I’d have to make it unpleasant, too, I’m afraid. Honest-to-God, I swear it on a stack of Bibles, in absolute truthfulness, my legal name is Dweeb.\* You can call me Dweebie or Dweebers. I’ll leave it up to you. Whoo, that’s a load off my chest. [sub]\*Not.[/sub] ---

[http://www.departments.bucknell.edu/pr/BucknellWorld/1997-7/flashback.html](http://www.departments.bucknell.edu/pr/BucknellWorld/1997-7/flashback.html) I’m supposedly a woman who graduated from Bucknell in 1974 who went to cheer on the Bison. _confused_ Actually my username is a typo of my old username from AOL’s SDMB, which was WillowElf7. Someone read it as WillowWelf7, and the “welf” name stuck. My username is also fun to say and can make one feel warm and squishy inside.
