You could call yourself “ **Luxury Yacht** ” and you’re location or sig could be “Pronounced ‘Throat Warbler Mangrove’.” Or: **Lord Jim of Franchi** **Elf Jerseyan** Of course I think **Jersey Jim** is rather good too. ---

If my country which I love, elects Jeb Bush, I might move to Canada for my family, but I should stay and continue the “resistance”. 😉 **Elf-Friend** has a nice double meaning, My wifes nickname is Elf and of course it covers a Hobbit who is friend to the Elves.

\*Jethro Q.

On further reflection… **Flame of Udun** - since you like Balrogs (as much as anyone can “like” Balrogs!). Maybe you can figure out how to do the little upside-down “v” over the “u.” …and on the Hobbit front: **Thain of the Shire Bucca of the Marsh Hamfast Tolman Gardner Son of Drogo Master of Buckland** ---

I decided going through some of your posts might help, and after reading them, I have to say it’s absolutely annoying how likeable you are. 😛 I am now of the firm belief you should take **Flying Spaghetti Monster** as your own. You introduced me to it, and I have an FSM decal on my car because of you. ---

Well, that works, too. Or maybe **Prophet of the FSM**. Something appropriately lofty. Also the title of one thread kinda tickled me: **Alpha Centauri Pronto**. But that’s probably just because the benadryl I’m taking makes everything funny. **Italian Hosebeast** ; good double entendre, even though Jim is anything but a hosebeast. ---
