Nice. I like that. I’ve always been afraid to stand on my bass. Lee Rocker from the Stray Cats broke his ribs falling off his. I also didn’t want to break my bass.
Cooking was always a hobby of mine, and at the time I signed up I was on a hiatus from playing guitar. I started up guitar again (around 15 years ago) and now I’m an avid jazz player with a few gigs. I’ve been thinking of changing my username but it seems like a hassle.
India. 1979. I was on the fourth night of a two-day opium and sex orgy with a high-ranking Madagascaran general and a half-dozen east-Asian college co-eds/call girls.
The general and a girl named Nomi went out for cigarettes. I was eating the last of a lemon cake, and trying to make conversation with one of the hookers, but her English was far from understandable in my opium-induced state.
I told her “That’s enough, honey. No more talking.”
She said, “Lendon vake?”
I said, “Honey, let me eat my lemon cake cuz I want to go to bed.”
“Lendon ved?” she said.
But at that point, my last hit off the pipe did something to me, and her words began to echo off the walls.
"Lendonvedenlendonvederlendervedendervedderlendenvedderlenderveddenderlendervedder…
“Len…der…ved…der.”
I was lost in the sound of her voice bouncing around my eardrums, and I hadn’t noticed the general had come back, and was standing over me. He was repeatedly asking me if I was okay. I finally realized he was talking to me, and I said “Yeah…yeah.”
Then he asked, “But are you happy?”
I looked at him, nodded my head slowly, and said, “No.”
That general’s name? S.K. Faulkner. No relation.
Bob Bitchin’ is a revered Chinese Canadian philosopher.
Far out, Man.
Do you know Pittsburgh’s own Jimmy Adler by any chance? He is in your genres, doing guitar and vocals.
Mine is just something my first wife called me after I beat her at some game or another we were playing on a Sega Genesis ca. 1991. I started using it as a character name on games that would permit a name of that length and carried it over to use on-line. There are several people using the name now, according to a Google search I just ran.
Mine means that I’m a nerd.
I learned what “colibri” meant, thanks to your user name. When I started playing Final Fantasy XIV last year, I ran into a bird-like creature called a “Colibri,” which looks a flamingo and a dragon got drunk together one night and did very naughty things. When I first saw one of those in the game, I said, “That’s no hummingbird!”
You mean all people named Frodo don’t go on quests involving rings?
I am really William Falkner.
I am your father, S.
Secretly I’m actually a superhero with the power to control furry creatures.
Funny, I wanted the name Knowed Out. When I couldn’t get it I gave up.
I admire Nellie Bly. I considered using my biker name, S.N. Faulkner, but I couldn’t take one more damned kid asking me the theme of The Sound and the Fury. I usually said it was “Street racing is illegal.”
Protecting both your bass and your ass.
Love your avatar, Shoeless (for anyone that doesn’t recognize it, it’s Joe Jackson’s * Look Sharp * album cover).
I was S.N. Faulkner in a former life.
Is your avatar a white supremacist making an OK sign?
S.N. Faulkner paid my mortgage!
That’s a bunch of shit:)
Inspired by “ravenous man-eating Pliocene clams” claims. It was useful for my gaming name as I am old, slow and almost always dead as our Planetside 2 group could attest to.

I really wanted precambriansabretoothedmollusc as a username, but my great uncle S. N. Faulkner said that would just be stupid.
That IS awesome!
Send not to seek th’ Mystery of my Name; for there are Cyphers too dark, Pow’rs too deep, for the ken of mortal Minds.
Except for S.N. Faulkner’s, of course.
I am so sorry, but I have some sad news for you …
