Breton Banquet is the name of my horse - he's an ex-racehorse hence the ridiculous name... his parents were called Brittany and Nosh, and a common method of naming them is to link it in with the parents names. So, 28 years ago, Breton Banquet was born, and more recently I figured it was a good name for me too

When I joined my favourite two songs were Blue Lamp and Battle Of The Dragon, and since I couldnt figure out how to shorten Battle, so I went for Blue Lamp. I added "The" because there was already a bluelamp and also to sorta pay tribute to THE blue lamp Stevie had and wrote about. After a while I sorta looked at the name and laughed at it...Trust me to name myself after an inanimate object

It all goes back to the time I forgot to zip up completely before going outside one January day...

No? Uh, would you believe it's from my given name? Chilton Wilbur Diaperthwaite.

Really, I just wanted a penguin-related name and I've always liked the cartoon.

"the being known as wondergirl is speaking, I believe..." is a line from my favorite Monkees song, Randy Scouse Git. I wasn't an FM fan yet when I chose my screenname and email. I was trying to use something from my fave songs and thought wondergirl was pretty cool. Someone else was using wondergirl around the net, so I added the 9847 which is from another Monkees song P.O. Box 9847.

Wah-la.

I may have answered this before as well as "Miss Vickey" said...
here is my story.

I love the moon!
I could stare at it for hours and hours out my window or from my deck...
I am always facinated by it ! and have been since I was a little girl-
Musically, I loved "Sisters of the Moon when it came out (I could relate of course) plus there is also a Sting tune called "Sister Moon" that I love

But since I also love "Storms" and the line of ~~always be a storm~~,
And since I believe that I have such a fractured personality/and intelligence...
Nothing about me is total (like a full moon), so,

I refer to myself as~~ eclipse~~
It is only part of the moon and appears when you don't expect it...like me

I also use it to identify myself as well on any other board or chat or whatever- so if you see a post from ~~eclipse~~ somewhere-It's me.

I remember you were SMACDOUG in the old days of that Fleetwood Mac chat board in the 90's. Remember that?

goldie · #42 03-12-2006, 08:20 PM

goldie is a variation of golddust which I use for just about everything else ... but it was already taken when I signed up here. My screen name years ago was golddust in a chat room and people would just call me goldie .... so now I am just goldie 'round here!!!!!!

skcin · #43 03-12-2006, 08:49 PM

When I first joined Mick's board, all the usual Stevie-related ones were taken already. So I started spelling different words backwards & this one worked best. I use it on every board I post on (even non-Mac ones) and on the off-chance that it's already taken or not enough characters or whatever, I use skinlegna.

mine... not so clever. the line "she is like a cat in the dark and then.. she is the darkness.." was the first line from one of her songs that i remember hearing and thinking, "i hope i can write like that some day." i've always found it one of her most visually capturing lines. and so... i carried out the utmost form of flattery... and copied it!
