My father looks/moves like John Wayne. All his buddies called him "The Duke" and therefore called me lilduke. All these years later I'm still so proud to be my fathers son, and pay homage to him.

"Born (well actually cloned) as a favor from Count Dooku to Jango Fett, the little known Boba Fret was the failed first clone attempt and was later renamed (so as not to disgrace the Fett clan) and eventually replaced with the now famous bounty hunter Boba Fett. Discarded from his people, he spent his time hanging out with the cantina band members and learning the sweet science of music.
Always a fan of low frequencies, Fret turned his focus to low ranged instruments and settled in with the Electric Bass as his current weapon of choice. Funk music drew him in at an early age and hes most comfortable in that musical environment. His technical proficiency has struggled at times but his drive and desire to share his love with the masses has remained unchanged. Think of him as an NBA sixth man. Not the focal point of the team, but a solid contributor with a glue like effect to keep it all together."

When I was child (am 56) would do anything, so I won't miss a single episode of Mr. Ed (the talking horse) nothing would work better than holding my breathing for few seconds until I turn purple-ish, worked all the time... poor my mother, am going straight to hell.
It's complicated.
No it's not. You were my dad's partner in his ob/gyn practice.
Not coordinated enough to play a fiver. Thought I had the wildly original idea of eliminating the G string, and adding a B to my Geddy J...So I joined TB with 4-stringB, and promptly found out that BEAD was relatively common.
DnD Character that I had at one point a few years back. Actually, about a decade at this point.
Nukes was a nickname from high school based on my last name and temperament.
The rest proves I'm lame and should have given this SN more thought

I was the 16th employee of a dot com and our abbreviation on the dow was lfmn. I still use it because it's ALWAYS available and I don't have to think.
In a past life I spent a lot of time playing a space flying game online. One of the guys I knew personally that played it also told me once that I flew like a Kamikaze and it stuck. It seems other people over the years have suffered a similar fate and I find that username is often already taken so I had to add to it. In yet another life I was a reserve officer for our Sheriff's Department and my number was 39-55. There you have it!
A few years before I took early retirement in '09 I started playing again in earnest (bands, duo, trio ... guitar, bass guitar, upright bass, piano, harp) I found that I was a bit rusty from 30+ years of playing only casually while I pursued my career and raised a family. I've long since knocked off the rust, and play out two or three nights a week ... but the handle remains.
