what was the reason for choosing the nick that you chose here?

[MisterBeale]

"I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

Modern day Mordecai............. Savior gone bad.

Travis once meant .... those who collected the toll on toll bridges

 

[Travis Bickle]

Travis once meant .... those who collected the toll on toll bridges

And Bickle derives from Old English origin .......... 'pickaxe'.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

I Am Not Way-Out. I Am the Way Out.

Main Street is the only place where reality is experienced, but it needs a Sage to interpret it for those stuck in the real world. The rest of the Hole Whirled is Fantasyland.

 

[Crepitus]

Hope it is painful .
Bet I could recommend treatments which would improve you substantially - if not cure .

Introduce yourself to the following Doctors
Pierre Kory
Joseph Mercola
Robert Malone
Bryan Ardis
Look at repurposed and natural treatments .
Amaze yourself , DeCrapper

You're a peach, ain'tcha?

And I'll stick with real doctors, not your plague-carrying quacks.

 

[Crepitus]

I have that in a shoulder that never fully healed

Creaks, cracks, and weird buzzes. My right hip can make me think my cellphone is on vibrate.

 

[playtime]

i chose playtime, because this is my cyber playground, & y'all are in that glowing sphere i am playing around with in my hands on the interwebs.

 

[Travis Bickle]

She's a spicy peach.

 

[Travis Bickle]

LOL, who names himself after a disorder?

It's an honest admission. I for one, am shocked.

 

[Crepitus]

She's a spicy peach.

She's a festering deadfall of a peach. If you wanna defend someone you be better off picking typhoid Mary. At least she didn't understand she was doing harm.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

I chose my name because I have yet to shake my fists menacingly enough to get those damn kids off my lawn.

 

[Chuz Life]

My son had a cat that would lay on his chest while watching TV. My son would invariably fall asleep. My daughter-in-law claimed the cat had poison gas for breath. She called the kitty Evil Cat Breath. Kitty has passed on, I chose the name to remember her.

We have a Tabby that looks like your Avatar.

 

[Chuz Life]

i dont know whether this has been asked before.
And i do think this could be an interesting topic.

Way back when I started online chats (AOL chatrooms,) I tried a couple of other handles. Chuz Life was simply the one that stuck. It kind of coincided with me trying to fit "Choose Life" on a license plate.

Post in thread 'This place hasn't changed a bit. Just checking in.'

Jul 19, 2025

Chuz. Is that pronounced the way it is spells?



Rhymes with because?

Way back when personalized plates were first allowed in my State, I tried to register "Choose Life" but too many characters. So, I tried to shorten it to ChuzLife and was told that was already pre-registered by Planned Parenthood. True story.

Gift from parents .
Luiza is the Sumerian Goddess of Love and Beauty .
Both parents were Seers .

I thought that was Inanna ?
...
Inanna is the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of war, love, and fertility. She is also associated with political power, divine law, sensuality, and procreation. Originally worshipped in Sumer, she was known by the Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians as Ishtar. Her primary title is "the Queen of Heaven".

You truly are an ignorant and stupid person .

Your useful contributions here are zero, mixed and based on that rare ability of finding the wrong side of every issue .

No wonder your joints ache all the time -- perhaps Universe trying to pass on a mesaage ,or just your joints unable to support the weight of your cranial dead wood .

 

[Captain Caveman]

i dont know whether this has been asked before.
And i do think this could be an interesting topic.

When I signed up I had to rattle my brain for a username. I was thinking about cartoon programmes I used to watch decades ago, and Captain Caveman sprung to mind. I considered Hong Kong Phooey.

Let the planet go crazy for awhile -- first , it gets worse .
Keep your Cool , as they say . Do not get involved .
Then the frequencies alter , due to change in the elliptic angle of us relative to the sun .

Two years of difficulty and then we sweep into a Golden Age .

I will doubtless have to hope to catch those amazing times in my next incarnation ,due to being born too early this time to reap the benefits .Same for yourself and all the other old brain dead individuals stalking this waiting room for the last train
But hang on , as the world going crazy for awhile is great spectator sport .

See this Chat Club for a small taste of the madness

Lol, someone's triggered.

 

[braalian]

I find it amusing when posters have names and/or avatars that give zero indication of their sex and then still seem annoyed when other posters can’t tell

 

[petro]

Petro has been my nickname since childhood.
It is a short version of my impossibly long Polish last name.
It also fits because I love internal combustion engines and going fast.
