<p>How did you find these old threads?? I AM impressed!! I hope everyone reads them-- they are very entertaining!</p>

43

<p>

</p>

<p>Ahem.
(10 char)</p>

44

<p>All the Dad variations: WashDad, eadad, dudedad, oldolddad…</p>

45

<p>

</p>

<p>Jym, first I tried searching using CC’s lame search function with no luck. I even searched the old CC 'cause I couldn’t remember whether the thread was from way back then or more recently. No luck there, either. Finally I tried searching Google Groups. That did the trick! I think I used the search terms “screen name” and “Cangel” because I remembered a lot of discussion about her name in the thread.</p>

46

<p>The “weird character” I truly miss is Robert E. Lee. Anybody remember him? :D</p>

47

<p>I do. He was really funny.</p>

48

<p>Where is the thread in which TheDad said he looked like Johnny Depp?</p>

<p>Was that the same one where the late lamented driver said she looked like Sigourney Weaver? </p>

<p>My only problem with that is that I can come up with some public figures I might if you squint resemble, but there’s always a but.</p>

<p>As in, I look like Sharon Stone but not as hot. I look like Carly Fiorina but not as authoritative. Then I realize all I am really saying is that I have short hair that I have kept blonde over the years through artificial means - although those artifical means are of high quality ;).</p>

<p>I mean face it. If I really looked like Sharon Stone I’d have a different career than I do now.</p>

<p>

Where is <em>any</em> thread in which he DIDN’T make this claim?? :confused:</p>

50

<p>I miss one of our truly weird ones, the poster to whom our sgiovinc asked the Q -“Are you the Unabomber?” I still chuckle about that from time to time.</p>

51

<p>

</p>

<p>WashDadJr is willing to battle anybody when he thinks he is right, and is reluctant to take anyone’s word for anything. I’ve had to explain to him that this trait leads to either being Richard Feynmann or Ted Kaczynski, and that I hope he choose correctly. As far as I know, my son was not the Unabomber.</p>

52

<p>Since the Dads got recognition, we can’t forget we have lots of interesting mom screen names too.</p>

<p>Some of my favorite names: </p>

<p>southjerseychessmom, astrophysicsmom, zoosermom, anxiousmom, scansmom, Northstarmom, BHappymom, mootmom, mathmom, firstimemom</p>

<p>^ Somehow they each conjure up some interesting images…</p>

<p>Not so favorite name: Un-soccermom :wink: What’s with that?</p>

53

<p>Well, at least ~B says my weirdness is amusing. :)</p>

<p>Noone has yet asked me if I am the Unabomber. Hmm. Must think of additional weirdness opportunities.</p>

54

<p>anyone old enough to remember jamimom and surferdudesmom? funny and wise.</p>

55

<p>Alumother,</p>

<p>Everytime I see your name I think of aluminum sulfate that was used as a water treatment chemical to flocculate out turbidity, thus forming an alum sludge. </p>

<p>Is that weird enough?</p>

56

<p>When I see ‘Alumother’ my first thought is ALU == Arithemetic Logic Unit. I guess this is the engineer in me.</p>

57

<p>On some days, I do feel rather like an alum sludge. I will try to improve my flocculation. On my good days, I hope I function like an Arithmetic Logic Unit.</p>

<p><em>had to Google correct spelling for Arithmetic…</em></p>

<p>I too miss jamimom. Many of us do who were around when she posted. What a great voice she had.</p>

<p>B - you are right…I guess he persists:).</p>

58

<p>Speaking of which, who can forget THIS infamous P2N thread?! </p>

59

<p>oh, I MISS jamimom!!! <em>sniffle</em> She helped my S and me out sooooo much!!</p>

<p>Sharon…ummm, I mean, Alu, in case you were wondering, I guess I’d have to say that I resemble (to a T) Jacqueline Bisset (think: The Deep). Yeah, THAT Jacqueline Bisset. Well, I can DREAM, can’t I??? ;)</p>

<p>I miss jamimom, too. </p>

<p>And, hey, Cangel, nice to see you around! :)</p>
