Your thoughts on CC's weird characters

<p>I have to admit I think of water purification when I see ALUMother’s screenname:</p>

<p>“Alum, Allom [aluminium potassium sulphate], in chemistry, is a term given to the crystallized double sulfates of the typical formula M+2SO4·M3+2(SO4)3·24H2O, where M+ is the sign of an alkali metal (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, or caesium), and M3+ denotes one of the trivalent metal ions (typically aluminium, chromium, or iron (III)). The ammonium ion (NH4+) also occurs in the M+ position.”</p>

<p>Hey, I can’t help it if I just don’t feel like joining in the latest outrage du jour thread and arguing. It gets tiresome. I’d much rather have fun and laugh. :)</p>

<p>^ (My first job after college was as a chemist at a water treatment plant. I did that while taking graduate classes).</p>

<p>When I see your name , I think of a “parent of 2 moles”. I have no idea if you are the momma mole or the papa mole.</p>

<p><a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_(animal[/url])”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_(animal)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Papa of two moles. ;)</p>

<p>While I want to be [url=<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:JohnWayne07.jpg]this[/url”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:JohnWayne07.jpg]this[/url</a>].</p>

<p>Chances are I really am more like [url=<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bozo_the_Clown.jpg]this[/url”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bozo_the_Clown.jpg]this[/url</a>].</p>

64

<p>lol ^^. I too read moles instead of noles and always picture these cute little underground critters living in their cozy den with the mole family.</p>

65

<p>Hey! I know I guy who grew up next door to you, Bozo!!</p>

66

<p>Whoops!</p>

<p>I should say I want to be [url=<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Osceola.jpg]this[/url”>File:Osceola.jpg - Wikipedia]this[/url</a>].</p>

<p>And not [url=<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mole12.png]this[/url”>File:Mole12.png - Wikipedia]this[/url</a>].</p>

67

<p>And what about Marite? I remember being shocked to find out her name is pronounced Mary-tay rather than Ma-reet, which is how I still say it in my mind. :)</p>

68

<p>Are you serious? I think of her as MAR-eet, not Mary-tay.</p>

69

<p>I think Marite is short for Mary-Theresa or Marie-Therese or something. She’s French. </p>

<p>I feel your shock, p2noles.</p>

70

<p>Hey, moly moly moly man:</p>

<p>Can you really take pronunciation advice from a Peruvian? :D</p>

71

<p>Hey, you can’t be both John Wayne AND Osceola. What kind of movie would you be in? </p>

<p>And yes, it’s Ma-ree-Tay (short for Marie Therese). I don’t do the accents because, now that’s I’ve figured out how to do them, CC truncates my posts every time I do. Now, that’s some weird CC character (istic).</p>

72

<p>Cool name. Bet you’re gorgeous. :wink: Aren’t all [French</a> women](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Deneuve]French”>Catherine Deneuve - Wikipedia) gorgeous?</p>

<p>Much less pronunciation advice from someone in CA.</p>

<p>One second thought you could be [url=<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Millais_-_Das_Tal_der_Stille.jpg]this[/url”>File:Millais - Das Tal der Stille.jpg - Wikipedia]this[/url</a>] kind of Mary Therese. Still gorgeous; but much more inclined to smack your knuckles with a ruler.</p>

73

<p>Another confession.</p>

<p>I always enjoy reading the posts by StickerShock. However, I NEVER think of college tuition when I see that screen name. For some reason, I always think of used cars.</p>

74

<p>Did Byerly get eliminated? I miss his provocative threads on the HYP boards. </p>

<p>As for weird, who remembers this thread by uc_benz? :smiley:

75

<p>Looks a bit ■■■■■-ish.</p>

76

<p>The pencil thread was not quite as much fun as the staple vs. paper clip (for the application) thread to which TheDad and ariesathena contributed suggestions (including the use of an amphora). </p>

<p>P2n: If Catherine Deneuve reverted to her natural color of hair, I might have a better chance of looking like her.</p>

77

<p>Whenever I see “Curmudgeon” for some reason I think of old goats.</p>

78

<p>What?! She’s not a blonde? I am shocked! :eek: </p>

<p>I’m sure you’re just kidding. ;)</p>

<p>p2n-
you have too much time on your hands :)</p>

<p>I dunno…just in a mood to say it with pictures. :)</p>

<p>Btw - the missus and I are going to the beach for a sushi supper and sparkling wine (remembered that too ;)). Beautiful day here, then we’ll go for a walk and see the sun set.</p>
