How did you come up with your online name?

Yes, but are you a Democratic pragmatist or a Republican pragmatist?

 

~ ❓But where did we think up our avatars ... THAT is the mystery . '

 

Always liked this.

 

Sally beat me to it. I didn't find yours a mystery in any way. I still love it, though!

PS - mine is just 2 out of 4 of my bosses.

 

~ I rescue stray cats. Always have about a dozen around the house. At some point I will randomly post photos of them "just because " .

 

Bjørn is my name. Didn't want to use "ø" in my username because I wanted to be considerate of people not blessed with a 29-letter alphabet.

 

I'm not very creative. I guess my parents came up with mine.

 

Sappho, it has been said, was the first known, female writer and poet.
Wonder Woman, is known to exclaim in frustration... Suffering Sappho!

As a woman, I'm a fan of them both!

 

I get numerous compliments and accolades for my many high achievements daily from so many people but I always give the same reply to them so they can see how humble I am. So I use that phrase as my on-line name.

 

One of my favorite slogans is I am just one of the 7.5 Billion passengers on the 5 Billion year old spaceship

Is Just a Man hoping to get a place on Bezos's and Musk's Island in the sky??

 

Cirdellin

Circum or circle
Delta or triangle
Linea or line

Three of the most important shape constructs in geometry.

I thought avoid throwing in the rectangle but that would make it too long

 

No way. I like to keep my feet connected to the gravity on earth's terra firma. But I do go bass fishing once in a while.

 

Weird. When I first saw you post, it crossed my mind that it was some sort of math function. Thanks for sharing. I was at least, in the neighborhood.

 

Well everything Ancient Greek is huge to me. And I’m not Greek at all. But they were so phenomenal that I wish they existed to this day. It is unimaginable what today would have looked like!

 

Because I like pork and "SaltPork" just didn't sound right. I'm actually not very fat, got a beer gut though.

 

My son told me today I needed a cool online username... he made one up for me sorry can't share security and all

 

It was a nickname I had as a kid. "Yardmeat" was what older guys in my family used to refer to, well, meat you could find in your yard -- possums (hence the avatar), raccoons, squirrels, snakes. They would tease me as a kid and talk about cooking me up too. So, it was that or "Gator bait."

 

I sense a Pythagoras enthusiast!

 

I am sure Bezos and Musk will make sure you can go bass fishing in space.. Amazon must sell gear.

 

They could sell oxygen and mask -- LOL

 

FivepointFive is the name of my blog.. If I ever get around to writing one..

 

I am a conservative because I am pessimistic about human nature and human potential, and think that there is often wisdom in tradition. I am a Democrat because I think the government has an important role to play in society. What this means in practice is that I am often conservative on social issues and usually liberal on economic and environmental issues.

To the extent that I am a conservative, mine is a conservatism that is without concern for the economic well being of the rich.

My avatar is a portrait of Edmund Burke. I think he had valid insights. I also think Karl Marx had valid insights. I disagree with each of them on specific issues.

 

Well it was my nickname in college and it's from a song by a band I really like. The thing is I have no recollection of how or who decided to call me the Booman. There was a lot of booze flowing in those days. Not by me of course. Everyone else.

 

My first name is Alonzo and middle name is Jay

 

Self explanatory.

Other sites, not so much.
