I googled my name, which of course everyone knows here, and found one reference to myself on a board about acoustic neuromas; most of the rest were about a Ted Remington who is an artist, living a few hundred miles west of me. I almost fell over, though, when I pulled up a picture of him. He actually looks quite a bit like me!!!

To me, "stales" are the handles of almost any long-handled garden tool - especially rakes and hoes. Also for the handles of long brooms that you use to sweep the yard.
So when someone asks you, "what's your handle ....."

BTW, I have joined the current craze for googling my soubriquet - it came up with no less than 113 entries, which totally gob-smacked me. They had to do either with Norton Commandos called "Rhubarb" or with the code names used by the airforce for operations in WWII. Whaddye know?

Googled "Capital Kiwi" and found that nearly half of the 50-odd hits were in Italian and were about economics and finance. Seems kinda appropriate.

Ciao!

Jazzo - thought I'd check yours on google and can confirm your results.

And don't worry, the fact that you're a registered user of the Survivor III chat board is safe with us here at AWAD!! (At least you are brave enough to admit publicly that you watch it!!) Don't all the cutaway shots of critters remind you of the old Tarzan movies? (Not that I watch S III of course....)

Oh MAN, you-all! I figured there'd be a jillion ref.'s to Jackie, so I tried the most unusual name that hadn't been posted yet as being entered. Here's an interesting link:http://mech.math.msu.su/~apentus/znaete/www.htm
All the titles and links are in English, but all the explanations are in a language with an alphabet that I can't read.
AND, look what else I found:

Pengucapan: {tsoom}

The url for the above is http://www.bit.net.id/SABDA-Web/L/L066d.htm
