Just now I figured out that genesisone is Genesis One, and not Gene Sisone.

Hah, funny you bring this up.  I always read your name as KB1N.  I'm used to seeing KB-1 (cyrillic KV-1) with a letter behind it so everytime I see your name it feels more natural.

Your third letter is a long "e".  The "n" would look like a little "H".  The KV-1 was a tank, that's why I remember it.  There was a KV-1a, KV-1e, and KV-1s (which is a "c" in cyrillic).  There was no KV-1n but still, I always see it like that!

Is there some sorta of trivia contest where we could pick ten folks to represent the board and participate in.

The amount of worthless knowledge is amazing.

Lol, true enough, but I figure it's a truth in advertising thing. Maybe I can go the hyphen route...   Mr. Asteriktos-[new name]... or spelling it backwards (Sotkiretsa)...   

Nah...

I don't know what you are referring to, perhaps a place (river or park or something), but I know is as loose term to define a group of so-called indigenous people in your neck of the woods I imagine.

When I read your name the first time, I thought of the language.

Most posters that attempt to write my username spell it wrong, hence the cranky tagline. Does anyone (that doesn't live in the NW) know what my username refers to? (no cheating and looking it up online)


A tribe.

Ding ding ding! You get the gold star. :D

The Quinault don't have a casino, we have a fish processing plant. ;D (and a ton of trees/logging)

Any idea where I get bear from? Did you have it as a custom title or something at one time?

Actually, it's Volnutt-berg.

Hey, don't let one dyslexic poster make you change your names, men! ;)
I actually want to change it, but not sure what to change it to.

Personally, I think Aposphet is a great name with great commercial possibilities and you should retain your legal rights to it first, along with Aposphetic, Apospheticism, Aposphetitis, Aposphetorical, etc.

People occasionally spell my screen name Congomen.  What an odd screen name that would be.
