Who the **** is this other bix guy anyway, and why did he steal my handle? what kinda name is that? Or did I create it in a Guinness-enhanced-fog one night last year and just forget?<HR>

Maybe bix refers to the Bix 7[/URL" target="_blank">, a huge event in Davenport, Iowa, named for a deceased cornet player.

Here's a post in reverse - me figuring out someone else's handle who has ***not realized the need*** to 'splain it to us airheads. Now I know what dumb blondes feel like - or do they ever catch on??

I've been lurking for a week, then started contributing this week.
I see Ileneforward posting all over the place - quite the author, she. At least I think she's a she. I'll imagine another goddess, anyway. Post a pic, eh?

Where was I? Oh yeah, her handle. Always sounded a bit awkward to me. What was this "forward" part all about... a very assertive woman??? forwardIlene would have sounded better, then. Just seemed like a goofy non-sequitur. But considering some of the other handles, I figured you were just a bunch of oddballs.

finally at about 1am today it hit me. Why do my brain cells seem to work better when exhausted? I-lean-forward, her running style. Duh!!!!
Gotta be!
What else?

I'm usually good at figuring stuff out, but this one had me stumped, and I did spend some minutes wrestling with it. One long continuous "booomer moment".
I-L-F, we're not as bright as you think. Gotta help us out here. The handle thread's been up a yr and a half. Didja think it was a no brainer? Didja think I'm the no-brainer? well.... maybe

So, all you EZ-handles out there, don't take the boomers for granted any more. Spill the beans. And a few more profiles and pics wouldn't go wasted either. If you don't know how, just ask. Help us newbies get to know ya better.

No dog photos please, unless they've been vetted in advance by the Committee To Protect Our Stomachs, Nerves, Senses, and Sleep.

I am a huge fan of the Canadian Rock band RUSH. On their third album Caress of Steel the last song is an epic titled: Fountain of Lamneth. It is a 6 part song. The fifth part of the song is called Bacchus Plateau. The chorus of the song is:

"Draw another goblet
From the cask of '43
Crimson misty memory
Hazy glimpse of me
Give me back my wonder
- I've something more to give
I guess it doesn't matter
- There's not much more to live"

I am a member of several music communities and have carried the Caskof43 handle for a while now.

Sorry Weetabix but, like so many of us, you've been seduced down the primrose path by supreme goddess ilene (only you've fallen faster than most). Check page 11 herein to find out that her name is not necessarily from running form but from the name games she occasionally, if not regularly, delights upon us (much of the time without us even knowing). As a resuolt, we still suspect she chose this punning name over others because of a running connection but other theories abound.

Incidentally, Mr. Weetabix, which is what I will wisely call you, it's always a wise idea to heed the goddesses, especially when they are so smart, e.g. aonther example BSc, PhD, PDQ, etc.)

Welcome, seesusirun.

Are you sure that shouldn't read seesoucirun?
(We'd combine for quite a tongue-twithter.)

I've found it very difficult to knit and run. A shame, really, although I make my share of boo-boos when I'm seated, so perhaps it's a good thing after all.

Post often!

Another easy one here -- I live on Puget Sound. My favorite runs are those with a view of the Sound and, on a clear day, the Olympic Mountains. My birthday was tacked on to get it registered here.

If they are as good as they looked yesterday big Phil may keep his job after all.
