What's In A Name (3 Viewers)

[theBaron]

I was a language major in college, specializing in German and Germanic languages, and it was one of the nicknames that I had at the time. And I've always liked the idea of being a baron, there's the Red Baron (real and in Peanuts), the Beef Baron, the Beer Baron, Baron Munchausen (Terry Gilliam's version is the best!), Strauss' "Gipsy Baron", cattle barons, oil barons, Chrysler's LeBaron with "rich, Corinthian leather". And there's Baron von Steuben, hero of the Revolutionary War-that's the figure in my image, from the Franklin Mint's Yorktown series.

Prost!

[Peter Reuss]

I got my name from my mum about 37 years ago...it's so good why would I use another!

 

[maddadicus]

My son and I played Warhammer 40K and my handle is a latinized version of my son's longtime nickname for me ( MADDAD ) and my single parenting skills...Michael

 

[Shannon Reuss]

And nobody calls him 'Peter' besides his mum either--he's Pete to the rest of the world . Oh wait...his grandmothers call him Peter as well, and sometimes I do if he's in big trouble ...but other than that...

So, the ICUS part had nothing to do with swearing

Btw, I wanted the name 'Digger' to honour my Grandfather etc but there was already a member with that handle so I just added the Oz.

I figured it was a Seinfeld reference. George always wanted to pretend he was an architect....

He came up with some classics ,I think Art Vandelay was a latex salesman come importer / exporter .
One of his best was when he lied about being a marine bioligist to impress
a lady and ended up saving a whale with a gulf ball lodged in its blow hole
