MC manic cat Member East Village, NYC Joined: Jun 21, 2002 Posts: 540	MC manic cat Posted posted on Thu, Jul 17, 2003 4:26 PM I have a dilemna: multiple ideas for my TC Username. My alias in the straight world is Lena Howansky. So, far on TC, I've used my comic strip character's identity, Manic Cat. But light bulbs have gone off since. In homage to Don Ho and my "real"name, there's Len Ho. Now I hear that there's a Hawaiian puppy dog, named Pua Pua Lena Lena. Because I'm a Libra, I can't decide. This is where your vote matters! (by the way, I pronounce my name like Jay "Leno" but with an "a" instead of an "o" and NOT like "Lena" Horne). Here's the ballot: Manic Cat Len Ho Pua Pua Lena Lena MAHALO

It definitely makes me wish I'd thought of "Atomic Dog" as my screen name. Makes me smile just thinking of it. Hopefully, somebody will pick it up. -JTD

MC manic cat Member East Village, NYC Joined: Jun 21, 2002 Posts: 540	MC manic cat Posted posted on Fri, Jul 18, 2003 12:12 PM wow! thanks for all the responses. Lo Ho is pretty funny but it reminds me too much of my older brother's nickname in High School, "HO", resulting in his friends calling me "Little HO." Or when I was kid, I couldn't roll my "r" when speaking, so when my brother's friends would teasingly ask me, "are you a him or a her?" (I'm a girl by the way), I would answer with my poor pronounciation, "I'm a HO." oh no, all the repressed memories are starting to spill out... with majority vote, Manic Cat ps. Gecko you're right on w/ George Clinton. If I change my name, my big doggie Benny Kane wouldn't be chasing me around anymore! [ Edited by: manic cat on 2003-07-18 12:16 ]

E emspace Member Vancouver Joined: Jan 05, 2003 Posts: 879	E emspace Posted posted on Mon, Jul 21, 2003 2:51 PM Heh...well Manic, I was 17 at the time and more than ready. I'd been hung up on art rock (aka prog rock, aka artsy-fartsy poncey poop for lonely depressed nerds) since I was 13, and needed something new. I guess I was tired of being lonely, depressed, and nerdy. Well, between P-funk, Bootsy, Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire, and loads of other funk, plus big doses of Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, and Miles Davis, I left all that nerdiness in the dust in a hurry! I was having a good time, I was LIVING! I owe a great debt of gratitude to my old friend Jim Good, who rescued me from musical oblivion and showed how to put my foot on the One. Good bless Chocolate City and its vanilla suburbs, emspace.
