Time seems to move too quickly for weekly off-topic threads. As soon as people start to warm up to a subject, the week is out. So I'm trying a monthly thread instead. Let's see how that goes.
Post anything you'd like to get off your chest and feel does not warrant its own post.
Rant, rave, share, challenge, celebrate!

At the moment my thoughts are occupied by the funeral I attended today. Too young (don't we always feel that way?)
Congratulations to pike for achieving guru status. This happened a few days ago, but it is well deserved!
And another bunch of flowers to darkyam who also made "guru" just recently.
well done!
Re: Off topic 2010-02 -- February
guru is misspelt shouldn't pike be an " urgu " as in after a night on the beer ,head peeks out from under covers and says urghhh ooooooh, but maybe i'm just generalising on Aussies

I would write something here but I don't want to inflate my posts number :p
zbor, you're excused, if even moderators get it wrong, but read this: http://www.excelforum.com/2248955-post8.html
Oh, yes, we knew for your nick from here
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum19/3196-2-30.htm
My comment was more about the effect of Water Cooler posts on the post count in Excelforum (i.e. = 0), but thanks for following up on my web history (is it in your favourites? LOL). My post is on another page, though....
I know what was your comment about but this is Off topic so I had to re-direct water on my mill
ratcat, you wanna start a "why did you pick your nick" thread? I could ban you for not doing so
Nah, we know for most of members why did they pick their name.
(Accidently, I'm not one of them 0: ) )
Challenge: who other than the owner of the nick can explain:
DonkeyOte
DaddyLongLegs
pike
ratcat
romperstomper
darkyam
contaminated
sweep
ProtonLeah
oldChippy
WHER
ChemistB
Huron
squiggler47
jaslake
mallycat
ConneXionLost
That's just a random pick of the members with 2+ rep icons whose name is not obviously an abbreviation of their real name. If I missed anyone, please amend.
ratcat, maybe you don't need to start that thread then, after all, except for the real handles wanting to put things right.
So, any ideas?
I think there is something like that Teylyn back in the days when the Water Cooler became a fixture in the forum.
***Goings looking**
Edit: Stop looking I found the thread

ThanksI don't void confusion, I create it
Ok then, if you can't find it here, place your best bet in this thread.
I know the origin of DonkeyOte, but then it was my suggestion, so that's not fair...
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
ah but my real name is hugh jarsse!
Sad to tell, there isn't really any "story" behind "daddylonglegs". My sole criterion when choosing a moniker was "something easy to type".........
DonkeyOte wordplay on Don Quixote (one of my fav monikers)
DaddyLongLegs referring to the Cranefly, no other significance (according to DDL)
pike tough one, my first thought is relating to the fish but the bunny avatar throws me off. Could be a reference to a medieval polearm or the New Jersey Turnpike.
Ratcat: it rhymes
Romperstomper another rhyme. Not sure if it’s a reference to a deep seated hatred of the old preschool program "romper room".
Darkyam combined reference to Dark Helmet in Spaceballs and the Yam that became king of the world in Pinky & the Brain
Contaminated Possible chemistry, ecology or biology student?
Sweep Chimney sweep by day, Excel master, also by day.
ProtonLeah a fan of elementary particles and Star Wars?
oldChippy Chip off the old block
WHER fan of Dragonriders of Pern
ChemistB Me
Huron decended from the Native American Huron tribe of Canada and USA
squiggler47 Squiggler because he likes to doodle, 47 because there are 46 other doodlers.
Jaslake no guess.
Mallycat word play on Alley Cat, real name Mallory
ConneXionLost: no guess.
ChemistB
My 2?
