Topic: What's in a name...... | |
---|---|
I love telling this story.... I didn't create my profile or my user name. Oh, I've since edited the description, but my user name was picked by my buddy's wife Gretchen. She thought that it was "a waste that I wasn't married," so she picked an online dating service (JSH at the time) and created the profile one morning while I was sleeping in their spare bedroom. When I awoke that morning, she proceeded to show me what she'd done and made me promise that "I'd at least try." How she came up with Roaming Orator: It seemed to her that I'd been everywhere in the country. No matter where she brought up, I'd been there, and had a story to tell about the trip - generally a long and rather humorous one. Traveling storyteller wouldn't fit as a user name, so "Roaming Orator" was born. I can see why you'd be fond of the story.. it really is a very good one! my spidey senses are tingling here though.. are you perchance a writer? |

Mine's self explanatory. I assume you didn't have any problems when registering it on the first try either! |

I've never finished one of my novels, though I have had a poem published. |

ERASMUS is a User name that I use on a few sites and is merely a set of letters that I will respond to. It the name of a character in a book I read. I saw similarities between that character and myself so I took it. Research it and found only one other person with it. A Danish Catholic apologist of the 1500s.

I named myself after one of the greatest characters in cinematic history, from the classic Manos The Hands Of Fate. If you ever get a chance, watch the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode where they watch Manos The Hands of Fate. I'm sure it's on the internets some-where. |
