I've known a couple of Myrons. I do believe that the name tends to
warp their personality in some way, probably because of childhood
slings and arrows from people like.... Well, you know.

I've also know a few Reggies who were all decent enough.

I'm not sure about Smithers though. That one does not ring true.

Do you come from a long line of Smithers?

No one is named "reginald" except that character in the "archie" comic
strip.

That's not really true - Elton John's real name is Reginald Dwight I
believe.

Come of thing of it, you may have a point. :)

A long time ago, I wrote a short sci-fi story and used the Myron
Fredrick as my "pen" name. One of the editors that my Dad knew looked
through it, pronounced it acceptable, but a name change was necessary.

I asked why and he said that nobody was named Myron. When I said that
Myron, Fred and Rick were the first names of my best friends, he asked
what's Myron's nickname?

Doug I replied. :)

D'Oh!!!


Reginald Mantle III, in case you are into comic book trivia.

I understand your mom named you Sal****er Tom because she found you as a
babe floating in a wicker basket among the cattails along Long Island
Sound. Is that true? :}


Yep.


Sounds like the story of Moses.

Did you notice his marina puts the trailer on blocks? I knew
if my father did it, it might be overkill, but there was some
engineering reason behind it.
My dealer doesn't, and he stores hundreds of boats over the
winter for customers. Mostly larger boats, too.
I can think of a few reasons. The tires will develop flat spots
over time. That happens with our
vehicles in Florida over the summer while we're gone. It takes
a few
weeks of driving around before they go away.
Another traditional reason is security. It is much more
difficult to
steal a trailer and boat if there are no wheels on the trailer.
It's even harder if all the stored boats are locked up in an
active fenced storage facility where no one is allowed to move
boats except dealership employees, and there's a watchman. It's a
huge facility, and the grounds outside the boatyard has a number
of other high value clients. Oh, and there's a watchman service.
This is not your average mom and pop boatstore operation.
Yep - keep on thinking that.
With all those other boats, why would someone mess with a LTP?
;)
It's mildly funny when Shortpants Tom says this, but when a boating
numnutz like you does, it just makes you look dumber than usual.
Your comments, after all, are based on what? Your imaginary trips
across the dangerous waters of Lake Lanier?
Harry,
This was not suppossed to set you off, it was a little joke, since
you seem to like the same joke made by SWS, Eisboch, and numerous
others, I didn't think it was **** you off.
I do have to tell you I really don't have any imaginary boating
experience, all of my are real.
Sure, Reggie. Just like all your 50 IDs here are real.
Yes, they are just as real as HK, SWS, JimH, Eisboch or any others.

Everyone knows my real name, just as they know Tom's real name and just
about everyone else's real name here. The one posters who work so hard
at remaining anonymous are the a**holes like you.- Hide quoted text -

It is suggested by just about everyone in the industry that you try to
remain anonymous in usenet.


Is that the Usenet industry or do you have some other sources to cite?

Got to have been a Smithers. We stayed in Smithers, BC, Canada last year.
