I really need to see Donnie Darko. LOL, I'd never even heard of it till I started coming to the BBM board.

Thanks for this confession, cmr, makes me feel less alone in this case.

I love Office Space, but I've only seen it once a long time ago so I can't quote lines with you guys... :'( I recognize the ones you're saying, but can't come up with any on my own.



Court - let's set a date - I've got Office Space on DVD.  Hope on a train or get in your car, and come here this weekend, and we'll enjoy the sadly true reality of Office Space.  I'll invite Andrew too - c'mon.  You know you want to.  

Anyone else?  I don't know if I want to watch the BBM DVD with anyone.  I prefer silence and solitude when I'm with My Boys, but Office Space is better with a bigger audience.

Mine is Front-Ranger because I live on the Front Range of Colorado and love it here. I hope u realise the Rockies are the same range as in Wyoming AND Alberta.

DavidinHartford?    because "EnnisinRiverton" was taken already!   LOL.

But seriously,   back in my old AOL days I used to have clever screen names.  But as my hobbies or interests changed, so would my screen name.   Eventually it just became a nuisance.   I eventually just started using my real name and city.  Now my friends have no trouble identifying my emails!! 

You'd still be amazed at how many ask me where I live!    LOL   :P

It is only recently that I saw you were in the US; I always thought you were in the UK, somewhat of a neighbour to me!

Wow! No, I didn't realize that, I'm none too strong on American geography! That is cool.
I thought it had something to do with Annie Proulx's collection of short stories: 'Close Range'.

I picked my name because I happen to be a Libra, and I'm probably the Libra-est Libran that ever Libra-ed. If there are two sides to a story, I'll probably be able to see a third side  :P. Although from what he's written, Ray might give me a run for my money here.

I'm so gratified to see other Office Space fans.  I love every moment of that movie. 

I loved the movie so much that I made sure to get a red stapler for my office, to show solidarity for Milton. Although I'm nowhere near the breaking point that poor Milton is. And everybody in the office knows not to mess with my stapler! ;D

Wow, go the libras, I am one too but I am not that library(LOL it looks like the place where you get books, but you know what I mean!) ;D

My name is very simple.......Becky cause that is my real name! Ahh the simpleness! Not Rebecca, Becky! I always got called Rebecca in lower school cause one of my teachers asked my if my name was Rebecca and she asked in such a way that she confused me and I said yes. So when I was 5 I kept getting called Rebecca until I actually corrected someone.
I used to be bx_is_da_best on IMDb, which led to a few confusions which are better not discussed cause it is so hard to explain it all. But the basis was that BX is a nickname for the Bronxs in New York and then that led people to believe that I was from the bronx and etc, etc.

Any way it has been fun to learn about all of your nicknames, I feel I know you all much more now, so thanks! :-*

I love you Ray, you make me laugh by posting one word! :-*
Here I am trying to explain everything about my name with a little anecdote and there you are just typing one word, and it is more effective than my whole explanation! ;D

Ray.

A drop of golden sun...


How I chose my name - I have always loved the LMNO run in the alphabet.  I like that it's been shortened to Elle, by Y'alle.
