Oh.  :-[

And there's vandermelon.

aquariuswb right
aquariusweb wrong

Sometimes, the name is just so long and complex to read at a glance that I don't bother remembering them at all. For example, I end up reading one of them as lukandnfbvjlldf.  :D

Re "donaldopato".  I am a bit dyslexic or something, and I was thinking Donald Potato for quite some time, as the opening post referred to the name.  When I finally saw the name properly, I wondered if the name was Donald O'Pato or Donaldo Pato.  Donaldopato, come on down and tell me which it is! ;)

Coincidence.

I have pondered over Chosen Barley as a name, a reference to beermaking or to Korea under Japanese rule?
Or an anagram? Charley Bones?
'

Good try, but no.  I have a son who was playing on his XBox online.  He mentioned that one player's gamer tag was "Chosen Barley".  Well, maybe there is something wrong with us, but we found this hilarious and so I decided to use it for my screen name.  Probably the original Chosen Barley was thinking about beer.  Young fellers 'n all. 

Korea under Japanese rule?  I don't understand.

What are talking about, man?! Ubloobideega invented Python in his sleep!
Not only that, but he invented C++ as well (one day he took a crap and that crap turned into Bjarne Stroustrup).
The only reason why he doesn't invent fully immersive virtual reality is that he wants to see humans kill each other off... because, he's, ya know, kinda evil.
