Nick's, Nicknames and Internet Handles

Whay are you called Limbo?

[limbo]

After a conversation with Paynt after her resignation as a mod we talked about my nickname: Limbo. I told here that a wise barman in a town in Tanzania gave me the nick. He said that until I had found what I was looking for I should use the name Limbo.

He had me sussed. :)

Also East Africans sometimes abbreviate a name and add an Ba(woman)or Bo(man) to the front of the christian name. In my case Liam became, very appropriately, Limbo. the kenyan Kym we stayed with was known as Kimba and her son Timbo.

So this has got me wondering why and how you chose your Nick's here @ WW and if at any time you had a nickname why you got it and has it stuck?

[cminblues]

Pretty simple I think..
C - minor - blues
[and joking about my weak (not _really_ so, now, I hope..) C skills]

Of course, a tribute to the wonderful J. Hendrix 1970
London Royal Albert Hall concert, specifically the so-called
'people-people-people' or 'bleeding heart'
[Elmore James's standard. played by Hendrix in C minor]

[requiem]

In my old job I used to listen to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
while I was working so people started to call me
"Requiem".

[edit_g]

I used to be a collector. I went to peoples homes and kindly ask them to pay up when they didn't settle their bills in time. I do not ever, ever want to go back to that.

I guess I can see you pulling up in a white van with Mozart's Requiem blaring out the windows to tell some poor sod they haven't paid their bills. ;)
