Pretty simple for me, I have a Macintosh and I'm a Guy.

I've had the nickname for a good few years now, and used to have the address macguy@hotmail.com..... hard to get any kind of hotmail address without having to put a million numbers in it nowadays.

Of course da' Mook wouldn't do something like that. At least not on purpose...
Mookie wouldn't do it, cause there is only one way to clean it off and La Mook doesn't digest floor wax at all! [tdn]

First of all I find it quite hard to find a screen name that I like and once I do like a name, I have to make sure that its not already taken, which with my luck, it usually is.

So I just went the simple route. As you can see, my name is Steve and the WI part in my name stands for where I live and thats in Wisconsin.

Was working as a machinist for the UP in 1999. Marrage went to hell at the sane time. I moved in with my sister and her and her friend logged me on the computer and this is what they came up with.[:D]
One night after work I logged on , and much to my suprise I had a bunch of e-mails from a personal ad. My sis and her friend ran the ad and thought it was hilarious. [}:)] [8D]

Mookie licks hers - that way they don't get sore.....


Most of the patients we see can't reach their feet, let alone lick them. [:P]

I might have to bring Mookie in as an alternative therapy consultant to at least give them that option. What would a reasonable salary look like for Mookie? Double layer chocolate fudge cake per consult?

triple layer dark chocolate cake with raspberry/chocolate ganauche.....[yeah]

Posted by Dr.Fu-Manchu on Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:27 AM
[}:)] Well, I was starting to shop on E-Bay in the late 90's and since I was a stage
magician I figured to use the name of a famous magician. He was playing the role
of a chinese magician that spoke bad spanish. He was famous in south america.
Things were fine till someone else contacted me and said he was using "Fu-Manchu"
for the same reason. So, I added the "Dr" to the handle and then the name was of a
evil chinese fellow in the Sax Romer books. In fact, a fellow that I bought a CDRom from
understood the reference to the evil Dr. The first one since I started using it. Due to a
medical condition(heart problem) I can't do my stage act. But, at some point I may use
my screen name for a stage show. Till then, I play with my Lionel Trains and visit my
friends at the Golden Gate Railroad Musuem In San Francisco, Ca. For my full scale
fix. [swg]

Well as long as anyone can remember i have loved trains, hence the "Train". I'm a guy... so theres your "Guy". Although many people who first meet me think the "3" means the third Train Guy, it doesn't. I added the 3 after the death of Dale Earnhardt in 2001.
