Whats in a Name

Being overweight IS `awful`.

Hey Grumpy, ever since I joined this forum I've been puzzling who might be hiding behind your handle, and now the pieces of the puzzle are coming together. Ol' 'enry the VIIIth incarnate it's got to be! Anyone else thinks I might be on to something? Cheers.

Leif is a norse name meaning descendant. I'm proud of where i came from: Celts, Finns, Germanics, heathens, Americans.

Runenritzer is German for rune-carver. I'm always scribbling down things in runes (Fuþorc, specifically) using an etymological and phonetic spelling.

Would it be proper if I ask Abhijeet the origins of " mundaire" ? After many Yes and No, I finally decided to search in Google; about a year ago. The closest I reached I can remember is something resembling " French Priest".

Good that that you finally clarified it.

As for ' what is in a name ' , it might matter sometime. There is a user by name ' Sniper' to whom I had to send an AirPistol.
He asked me to contact his friend who was to be in Hyderabad at that time. As I was unaware of Sniper's real name, I called his friend and began...." Sniper has asked me to contact you and deliver you an Air Pistol.......". He ( the friend) was so freaked out that he refused to reveal his name, questioned me extensively and refused to do the deal.

The deal is stuck till this day.

Well, I added an extra "e" at the end as when I first signed up on AOL in 1997 the handle "mundair" was already taken ;)

For me I wanted to create a handle using my name. Damn Rahul is so common that I would not even get rahul 500 ...lol

I was like frustrated while it asked me to change my handle... so i just typed Rhandle out of desperation and it clicked and stayed on ;)
Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, “It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.”
