Some are self explanatory, some are a bit more cryptic. Mine, for example, comes from the name of the penguin in Bloom County, my favorite comic strip growing up.

When I was a child, I designed and built a Model Rocket which I named "Regulus" after the brightest star in Leo (My Astrological sign) In 1978 I sent the plans to Estes, and It won their "Design of the Month" award, which I used to buy a years supply of rocket engines. :D That rocket now dangles on a Mobile with three other rockets I designed that also won this award as well. :thumbsup:

PS. I'm NOT into astrology!

Penny Lane

Penny Lane is the title of a Beatles song. The song is about a street in Liverpool,England named Penny Lane


While the song is called "Penny Lane" and is a road in Liverpool, the song is really a reference to the Penny Lane Bus Station (now gone) next to "The shelter in the middle of the roundabout" (now the Sgt. Peppers bistro). When the boys were young they used to meet at this bus station as it was a hub to get them anywhere else they wanted to go and was centrally located to all of them. :)

I'm a huge fan of bad horror flicks, and a huge fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000. One of my favorite episodes was when they watched the 1966 schlockfest Manos: The Hands Of Fate, featuring the character Torgo.

My current avatar pic is a puppet version of Torgo.

It's not after the ghost ship that dooms anyone to eternal damnation upon seeing it.. I like to fly small planes and ultralights. Also I am part dutch. Hence my name. I just use the avatar because I think the ship looks so cool.

At one point (and sometimes even to today), I feel like the city I live in which is...of course...Cleveland!...

http://www.bneiakiva.org/uploads/_galil/bbsbhbp45fo8um79gd9rawzcn3cwt.jpg

The city had a dismal moment between 1969 and 1979 when it was called "Mistake on the Lake", even though we went through The Cleveland Renaissance (1980-2001) and The Poverty Years (2002-2008), we still have our sports teams that have 51 years of futility. And I sometimes feel like my city...getting the shaft...the Mr part is...because I'm a male so it's self-explanatory!

Unless you are very very young or are from another planet my screen name "Penny Lane" is the name of a very famous Beatles song of the same name. Also, Penny Lane is an actual street in Liverpool England.:)

Because i'm a fan of Mark Labbett and also a fan of The Chase my name means The Beast in Spanish and I thought it would be a awesome name because I also heard the Spanish word for beast in a Spanish television show and I decided that would be my name. As for my nickname Bestie is cool and even though some people including my mom mispronounce it as Betsy it's a really cute nickname and it also means best friend too

OH Nuts!

OH Nuts! = I started watching VHS sets of The Advertures Of Ozzie And Harriet, and after eight eps was smitten with the show. I vowed to collect as many eps as possible. I realized I was nuts about the show. So the "O" stands for Ozzie, the "H" for Harriet and I'm "Nuts" over the show......so.....putting it all together "OH Nuts!"

I found this board by chance. Back in 2008 I was looking for a place to post about Seinfeld with other fanatics and I came across Sitcomsonline while doing a google search. I chose Schmoopie as my screen name b/c in the episode "The Soup Nazi", Jerry and his girlfriend call each other Schmoopie and I thought it was hilarious. I have been thinking about changing my username but it's been so long now that I think I'll just keep it. It's too much trouble to change it.
