Renaming competition
To disable ads, please log-in.
Now that I have a brand new bike, and am also about to leave Wisconsin, somebody suggested that I need a new screen name. I replied with an offer of 5 bags of sport beans to whoever comes up with the winning suggestion for my new name. Thought I'd better get that offer out from where it was hidden down in page 2 of another thread. So here it is:
RULES: Enter as often as you like.
JUDGE: Me, but I may put up some finalists for a vote.
DEADLINE: Initial suggestions should be in this thread by June 15. That gives another week for the judge to select finalists for the runoff vote before I leave WI.
PRIZE: 5 small bags of sport beans -- mix of flavours or choose your favorites.
ELIGIBLE: everybody, including myself. But if I win, then the runner-up gets the sport beans.
some HELPFUL HINTS: I have a nickname "Duck" which is a pun on my real name pronounced in Norwegian. I'm old and slow. I have two red bikes, both Treks. Also a red car, red house, red-haired daughter (son too, though his red is just highlights in the brown), red-diaper background, work as a professor. ... That should give folks enough to play around with.Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Good start! I forgot to mention I grew up on a chicken farm (but we had White Italian laying hens).

Shouldn't a person who suggested to you to change name get a prize for creativity?

How about... "duck in red" or "trekkin' red duck" or "red red red" or ...nope - that's all I have for now. I'll have to think about this some more. This is fun

RidesLikeADuck (and I mean that in the most friendly way possible!)
Or, instead of Bikeless, what about BikeMore?
(Ok - the wheels are really turning now...
)
Keep calm and carry on...
