    Good now I can copy and paste..



    Well my name... obvious enough... I'm a man and I majored in music playing trumpet.



    The most annoying thing about my handle is that people ask "Do you really play trumpet?"



    I mean I could understand if it were some supercool ability, superpower, or even personality trait that we all wish for... something like Ninja, Hyponotic boy, or something like that...



    but desperately longing...to play trumpet? Please...



    So to answer... yes I do.

    So if the Mod Gods can wave their magic wands to do that.. I would pleezed no end...

    Damn, I was sure that being able to play a musical instrument was sign of being a super-spy or assassin!

    But where is the "e"???? Why forget such a crucial letter?



    "CosmoNut" is what I thought of after "Cosmo" was already taken ("Cosmo" is a cool name and representative of several things that I like). I said, "Hmm, I'm kind of a nut. How about CosmoNut?" It worked and that's what I am.



    It really has nothing to do with Russian space explorers or any crazy obsession with things out of this world. It's just "Cosmo" with a "Nut" on the end.

    Well lets see. I chose my name from the codename of my first mac: Performa 636 CD; plus the fact that I used to endlessly Crusade for my computing platform of choice. My AIM name is even Showbiz630, one of the othercode names.

    No however it is a sign of having an incredibly long and thick schlong.

    I think I had applied here previously and had just forgotten my password. Likewise whenever I ran into other places that for one reason or another didn't have a trumpetman available, dropping the "e" always got me in.

    on NewsRradio the character of lisa miller (maura tierney) was despondent that her career was not on the accelerated path of her brothers, her boss/boyfriend dave nelson (dave foley) asks what her brother's did. one she said invented "some video game....superkaratemonkeydeathcar, or something like that"

    to which dave nelson (who used a powerbook 165) says, "oh wow i love superkaratemonkeydeathcar!"



    it was later used in another episode where station owner jimmy james (stephen root) character's failed autobiography was translated into japanese then back to english with hilarious results.

    Very funny. Do you listen to Korn's A.D.I.D.I.S. a lot?



    I wasn't allowed to post as os10geek anymore, so my that my post content is os10geek's, but my name isn't. But then I made my name the opposite of that, just to confuse people.

    How I miss the hot weather...Here it was snowing and blowing a gale...yep..Australia..its not meant to snow..just sunny..every day..( that's what the tourist board tries to tell the world... bloody liars.....

    Because '709' was as close to '970' as I was comfortable with without blowing my NDAs and Top-Secret Apple Mole? status.

    My 'handle' is after a RPG (called rogue of course) I played on Unix in the late 80's. My friends and I spent hours on Saturdays in the computer lab competing to see who could make it the furthest. I was the best (or luckiest) player and played the game to completion in three character classes, which is not easy to do.



    My current desire is to rewrite the game as a Java application in my continuing efforts to learn the language. I'm half done, but it has taken a couple of years because I have very little free time.

    Actually...nope. I don't own that song.



    In case you missed it..I was joking. OS X Addict...addicted to OS X.



    I have had a few names here. I am just too lazy to get a new, simpler one. If I could, I would change it to JohnR. Perhaps someone (a mod perhaps? ) could change it for me? thanks!
