65.0. "What's in a name..." by PCBUOA::DEWITT (chasing rainbows...) Sun May 11 1997 03:08

    	Ever wonder where people get their notes, or mail personal names? 
    
    	I change my mail pn daily, usually its from a song I heard on my 
    way in to work, I think once I used a phrase that wasn't from a song.
    
    	One day this week I used a line from Inconsolable off Jonatha Brooke 
    & The Story - "There is no mystery to be revealed...". 
    
    	Posted the song a few minutes ago.  Yeah yeah I know and you know 
    that tape has been stuck in my car's tapedeck for months and I finally 
    got the CD 2 weeks ago.   
    
    	What's your favorite personal name and where'd you get it from?
    
    joyce

When I note from BUSY::SLAB I have a .COM file that changes my 
p_n hourly ... most of them are lyrical snippets, some are sort of 
amusing little phrases, etc.

I don't know how to get .COM files to work with NetNotes, so I use 
the ever-popular "e-mail address p_n".

    	I've heard rumors there's a similar capability for Exchange, sure
    hope its true - 'cause I'll miss being able to have a pn and change it
    daily.
    
    
    	"some are sort of amusing little phrases, etc."
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Shawn - its the "etc." ones that worry me :-)

Remember that Exchange doesn't get you into NOTES.  It's 
separate.

           Shawn are you *ever* gonna let me live that one down? :-)

a not so idle threat.
65.6MRPTH1::16.34.80.132::slab[email protected]Mon May 12 1997 12:126
Joyce, it's not like you said something stupid ... I figured I'd let 
you know that they were not related.

This time I was just making sure that you remembered.

65.7PCBUOA::DEWITTchasing rainbows...Mon May 12 1997 12:183
    	Why thanks Shawn...

    :-)
    
    Joyce.. what a question. My favorite personal name was "HEDGEHOG" but I
    really can't (won't) say why. Second favorite was "Face of a sinner"
    from the Sting song Moon Over Bourbon Street because of a tshirt a
    friend made for me.

    Years ago I saw someone's that I've always liked..
    
    "Frankly Scallop, I don't give a clam".   ;->
    
    My own is from a Led Zepplin song.  When I worked third shift,
    I used to have Midnight Writer for a while.  
    
    "Crazy Ways are Evident" came about back in my wilder days and
    it has still just stuck.  I've changed it a couple of times, but
    always gone back.  I prefer keeping something I feel attached to
    rather than change at whim.

RE: .11

Yup, I saw that movie and recognized the p_n.

The movie was a riot at times.  8^)

65.15Mine comes from my competitive roadracing days WRKSYS::BROWERPokey SmurfTue May 13 1997 08:5110
          Mine comes from 1988-1992. I used to run roadraces regularly and
    as some of you allready know I'm a real featherweight... Used to enjoy
    lining up for a race against college kids.. You could see them looking 
    around sizing up the competition ;-).. Hmm the slender bald headed guy
    never got a 2nd look until after 2 or 3 miles they were eating my dust.
    Hence the term Pokey Smurf which I wasn't. It was just the perception 
    of others that didn't know me :-) 
          So now you know the quiet wallflower has an ego ;-)

    	My notes pn is from a Shania Twain song, I occasionally change
    that, but only when the mood really strikes...
    
    joyce
65.17AXEL::FOLEYRebel without a ClueTue May 13 1997 10:417
	Mine comes from an old Moonlighting episode. I think it was
	the Taming of the Shrew episode. I cracked up when I heard
	it because it fit so well at the time. I was a late blooming
	rebel at the time, totaly clueless and I knew it. :)

    that too, Mike.
