[Hagbard Celine]

Character from
The Illuminatus! Trilogy.

"The most thoroughly and relentlessly d*mned, banned, excluded, condemned, forbidden, ostracized, ignored, suppressed, repressed, robbed, brutalized and defamed of all d*mned Things is the individual human being. The social engineers, statisticians, psychologists, sociologists, market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry, bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing this d*mned Thing into carefully prepared blueprints and perpetually irritated that the d*mned Thing will not fit into the slot assigned it. The theologians call it a sinner and try to reform it. The governor calls it a criminal and tries to punish it. the psychologist calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it. Still, the d*mned Thing will not fit into their slots.

[G. Ringo]

I think that Gregor is a pretty name for a grub. It alliterates nicely, and it expresses hope of metamorphosing into a big beetle.

[frummie]

In yiddish, this means "a religious person". My WC handle is frum613. The 613 is how many commandments can be derived from the Pentateuch.

[Patience]

you know the Bill Cosby routine where he thought his name was d*mn-it & his brother was Jesus Christ.

Well in the last days of the old forum Traci was explaiming Patience to us so much I started thinking it was my name.
