| Explaining the origin of your profile name.... Posted: 10/16/2005 12:39:29 PM | | Maybe ya'll can help me with mine. Google won't do you any good, though. I took Old English Lit in school, and in the glossary at the back of a reference book lent to me by one of my professors, the word wergund was defined as "protector". Years later, I returned the book to my esteemed professor (I don't think I should put her name on the net,don't even know if she's still alive.) And now I can't find a reference to it Anywhere! Have tried old Germanic, Norwegian, the gamut...if anybody can help me substantiate the claim that my name means protector, I'll buy you a beer or maybe even two. Help Wergund! | |

Serendipitee in a nutshell: good luck in making unexpected and fortunate discoveries; the art of discovering something unexpected while searching for something else entirely; happy chance, blessing, destiny, synchronicity, karma, providence, coincidence, accident, kismet, fate, disclosure, happenstance, opportunity, treasure trove, whatever comes, windfall. Do you feel serendipitous today? | |

1. It's the name of the older of my two horses (the one in this picture)
2. It's Elvish (Lord of the Rings) for "run swiftly" (which is not a suggestion for the guys. It's just my horses name because he was meant to be an Endurance Racehorse. I've since changed my mind on that) | |

TorturedGardener--I LOVED that excerpt/quote!
Garf --Bless you and your little one! I laughed out loud when I read where your name came from! Makes perfect sense, now! | |

| Explaining the origin of your profile name.... Posted: 10/17/2005 3:20:11 PM | My name came about from a series of events:
First by grabbing silverware throwing it up into the air and rhyming part of my name to the sounds which spoons and forks make when hitting the wood floor.
The next thing was to listen to the sound of a barking dog and incorporate that somehow into my name.
Went up to a panhandler and asked him to draw one of three names from my baseball cap.
And finally used rejected birth name ideas which my mom was about to give me. (bless her heart).  | |

Living the life of a Nomad.......

| Explaining the origin of your profile name.... Posted: 10/20/2005 2:17:56 PM | Dallasguy= Outside of Bologna there is a town called Marzabotto, and nearby is an Etruscan ruin complex. Found at that site was a cavern that contained a large box made from a metal unknown to modern science. After many years of studying the box, the Italian government decided to open the box, which was sealed from all sides and contained no known seams. The box was open, which took a team of metallurgists three years and many hours of studying the metal at an atomic level to actually open the box. Inside they found a small note engraved on a bronze mirror, written in Raetic (which is clearly known to be related to the Etruscan language, but found most predominantly in the Alps) and had a likeness of someone that looked exactly like me.
The note said that the person on the mirror was 'pretty cool' and his name was 'Dallasguy'.
I added the '99' because I thought it was awesome.
