Seussian, short for.: "Little Tessa-Lou Who, who was no more than two."


My family is big on nicknames, including adding "Lou" to the end of any name within mocking distance. The Who part is an addition of my sister's that she'd use on occasion, since I am the smallest Who in all of Whoville. I've been tessawho since I got online in the bad old days.

Hell, even Tessa is a nickname, though I've gone by it for years now IRL .

I actually got off easy, considering I have relatives nicknamed Bud, Daisy, Rocky, Buck, Tootsie, and Doc. (No Happy, Dopey, Sleazy, or Grumpy, though most of these describe my brother...)

sweetkristine, I think you should keep your name, it's different enough from the other!

tessa - i loved the origin of your name...maybe b/c i love dr. seuss so much...but your family sounds like mine. if you aren't insulting, you simply aren't loving. we mock each other constantly and had to learn to be quick witted or we'd get it from all sides.

i love your profile name now that i know what it means!!!!

"girl" cause i am one.
"single" cause that's my status at present.
"malt" cause it's what i like to drink (the "single malt" works well together to explain what i like to drink even better...)


That's a very clever name. I LOVE single malt whiskies and cannot wait to go to Scotland again to visit more distilleries.

"Komet155" comes from my car's nickname (komet also means shooting star in German) and 155 is because the car is a Volkswagen Cabriolet which is a "type 155" chassis vehicle.

Only a dub geek like me would know that.

>>>>>>>> Single Malt Girl you're a hottie. I bet you're also quite spicy! YUM!

I was going to ask you the same thing.

awesome....gives a whole new meaning to "treasure trail" doesn't it?

I've only been to the Glenkinchie and Glengoyne distilleries... one was just outside of Edinburgh and one outside of Glasgow.

Think of every association to "Frrosty" that you could imagine.

the only one i can think of is "frosty the snowman" - so you mean to say that you are:
- a jolly happy soul
- smoke a corncob pipe
- have a button nose
- and 2 eyes made out of coal?!?!?!

komet - yes, it was a treasure trail. fortunately, i was still standing on the second night. i loved the smell of the oak casks and the peat. i'm not a fan of the really peaty malts like lagavulin. too smoky for me.

have you tried one from the isle of mcarran? it's a new distillery and i only found a bottle in the uk (you can't buy it here....)

I went through a lot of screen names in the early internet years. Then the online life stopped for some years. I came back a year and a half ago with "katyz24".

"Kat" is not my name but rather a reflection of the animal I love and feel identified with. I've also been called a viper, so go figure lol. My first profile pictures in other websites were kitties, so many online friends started calling me "Katz".
The complete name actually means "cat is 24" since I was 24 at that time. So I got rid of the 24 part when I signed on to POF.
Not very original, but it's grown on me.

SingleMaltGirl-

No, I've not heard of the new one from Isle of McArran. Are you certain it's not Isle of Arran? I have been to Arran (off thw west coast of Scotland) and they were going to restart a distillery there....

Peaty is ok, but I dont like the ones that are too briney tasting (such as Bowmore).

The coolest thing about the Glenkinchie Distillery is that it's part of a network of single malt producers so I got to sample around 8 different whiskies from all over Scotland. Afterwards, I hobbled over to the bus stop and barely recall the ride back to the city.

I also love the smell of distilleries and of fortified wine producing places (I don't know what they're called...wineries?). If you go to southern Spain make sure you visit some of the Sherry houses in Jerez de la Frontera.

When I got dragged kicking, screaming and jelly-legged to POF, I needed a screen name. My kicking ass girlfriend is very much into faery tales, so when I left if to her to find me a name, she decided I needed to be a woodland nymph.

Ainsel means 'Ownself'.
