And that is how I got tagged with "Boosting Ruler Sales."

I was actually very thankful, as it replaced a title that needed to be explained.

Interesting story CoolToolGuy... Now how about the title it replaced ?? You can share that one too, can't you?

Never, never use your POTN title for an unintended purpose

Funny story! Can you help me use that discount too? 20% off breakfast sounds about right

my sons think we are speaking Canonese.

A good and appropriate pun from your sons! I started to learn Mandarin a few months ago... I'm sourrounded by Chinese guys that work in my lab! I'm a minority in the country I was born in! I can sortof speak a few words and one sentence... Don't ask me to write anything down though!

I think because I have red hair. [...] At least they called me lady! I suppose it could have been much worse!

Oh yes, I'm sure it could've! You ended up with something elegant and classy! Lucky you!


Alright people, keep them coming! And thanks to those who already shared!!

I guess i'm not cool enough for a slick title!

Considering my age and Avatar I think I'll leave well enough alone.

So little is really known about me and I know so little, I'm quite safe from the "Title Fairies" (there is more than one, you know).

It's bad enough I have to buy "PhotosGuy" coffee just to keep him from screwing with my Avatar again. It started out as a pretty decent shot.

I'm still waiting for a title... guess I haven't done anything quite silly enough yet...

Think I'd like mine left alone too. Even though mine isn't. Gold that is.

how do you change those titles? i want mine changed to "asks to many questions" cause i usually ask to many questions.

Thanks for finding that CDS. I was dreading the thought of wading through all those posts in search of the place where I got my new moniker.

"Goldmember" just showed up yesterday, because I hit the 2K limit, promoted from Sr. Member. No title, not in the clique. I was going to lobby for Tareq and I for titles, thinking anyone with over 2K posts "earned" something.

All you earn is goldmember. anything else is more punishment.

I'm positive I've posted this before, but it all started here...

Months later I would go on to exclaim "I'm the guy who invented Man-Panties!" for some reason. I think it was on the"All Ye..." thread somewhere. Can't remember where it was exactly. Anyway, no sooner after I said that WHAM!, that title stuck to me like wet toilet paper on a tennis shoe.

We were watching TV and I made the comment "hey that dude looks like he's wearing manties". My wife asked what the hell I was talking about and I had to go into this long explanation. Now I probably need to explain to her we do actually talk about cameras and stuff here occasionally.

You never get to pick your own! The title fairy seems to hone in on crazy comments people say such as " I love fish sticks! " Boom, next thing you know, you are "fish stick man!" Half the fun is never knowing what or when it will happen. I keep my dumb comments to a minimum so I don't get noticed.

I do stuff like that too! I get the weirdest looks, which get worse after I try to explain something like that.

These are all awesome stories. Its just like sitting at a camp fire, where everyone shares their shameful stories... wait, that was rehab.

Sorry, Carry on !!...
