Your Chosen Title

I change my title when I change my avatar. Leinenkugel's is a small brewery here in the Midwest that makes several beers. They have a part of their website for aficinados like myself called The Leinie Lodge. My avatar is *cough* *cough* borrowed *cough* *cough* from that part of the website, so I figured I'd combine that with a "Flintstones" reference. Fred and Barney were members of a lodge called the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes. Their leader was called the Grand Poo-Bah.

Of course, the Grand Pooh-Bah (Lord High Everything Else) is a character in Gilbert and Sullivans Mikado. Among his titles are First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chief Justice, Commander-in-Chief, Lord High Admiral, Master of the Buckhounds, Groom of the Back Stairs, Archbishop of Titipu, and Lord Mayor, both acting and elect.

As for my title, it changes with my whim as well. All have been terms from Finnish history and legend. Vainamoinen was a bard and wizard in Finnish legend.

I just changed mine to something that better reflects who I am. Since I enjoy gardening, and feel I'm fairly good at it, I've decided to be the king of the plant world. Since I am a former Penn State Master Gardener, I also added the Master of the garden.

Mine will probably change on a whim, too.

I've chosen my title due to the years I spent in the study of weapons. During the time I was a student of Shaolin weapon training was required. Open hand technique, Staff, tri-staff, knife, sword, Saber, Spear, Butterfly Swords, and other weapons or arms. I have also learned the use of modern weapons, all to a high degree of proficiency.

My most favorite wine is the 1997 Mondavi Cabernet Stags Leap District (SLD). I keep locating a few here and there on the wine auction and I put them away in the wine cellar. Problem is, I raid the cellar on occasion and drink one.

The price is beginning to get a bit steep ($85-$95 a bottle) and much harder to find these days. I may have to start stockpiling the 2001, since that was a better year than 97.

So are you drinking some of that fine wine now? LOL!

No, I'm drinking a cabernet from Cherry Valley Winery in Pennsylvania, near Bethlehem. It's not in the league of Mondavi but it ain't bad. I'm sure I'll stop again and pick up more, when we all meet in Bethlehem in 3 weeks.

By the way Dale, it's still not to late to come to Bethlehem. I'm breaking out some of my special bottles for those who show up at the hotel.

I have to have a reason for my title?

NO way!

Of course you need no reason, mi'lady! We were just curious about some of the other titles. You know how we commoners are!

Since I'm the Queen in my mind ( and there isn't alot there these days) I will bequeth thee with my reason's when I get done sliding down the bar...

ooops, who moved the royal cushion for the royal tush to land on? OK, Maisky what did you do with my cushion?

I teach computer literacy at a K-8 Catholic school in San Antonio. We are a poor school, so I teach, maintain the server, manage the lab, maintain computers, and fix the minor problems that occur. This summer we got a grant to replace the old computers taht I had hobbled together. However, those computers are in the hands of teachers and will probibly need more attention. As for the pusher part, I am a cyclist. Pedaling keeps me fit.

Well, here I am: Lord of Catfish and Grits

I was born and raised in the southern USA and proud of my ancestry. Catfish and grits are both common foods down here, and we Southerners are many times stereotyped because of our fondness for a common river bottom-feeder. Grits, likewise, are very common food for us poor farmers.

Please note that it is quite acceptable to serve BOTH catfish and grits for breakfast - or any other meal for that matter.

O'siyo gaberlunzie,

You will never stop learning, none of us will until we depart from Mother Earth..I wish you much peace and many blessings as you travel your journey here on Mother Earth.. And I wish for you to have many grand-children to share all your knowledge with!

I don't want to miss to thank you for your kind words, freekenny! Mother Earth is good to her children; and once I've learnt to listen it's an enjoyable journey.
Many blessings to you as well!
May you always walk in peace.

Well like I said Gypsy Queen is the nickname my father gave me and an artist is what I would love to be. So it's not hard to follow, but it is interesting to hear about others
