truncheon came about when a friend and i, long ago when we worked the late shift in the tv control room of a horse track, were bored and decided to create a 'fake' punk band. we came up with album titles, songs, the whole nine yards. thus the imaginary punk band 'truncheon' was born. then realized there was another 'fake' punk band with the same name from the US, so we rebranded our original band 'truncheon u.k.', to differentiate from the US truncheon. at one point, when my friend moved to LA, he went so far as to recruit some musicians to put a few of our fake song titles to actual music/lyrics.

After that, i used 'team truncheon' as my geocaching handle for myself and my kids when we cache, and i've used the moniker 'truncheon' elsewhere online.

i have no avatar yet, as i've not found a good one fitting for ECF...

Blk-Black is my favorite color
Wolf-Favorite Anaimal for many reasons (including a vison quest that I saw a wolf in the moonlight)
Midnight-I hide in shadows a lot as said by a friend of mine, I can be elusive in life.
Avatar-Fits what I saw in the vision quest...closely

Thats pretty much it on that one.

Big Met fan here, from NY. This is the name that I have used on NY Mets baseball forums since 2004, which was David Wright's first year with the team, so it just stuck. Always representing my (usually lousy) local baseball team.

(plus, its easier to remember, since I have been using it for so long)

Mine is simply my favorite song by my favorite band. When I wanted to use it on a music forum long ago, it was taken so I added my house number to the end. The " i " in "gimmie" was on the original album Let It Bleed and the song is also been referred to as Gimme Shelter.

I like the version with the i . One last thing, I'm such a Rolling Stones geek that I have two "tongue" clocks in my man cave, both perpetually set to 7:35 in reference to that time mentioned in one of their songs. A gold star to whomever knows what song that is :).

Don'cha think we need a woman's touch to make it come alive?
