Okay, if the truth must be told, my screen name comes from the greatest motor vehicle ever created....the International Scout II. IHC stands for International Harverster Corporation (they make schoolbuses and big rigs under the name of Navistar now), and the SSII stands for Super Scout II, which is a modified version of the Scout II. I'll try to insert a pic...[/img]
Well....
c stands for the note that I use a thumb hole for on my whistles
ski is of course-ski the suffix Weekenders adds to everything-ski
nn stands for the Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction, reflecting my little hobby in nuclear physics
--and--
er is the symbol for my favorite element, erbium.

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Scouts! What a great vehicle--could climb trees in four low, and nigh indestructable as I remember. It had style, too. Almost as cool as the old Toyota land cruisers (before they went big time and became transport for eco-yuppies).ihc_ssii wrote:Okay, if the truth must be told, my screen name comes from the greatest motor vehicle ever created....the International Scout II.

I grew up riding around the badlands and mountains beside my dad, first in a landcruiser, and then in a Scout--that thing could go just about anywhere! Death on wheels to find parts for, though...

The short version is that I got my nick from Jenny Mayweather. Nobody wants to hear the long version again...

Robin Williamson wrote of the ancient Irish, "Their word for it was feadan (modern Gaelic feadog) and feadanaigh, or whistle players are mentioned in the earliest Irish laws as being amongst those who played at fairs, games and gatherings". Feadan was also a brand of whistle made in Ireland many years ago.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps. - Location: Lefse country
Speaking as one for whom God created calculators, I can't pretend to any meaning in my moniker; it came to me while letting a screen-name composer engine do the work --nice, with usually surreal results, but somehow unsatisfying. Then: Eureka! From the swampy murk of my wetware it arose, and its absurdity was just the ticket.
I envisioned some kind of hypospatial geometry...a nanohedron being a bombastic term for a point, as it were. And the point? There is none, but in theory.
BTW, is anyone noticing a substantial slowdown on ths page, or is it just me and my neolithic dialup connection?

Well, let's see...Celtoid would represent someone who is Celtic in the way that a spheroid approaches being a circle. Nearly half my genes are Bretton French via Canada, and many Irish, Scots and Welsh got mixed up with the English on my mother's side...so Celtoid (sound better than Heinz 57 variety)
