Since there has been some debate on another thread as to whether or not Tyler Morris is my real name, I won't confirm or deny anything (I'm practicing for a career in govornment 
), but I will explain it a bit...
A "Tyler" is the bloke who stands outside a Masonic lodge with a big damn sword to menace away and guard against cowans, drywallers, framers, concrete workers, lumber salesmen, door-to-door salesmen, and Stonecutters.
"Morris" is Welsh in origin, and in Cymraeg (from "Mawr" and "rys") it means "a hero, a warrior, brave man." It shares it's root with the word 'Marth', meaning great, and 'Marvors' meaning warlike.

My name, I.D.10-t, is a military job title. It is the people that launch the dihydrogen monoxide bomb (B.A.1100N). Our job has included supplying sky hooks and grid squares and other maintenance items (people thought our job was not important until they ran out of break light fluid). The worse part was one of our sorting jobs. People would mix-up metric and standard adjustable end wrenches (don’t even get me started in the left handed verses the right handed debate). I did do some on the side work calculating the conversion charts for lbs. to psi. (That took me three weeks to do)
The only bad part is that the job title looks like it spells idiot.

Mukade = Centipede.
When I first came to Japan, I lived in an apartment nicknamed 'THe House of Mukade.'
I shared rooms with several Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans, which are much larger than centipedes in the UK and they also have a rather nasty bite.
The name stuck.

- Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.
At one point in my C&F live I was NorCalMusician. See page 1 for that explanation. I am now IDAwHOa.
If you are REALLY observant you will notice two things about that screen name. One is the work IDAHO. I now live in Southern Idaho, in Doc Jones' back yard (well, sort of). We moved here in the fall/winter of 2004/05 and just love it.
Another part of the word is WHOA. Yup, that delightful acronym for the mental state that just will not let us alone until we have purchased, traded or borrowed (dare I say stolen?
) yet another whistle. Me, I am sort of in recession right now although I have requests for information out on a Goldie Bari Bb and a Rose high d in pink ivory wood. I guess it is kinda like Alcoholism except this support group tends to feed the problem instead of relieve it. :roll:
Special thanks to jsluder for coining the IDAwHOa name in a contest I held just before we moved here.

'Sally Ann', or my mother's level, 'Sarah Ann' (there should be a quiet yet highly menacing twist to that verbal request for my skinny posterior (well... at the time) to come within her reach for whatever youthful stupidity of a transgression I had most recently performed) ... hence
'annie', for my middle name, and the pet-name my husband uses for me plus 'mcu' for the first three of the thirteen letters of our last name (a combination of my maiden name and his ...um... batchelor name) for at least the last 23years and 1 day (had our happy anniversary yesterday!).
Like amar, I can't be bothered with the shift key, and having always admired e.e.cummings, see no need for capitalization of my name.

He jested, quaff'd and swore."

It's the origin of the term mawrys dancer.
