    Mine can from my car club name of Dr.235 because of my knack of repairing,rebuilding,and improving of old Chevy 6 cylinder 235 engines.Being the nice person i was,i let people take advantage of me one to many times.So i told everybody to get boinked,and became EvilDr235.

    bikr = 2 Harley's for 14 years. prchr = Bible College for 4 years. The result bikrprchr. Though I don't have a bike now, there is an ever growing pile of parts in the corner of the shop that will one day live as my next ride. Patience is the hard part.

    I've been doing flea markets, auction, garage sales and such since before I was old enough to drive. (Over 35 years, wow has it really been THAT long?) Anyway people would always ask me, "What kind of neat stuff have you found recently". My answer was "I was out "pickenup" this or that". It became my C.B. handle for years, so it kind of naturally carried over to my online handle.

    Was sometimes called "big bad bob" in the Marine Corps. Never did figure out why. I'm not THAT big and only a little bad, but my name is Bob. Now I'm far from being a boy, but refuse to grow up, thus the silly combination.

    Used to love climbing trees in my superman jammies when I was a tot. Everyone called me a 'lil monkey'. Didn't take long to come up with 'super monkey', and the 'the' part, that's because there is only one 'SUPER MONKEY'! It's been my email address and username for years. Looks great on my resume too.

    Back about 35 years ago, when I was a brakeman for what once was the Chicago & North Western Railroad, the Extraboard Caller called everybody by their initials & last name only. I got so used to hearing this at all hours of the day or night I started using it everywhere I could just so's I'd know if & when it was my turn to get on.

    Like Lowrider, it's what I ride. Bought new in '80. Probably my last. Missed only 4 Sturgis rallys since '82. Guns have taken over my interest in the last few years. You guys have ruined me!

    OK....to make a long story longer...When I'm on the road, I, like most of you, never hesitate to tell other drivers what I think of their driving skills (or lack thereof). Mrs. Mudge started saying I was being a "curmudgeon" (a cantankerous person). She eventually just said I was "mudging" at people or that I was being a "mudge". The license plate on my bike is "MUDGE".

    Mudge the.....well....mudge

    ps. The plate on Mrs. Mudge's bike is "BRAZEN". Pretty self explanatory.



    I can't come to work today. The voices said, STAY HOME AND CLEAN THE GUNS!

    I was an LEO with the People's Republic of Palo Alto. Working graveyards, I only encountered the low life on the streets. One day, when coming to day shift, an officer named Rick from nearby Stanford P.D. told me to watchout for the TPARS. I had no idea what that meant so I asked. He said: "Typical Palo Alto Resident." He explained what was typical about them and then I had to learn for myself. What was/is typical:

    1. Upper income bracket
    2. Ex-sixties anti-war types
    3. Ultra ultra liberal
    4. Many homosexuals
    5. Many lesbians
    6. Environmental extremists
    7. Hate the military
    8. Despise conservatives
    9. socialists
    10. Many commnunists
    11. Hated Reagan, loved Gorbachev
    12. Various New Age religions
    13. Very wimpy males
    14. Very domineering females
    15. vegetarian
    16. Hate police
    17. Arrogant
    18. Follow every new-liberal trend (having their children call
    them by their first names)
    19. Adore Castro
    20. Supported the Sandanistas
    21. Drive a Volvo, Saab, maybe a BMW but NEVER an American car
    22. Take vacations to Europe but wouldn't be caught dead in the
    the Midwest of the U.S.
    23. Reincarnation, voodoo, etc...
    24. Need I go on?

    Long story short, none of this made any difference to me...that is, until I worked day shift when these folks are out. Can you believe an entire town of these people!!!! And how did I end up there? Well, Moses was exiled for 40 years before returning to Egypt, this was my wilderness period.

    P.S. I was at the Contra Costa County Jail on a prisoner pick up. The local PD saw my patch and started ranting and raving at me about all the anti-nuke kooks they have to arrest and they are always from Palo Alto, People's Republic of...Its a commie hell-hole.


    Just say, NOTPARS!!
