Yup, And of late I'm a lot more jittery. Just received my Vetrano a week ago, so I've been learning to use my new friend. And you just can't throw away all that good espresso. My Macap is on backorder...

Simply put, slow rain is one of the most relaxing, peaceful things for me. I just love the sight and sound of it--even when riding my motorcycle in it.

It's my initials, or at least my initials reduced to monosyllabic grunts.

My initials along with the number of my childhood baseball idol Mickey Mantle.

cool thread.....i chose mine for its broad and ambiguous meaning. its based on a song of the same name from my favorite band, Tortoise. i think they chose it for the same reason, but possibly because there is something different going on in every speaker channel during the song, and you get the feeling that its all around you when you listen in surround sound.

if interested, check out the song here: http://www.myspace.com/tortoise (they're instrumental, so no potentially offensive lyrics or anything, just good clean post rock

Well the "spro" part of my username is obviously for the espresso and the "745" is the amount of weight I was deadlifting before I had to give up bodybuilding/powerlifting due to health reasons. I use this number because I loved lifting so much I knew I'd never forget it..... My old username was shadow745, but due to a little bit of attitude I was banned.....hmmmm... and went with another username. The "shadow" part of that was given to me by a friend/bodybuilder because my physique/training philosophy at the time resembled Dorian Yates, also known as The Shadow. Later!

Mine is pretty simple.

My name is Jeff. On my first day of kindegarten, i was nervous in the morning before going in. My Father said to me "go get em Jman!" just before I walked inside. Since then, thats what my family calls me for a nickname, as my fathers name is also Jeff.

Espresso is for espresso..imagine that! JmanEspresso.

I presume you can guess mine...

Pretty boring here... I wanted to buy something (an Ascaso grinder, which I did buy) off the CG buy/sell/trade board when I realized I didn't have a name. I am a philosophy PhD student here in Syracuse, so PhilosoGeek was born in a fit of anxiety and haste...the way it should be

-p

Mine's fairly simple - I needed something that was not a word, that would be unlikely to be taken wherever i go.

Trip to Genetica was a track on a rather good breaks album from the 1990s (Adam Freeland's Coastal Breaks II), which works quite well as alloneword.
