Great nick , just a small correction. Klepto is indeed greek, but lux is latin (and yes it means light) . The greek word for lux (light) is Phos (φως) (and that's where photo- comes from )


Alex,
Thanks for the correction. Reminds me I should have taken Greek instead of Latin in high school.

When I registered, I thought about using the nickname I use on the Pokerstars website which is "DumbnUgly" but I felt that this was a more civilized forum and that name would not be appropriate.

When someone on Pokerstars asks why I use that nickname, I tell them I once looked up my family tree and found that half of my ancesters were dumb and the other half were ugly. Hence the nickname.

Not really of course.

Love this forum.

John

omer is my name and bey is "mr. prefix" in turkish. we put it after our forenames not before our surnames. it just makes sense :)

I think my screen name is obvious, it's what my wife says everytime I'm looking at ebay or the back section of any photo magazine: "too many cameras!" This from a woman that has Barbie dolls in every room of our house.

Well I got my nickname form being able to fix stuff. I was fixing my bike and my friends bikes when I was 8 or 9. When I was 12 I wanted to build a Go Kart, my parents both being acedemics thought I was crazy but said I could go for it. So I hunted around and found a frame for sale I bought that for $75 that I made from my paper route, next I found someone selling a rotortiller with a 5 horse power engine sutiable for a go cart so I bought that for $150, then I mail orderd the rest of the parts I needed-my parents thought I was crazy. The whole thing worked and I built 3 in total. Then came the shop classes, I fixed just about anything with a motor, dirt bikes, lawn mowers, weed wackers and just about everyones cars in school, including the teachers. Soon people started calling me Goodwrench Garth, then just Goodwrench. I became a mechanic, got my journyman papers at 22 and bought my shop when I was 25 and here I am.

Goodwrench Garth

PS My latest thing is fixing lenses and cameras. My tinkering mind just cant leave it alone.

During the day, I play about with a 60W CO2 laser (strong smell of burning). One of my customers always calls out "Watch out - it's the laser man coming!" when he sees me, so hence the nickname.

My name on Yahoo Groups is "dynaxmike" - amazed that no-one got that before me.
