Just ribbing you, Merkin...

Besides, everyone should know that a Glockenspiel is a DING DONG.

He he he he he he

Too funny. You know, in nearly 2 years of this site, no one has bothered to look it up

I guess the next question is "why the hell do you use that as a nickname ?"

Long story short, years ago I had a band called "Merkin Blues Band". When it started we all called eachother "Merkin" because we thought it was a funny word. After a little while, everyone got other nicknames and Merkin somehow stuck to me. It makes a great internet pseudonym.

I seem to recall a conversation with you about this about a year ago.
Shortly afterwards there was a program on TV about a custom merkin maker. Looked like a fun job.

That's right, I remember now.

Yeah, I wonder if they are called "Merkin Twirlers"

Well I can see it'll be my responsibility to keep up the tone of this site...so from now on Damian, I'll be referring to you as m#@!k^n.

You're a very naughty boy
