I miss my "johnnycanuck" !!

Hi guys,

Call me a sentimental old fool, call me any damn thing you like, but I've gotten so used to our ORIGINAL user names that I'd love to be able to relate with those same names once again.

I was happy when Adrian switched back to the good ole' "Uncle-AJ" we've known so long and now, Johnny, would you kindly do the honours? Atomic is just NOT you!!

Thanks - JJ

I will stay Arturo

I have been away on business again....Colorado Springs among other places....but have not forgotten you.

As a child I lived in Burma and I got so constipated I almost turned blue, and the nanny was yelling at my parents that ARTURONOPOOP....ARTUTONOPOOP....

I was going to pick that name but decided that most people would not have the humor to appreciate it....

And I was hauled over to an Englishman doctor resting under a mosquito net and administered a massive enema which took care of the problem very dramaticallyas was recounted by my parents....

I don't mind Atomic, I was hoping JJ would change his name to PP.

Hell, if I changed names, I'd be likely to log on to a forum and ask myself, "Now who am I again?".

JJ and Rashy, thanks for the sentiments, but JC is long gone. That username had a time and a place, and that time and place has passed.

Besides, truth be told, outside the internet life, only a few inside my inner sanctum are permitted to call me Johnny. It's a name I struggled to avoid my entire child and adult life. LOL Rather ironic it would become my nom de plume on the www.

I will remain Atomic, because of my nuclear personality , and because they are the best damned downhill skis on the planet!!!!!

You can call me what you want (just not late for dinner) but I am and will remain, Atomic.

Thanks, I'll be here all week and please.... try the fish.

I was quite fond of Johnnycannuck myself.

Maybe I missed something here, but where did Atomic come from?

LMAO!! I know but I did not have an answer so that was the best I could come up with.

He actually changed it after one of the rounds of troll attacks a month or so ago.

Well, as usual, I'm the last one to catch on to something! Big and dumb is a hard life to lead, believe me!

Anyway, Atomic/Johnny, glad to see you again! I am the fellow Rush FREAK who briefly discussed with you the wonder that is RUSH! We had a great homage going then you up and disappeared!

Good to see you around again!

Thanks Gunther... I saw them last fall at Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre for their 35th (or so) anniversay concert. Awesome! They actually played covers of stuff that influenced them in around 1970.
