Meme-ing before work

The LJ Names Meme...

1. My username is BillTheTailor, chosen largely because "I'm a tailor" is how I've identified myself for nearly twenty years, and is, through my business, how many of my readers became acquainted with me. Bill of course, the diminutive for "William".

2. My journal is titled "Ramblings, rumblings, grumblings, and rambling grumbly rumblings" because, at the time when I started my journal my daughter was very much into all things Winnie the Pooh, and as he is a great philosopher, I thought a title with Pooh-ish intonations might be nice.

3. My subtitle is "Et tu, Pumbaa?" because I think it's funny, and obtusely appropriate. The line is from Lion King 1-1/2, and is delivered by Timone at a moment when he believes his best friend has betrayed him, but is, five minutes later, the moment of his greatest revelation.

4. My friends page is called "My Friends Page". It makes an obscure sort of sense, don't you think?

5. My default userpic is me sitting in front of the microphone at the Main Street Coffeehouse on some Open Mic night a couple of summers ago. On the 17th, by the way, they're having a party from 6:00-ish to closing-time, open to the public, celebrating their second year in business, and I'm to be one of the featured performers.

Yes, that's an invitation, and I would love to see a bunch of people there.
