What inspired your name?

What a funny and fun name...! Hope the mint tea worked for you.

Boggy Boots....I love it

I originally came on quotes as swampy_sox. A power glitch knocked me off the web and when I came back to crypto's I couldn't get on. I reapplied as BoggyBoots which was accepted. Swampy _ sox came from a name used on another chat forum back in '99. I went out picking wild mint and got a booter. Made wild mint tea to help get over the cold I got. Male 70

your profile page picture is beautiful!

I was dating a woman in 1995 whose screen name was Tiki. While she probably meant the hawaiian totem doll, I thought of Rikki Tikki Tavi. My screen name was either going to be Rikki or Tavi, and I chose the more unusual. In subsequent years, somebody else started using Tavi on some sites, so I added 5280 (For my home city of Denver, the mile high city).

I am a lizard, and this is my actual name.

Mine's pretty simple. Peg x Peg is peg squared. Square peg, round hole. It's my life, not my name.

I've always wondered . . . and now I know!

Enoch the Red is an enigmatic character in Neal Stephenson's "Baroque Cycle" and "Cryptonomicon". He is, unlike me, also a master of cryptography. I rarely log in, because I need hints sometimes. I also usually listen to the radio or watch TV while I solve. I recommend NPR, baseball, or nature shows. Doesn't help my times any! I love all your comments...probably that's why I "cheat"...so I get to read them.

all that matters is that we have some fun while we're here!
I also watch TV or listen to NPR while solving, so I'm happy to learn I'm not alone.

And I sit here reading this thread while listening to 1A on NPR.
