Anyone with a real cryptic DU name feel like explaining it to us?

[MikeG]

Not really :shrug:

[MikeG]

3. OK. You don't have to. But I'm sure we still wonder.

[FleshCartoon]

1. Mine is based on a...

...Robyn Hitchcock song.

[MikeG]

If You Were A Priest is actually the title.

[Lauren2882]

11. Lauren

[patriotvoice]

12. And such a beautiful name it is.

Ranks right up there with Lilith.

[MikeG]

13. It's close to my favorite female name, which is Laurel.

[Lauren2882]

17. wow thanks!

both of you :)

[Lucky Luciano]

15. For those that don't know,

Lucky Luciano is a famous mobster from the old days...partnered up with Meyer Lansky.

[MikeG]

20. Lansky always made money for his partners, didn't he?

Which is why he died of natural causes.

[Lucky Luciano]

27. I believe Lansky did always make money for his partners.

The FBI had nice praise for him in a report on Lanksy. They said that of all the underworld bosses Lansky was the most brilliant and very easily could have been CEO of GM or some other large corporation. He just happened to prefer crime. Some people probably consider the CEO job to be crime as well anyway! (not me, I am an unapologetic capitalist). Lansky was very tight with Batista in Cuba and was well connected in general. In The Godfather II, the character Hyman Roth represented Lansky in a very obvious way.

Luciano was thought of as simply a thug w/o much intellect by the FBI.

16. D__S

Was 'Dirty Sanchez' until someone ratted on me.

Lost about 200+ posts on the name change.

No big deal... life on the Internet.

[MikeG]

23. You're in the 700 club. Do you see Jesus or Ditka?

[-..__...]

25. Yes, now that you mention it.

Should I be concerned?

[MikeG]

29. Only one way out - keep posting. And say hi to Ditka.

[wickerwoman]

19. What the hell...

Bezdomny is a character in Mikhail Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita". He's a poet who meets Satan and has a nervous breakdown. Sort of how I felt living in the U.S. the past few years.

It's also Russian for "the Homeless One". I thought it was appropriate for an ex-pat.

[MikeG]

22. It'll get better once we have a non-moron running things.

[MikeG]

28. And it sounds like I may be reading some Bulgakov. It sounds interesting.

[pansypoo53219]

32. "Angelus"....you can't get anymore cryptic than that.

:)

[MikeG]

33. I'm heading to bed. I will reply in the morning. Thank you all.

[RandomKoolzip]

35. Name of a character from a Firesign Theatre album....

called "In the Next World, You're on your Own." Random is a grizzled, drunken beat cop who is the star of the TV show "Police Street," and he looks like a "potato in a trick suit."

I chose it because I love the Firesign Theatre, and Koolzip gets to utter one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the English language:

"Tell it to the Xmas Bunny, kid."

If you don't know who the Firsign Theatre is, PLEASE direct your attention to laugh.com and order the Cd mentioned above or "Don't Crush that Dwarf, HAnd me the Pliers."
