I’m a firm believer that you don’t get to choose your own nickname. I didn’t choose mine. It chose me.

I’m hoping mine is a bit self explanatory haha
I explained my name in the linked thread, I’m Appalachian. Also, like biscuits.
But I didn’t get to explain my avatar!
My avatar is madam Marjory trash heap, she is from Jim Henson’s “Fraggle Rock”. Described as a large sentient compost heap. She’s an Oracle that knows all and sees all. If you aren’t familiar with Marjory I’m envious of the delight you’re about to experience.

Absolutely loved fraggle rock! Anything Jim made really but that one I was obsessed with as a child, if it was on I was in front of that tv no question! Even at 6 am best believe I was up, cereal in hand ready to go! “DOWN AT FRAGGLE ROCK!”

Mota has something he needs to tell you.

Whenever I see your name, I think of the song “Dirty White Boy” from the band Foreigner. It was one of my favorites when I was young.

My screen name came from our daughter when she was little and would come and tell me Oh No daddy my puppy is being bad 
please keep in mind her puppy was a full grown 145 pound Rottweiler that towered over her and my birthday day is May 5th and the five is a lucky 
number for me. You would have had to been there so see the seriousness on her face when she drug him by his collar to inform me of this. Priceless! (1 of her favorite 
pictures too)

You know how you take a picture of someone from one angle and it really looks like another person, but then from another angle it doesn’t look like that other person? I wonder if that would make a difference in how I looked at that age relative to your son?
Amazingly to me, I can still remember a bunch of these kids names. I’m top row, second from the left.
It’s funny, my sisters are 9 years older than I am and they had Miss Egerer too. In my mind’s eye, she was a haggard old witch. In this picture she’s clearly much younger than I am today. I must appear fucking ancient to any kid who is looking! YIKES! (And a big HA!)
I’m nine years old in this picture. In this one I’m sitting, second from the left. I don’t remember any of these kids names, but I think the Black kid at the far end of the bench and I paled around together sometimes. He didn’t go to my school, but I think he lived fairly close to me and our parents arranged for what are now called “play dates” for us. It was just called playing together then.

Miss Egerers is a saint. I can tell from here. Class of 34 students, 22 of which are boys?! Woman needed a stiff drink at the end of the day.

That kid at the bottom left must have failed a few grades I think.

I admit it. I know I can be really slow. I’m unclear why you are obsessed with the number 2251?

So you’re a California boy, @mota

@LoveDaAutos, I’ve lived on the left coast my entire life, though not California exclusively. I was born and raised in LA, but have also lived SF bay area, Northern California (Eureka, Cotati, Santa Rosa, Arcata), Oregon (Portland, Eugene, Springfield, Blue River), Washington (Skamokawa, Seattle, Longview) and British Columbia (north Van).
You know, there’s just so much to see, and living pretty much hand to mouth for most of my life, I was able to move around.

I borrowed my handle from a cheesy B rated sci fi movie called “The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension”, I changed it to Bonsai to reflect my affinity for bending and super cropping. “Always remember, no matter where you go…. there you are.”

I enjoy a toke so I’m a toKer. J and G are the initials of my first and middle name.
My profile pic is a drawing I drew showing 2 stars made with ganja leafs. One is indica with big leafs and the other is thin leaves representing Sativa ganja. I love both so I implemented it into my drawing.

I picked my screen name just by the fact I was a stranger to the OG community when I first joined and always wanted to create a branded product Logo, but the pun is intended 
. Strainger Ranger/ stranger danger. It’s messed up I know

Mine may be pretty obvious but as a kid who grew up poor and on the wrong side of the “tracks”, reading “The Outsiders” was the first time I saw myself in a book. Sodapop just happened to be the coolest to me and ever since then I’ve really taken a liking to the moniker!! We used to get into brawls very similar to those the greasers and socs got into just over here in Hawai’i.
