Which reminds me when I used to use RENO as
my name when I lived in Nevada. Besides the giggles
and the "huh?"'s, I'd get some "No, I need the name not the
city!"

PS Wonder what reaction I'd get to "Kent WA"?
PPS Ward, try "Vashon WA" next time.

Uh, oh...
I think the rule is "name" not "your name".
I'm "Ed" in the Sprints because (a) nobody will receive "Ward WA"
correctly the first time (except for the True Zen Masters who connect the
ears directly to the log without conscious intervention) and (b) it's a
hoot.
In NAQP, I'm Homer in memory of K7RA or Simpson, whichever I happen to
feel like that day.
Then, again, I might be SNOOP, MOE, GORBACHEV, ABE, or OU812 if that's the
team theme. It's just a bit pattern, fellas, so copy it. Assume nothing,
parse everything.
