  • Eds/Edz
  • Edster
  • Edman

  • Mr. Ed (yes, the horse)
  • Setekh (way back in January 2000)
  • Stekh -> Steak (of Steaks)
  • AWACS (haven't been called that for a while)

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

My sibs and I all have Bible names, guess my parents chose one they liked. My middle name is from my grandfather, so I ended up with lots of stern "Caleb Grant!"s when I was a naughty little boy. ;)

My parents based my name off of asm, as in assembly...
