Ohhhhh, I was confusing "see-sar" with Czar.


I thought you were going to say something like, "because I'm the Czar of music."

A long time ago (in a galaxy not too far away), stash and I were planning a trip to London. This was during the pre-Connor days. We picked up this guide called London By Night and were going through the list of various clubs in the guide. There was one called Whirlygig. Seemed fun, chill, and what set it apart was, according to the guide, kids were allowed. Of course, we never made it to Whirlygig. But ah well. When Connor came along we were talking about how we'd manage if we ever went back to London and how we'd be able to enjoy the nocturnal delights the city had to offer and stash said in a slip-of-the-tongue, "Well, there's that club Whirlygirl that was in that guide, and they allow you to bring kids."


Still never made it to Whirlygig. Hahaha.


But the 'whirlygirl' thing sort of stuck and when I finally got around to spending time online, I used the 'whirlygirl' name when setting up email accounts. I had other screen names on other messageboards, but my email address was registered on the old Chems mailing list so I thought it made sense to use the whirlygirl name on the Chems forums. Until my whirlygirl account got disabled. :P Now I'm just plain ol' whirly which is fine by me!

mmm, i survived on that msg-induced crack for a while, real handy to get 2 meals out of a $5 pizza.


never knew the legend behind your name, whirlygirl. although i do remember way back when you were caligirl or something like that. whirly/whirlygirl is was better though... of course.

all my forum names have always been on an impulse.

i knew the story of the chems name being inspired ffrom the dust brothers - the fight club soundtrack is one of my fav works by the dust brothers, so I wordplayed on the tribute part and came up with JacksRevenge.

One of the name the CBs thought of when they had to change from the Dust Brothers. They also nearly played at Glasto one year under it as a secret name.

@Pooter: Ah, I see, never thought of it but hey - I think that's a good match for me, isn't it ? :lol:

@Pumisher: your parents didn't like you indeed. They told you wrong stories about me!


@Bosco: if it was from there: http://www.baybrokerage.com/Boscos.gif , it might be delicious.

Well, I realized I put too much thought into your emailaddy and "corrected" it by deleting the o and ay. My brain's a mess sometimes (ask Benji :lol:)

No pizza for me... :( so have a couple slices for me, boys. Pizza gives me horrendous heartburn and I stay away from bread in general.


I was ChemiCali for a brief moment in time and for one scathing post which basically ripped Come With Us a new a**hole. That was way back when the messageboard first came into existance (when you had to register every time you put in a post - what a Pain in the Butt) Then I didn't bother posting a for a little while after that. I grew to like that album and felt so bad for what I said about Come With Us, I never used that name again.
