My moniker comes from the name of a friends dog whom we called Mr.Jones

Well then vide supra with your accent, your cats might think you're sneezing on them.
Do academic Sadisticians use those vide supra and vide infra terms to sound smart? When I was an organic chemist, we loved putting those terms in papers.
In all seriousness though SoulTee, your accent should not matter to the kitties. Were the kitties born in the US or abroad? A higher pitched sound on the "coochas" works wonders.

Mine is just the designation of my Landcruiser model--UZJ100 is the current US version that replaces the FZJ80 series, that replaced the....well, you get the idea. Not very original, but when all of the "tricky" names you come up with are already taken it works. Never come across another log in that's using it. My guess for NoSubEdu and jcnesq...there's no substitute for education, and jcn is an attorney, hence the Esq?

Just from what was one of my call signs in the USAF--on the flight deck of the E-3 AWACS.

The MJ part are my initials and the Speed part is there because of Speedracer. I remember watching the episodes as a kid (4/5 years old) and thinking that I wanted to be a race car driver when I grew up. And it cemented my love/addiction for cars that had been passed down to me by my dad, that had been passed down by his dad...

I did become a professional race driver and my addiction keeps getting stronger and stronger!!!

I had an all black cat w/green eyes that I loved.
His name was Mr. Jones (from the Dylan song, "Ballad of a Thin man" I believe it is).
He lived to be 21 and 1/2.
Me, I'm just called BudWeiser.

21.5 years,...wow! As a cat person, I KNOW that's a long life for a kitty. He had more than his 9 lives,...thanks for being a good kitty owner :-)

Hi Coochas, thanks, he's my all time fav cat even over a couple of Abyssinians that were extremely beautiful! Mr. Jones (back when I let my cats go outside, I don't any more) was even shot (the 22 luckily hit a rock or something and just fragments went into the cat) by some snake hunting kids (I assume anyway) and lived!
I took my oldest cat (he'll be 18 on St. Patty's Day) to the vet today and I talked coochas, coochas, coochas to him but he doesn't much care for being at the vet so I'll try it again at home.
