I actually had no intention of creating a group when I made mine after Elohimfest. I thought I was creating a grouping of contacts for myself so I could keep track of everyone from the partay. Turned out I actually created a real group.

Ummmm....maybe because you submitted a post here that said "join up even if you weren't there?"

bossk - would you clear up a debate between mrsnull and myself?

for all these years i have pronounced your name as one syllable. julie says i should pronounce it "boss k" so which is it? thank you.

damelon : same thing, how do you pronounce. because i like julie's version better than mine.

and to explain, i know we were introduced at e-fest. but at any given time i need a working knowledge of 80-100 inmate names. plus forty or so coworkers. plu sthe people i know in real life. i have only so much memory. inmates find it odd that when they stop working for me, unless i have known them for years, i usually forget their name quickly.

i also can only remember three phone numbers at any given time. and one of those is my phone number from when i was a kid. the other two are julie's work and cell phones. i don't even know my own number and i have had it for years.

I can say for Bossk that it is definitely one syllable, as it is based off of this guy from the Empire Strikes Back:



Then again, maybe I've had it wrong all these years. Then again, I found someone else pronouncing it the same as we have; to rhyme with "mosque."

In grade school, we started the Bounty Hunters Association due to probably the mystery surrounding these characters. It was a club, and was silly, but three of us kept in touch all these years. We all got tattoos of a redesign of the logo we created way back in the day. I was Boba Fett as it was my idea originally, so of course I claimed the top name, our friend Nathan was Dengar, and Bossk was, you guessed it, Bossk. It's funny because I found IG-88 to be a bit more of a badass, so I originally wanted him to be IG-88, but he said he'd rather be Bossk, so he was.

thanks - i get to tell julie i am right.

have you read this yet?



not a huge star wars fan but really enjoyed that. tells the back ground of the bounty hunters.

also really enjoyed this one...



the story of those at the Mos Eisley bar.

i also liked IG-88 and just found out a Mos Eisley Cantina drink dispenser was used as its head.

I haven't read those, although I have read a couple of the Bounty Hunter Wars books, starting with this one:



It wasn't bad, but just not a fan of reading about spaceships and such, typically. It was fairly entertaining though, but not enough for me to pick up any more books of.

the ones i posted go into depth about the characters. i also dislike hard science fiction. but i found thos eto be entertaining,

Yeah, glad Cag cleared all that up. I so often just throw the first thing I think of into the blank when I have to pick a forum name, and then it sticks, of course.

Luci also likes to say "Boss K" so I told her at the 'fest that it meant I am "boss of things that can be measured in thousands". Since you're a baseball fan, I can also be "boss of strikeouts".

Vraith - I thought I was just tagging my contacts. When people started posting things in the group, I realized what I had done and decided to go with the flow, so I invited everyone to hop aboard. It doesn't matter how idiot-proof someone makes an internet doohickey, I will find a way to misunderstand.

I say "bosk" and "dame-lon"
After I'm introduced to someone I typically forget their name within minutes if not while I'm speaking to them. I hate that. I even try the name association trick too.
I only remember my current home phone, my childhood phone, an old friend or two and that's it for phone numbers.
My blackberry for the past 3 years has had it's phone number taped to it's back.

I had high hopes for those, because I read a K.W. Jeter book ("Goodbye Horizontal") that I thought was pretty prescient. I guess the strictures of writing within the Star Wars universe made these a bit more difficult to get right, because I eventually got bored and quit reading.

There is nothing idiot-proof about Facebook. *Nothing.*

Heh, I've always pronounced Bossk's name as Boss K too.

Damelon, I pronounce like the TC character Dam-a-lon

Huh...I always pronounced them Smith and Jones.

I'm on team bossk (rhymes with mosque) and team Dam-eh (rhymes with meh) -lon.....

Jenn has Damelon right. Three syllables. Dam e lon. All short vowels.

julie was right then - thank you.

I think I sent a request to join the Watch FB page the other day but perhaps it didn't work. Nothing's happened.
