Well, my real name is Bruce, but my friends call me--Bruce. However, when I tried to use that as my post name on the Mudcat, I found another Bruce had already taken the name (the nerve). So I figured brucie would work. A few people warned me that I would be called that FOREVER, and wiseass that I am, I decided to ignore them. Ya gotta know that an ounce of prevention IS worth a pound of cure.

It's too late to change it now, but if that's the heaviest burden I have to bear this year, I'll be a fortunate guy. Besides, no one here would make fun of a guy's name, right? (I just had to leave that door ajar for those who have smelled the blood in the water and have been hurting from holding it in.) Anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
