[freeringo]

15 years or so ago I played scrabble online
everyday. The scrabble site (no longer available) was
played by mostly European players and they mostly
snubbed American players. I can understand why,
since most of the intellectual people fled Europe for
America. ( we are smarter than they are as a whole)
My names use to be FreeSB and Serendipidous.
I loved Serendipidous because it meant "fortunate warrior".
So one day, I wanted to blend into the scrabble world better
and heard Ringo Starr got busted for possesion of pot
at the London Airport. My first thoughts were "free ringo".
I have used it ever since. People would chat with me too.
I changed my name several months ago on Cake Poker for a week,
thinking I could throw people off my game. It made it worse cause
I got no respect. The name "freeringo" has earned a lot of respect over
the years and that plays into my game much better.
I have built a good reputation with this name and will not change it.
LDJ1 (ranked 1 of the best online Omaha Players) said while sitting behind me,
"freeringo can you take up another hobby, cause I can't put you on a hand."
Now thats respect.

That's a really cool story, thanks for satisfying my curiosity!
