    Bowling is a pretty big hobby for me. In bowling, the term "StrikeOut" is getting 3 strikes in the 10th frame, scored as XXX , hence StrikeOutXXX.

    My usual nick, at a dozen other forums, is taken here. The admins won't let me have it, even though there are apparently no posts associated with the account.

    So, I came up with the most descriptive nick I could to explain my presence here, without having to post in threads like this.

    I had a few spork names on AOL; just how that got started, I don't remember, but "sporkadelic" is the one that stuck. (A spork is, of course, a tined spoon, i.e. a spoon-fork.) I grew up in the Sixties, so the suffix "-adelic" has a certain resonance.

    (Excuse possible double post. Some kinda system glitch first time around.)

    Back in the rec.collecting.coins (Usenet) days, someone posted under the name "coinsrus", which you were supposed to read "coins are us", but somehow the name always confused me.

    Rec.collecting.coins, of course, has the distinction of being one of the few (only?) Usenet newsgroups that has ever been sued. How one is supposed to collect a judgment from the Usenet isn't quite clear to me. It's sort like suieng the Marianas Trench or something.

    I think mine is relatively easy to figure out. Among my "normal" numismatic pursuits, I have been
    seeking out high grade copper-nickel clad (or in official parlance, "cupro-nickel") circulation strike
    U.S. coinage. I began this area in late-1998 and have become a follower of these series in the same
    manner as one becomes a beatnik, a bolshevik, or any other kind of "-ik", thus the term, "cupronik."

    I am drawn to coins namely for their artistry - in addition, I work as an artist in various capacities. When I applied to become CU Forum member, I thought that when I was choosing a Login name, that that was all it was, i.e. something I would login with, but that later I would be given the chance to select a screen name...

    ...when I realized henceforth that around here I would forever be known as artist, I sort of felt pretentious; however, since a majority of my threads have focused on artistic aspects of coins, I have decided I like the name for the way it lets people know instantly where I am coing from.

    Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. --Teddy Roosevelt

    I chose this handle after a particularly difficult day in court where I went against my attorney's advice, did not accept my wife's offer, and asked the judge to decide timeshare with the kids. I won the kids but lost some other points (checkerd by failure). Overall I considered it a glorious victory. --Jerry

    I was in a bar in the highest city in Colorado. I was talking with a young lady who was asking a lot of questions about what I do and what my hobbies are....then out of the blue she blurts out "you're like a renaissance man!" A barkeep yelled out "he's a renman." My wife was sitting next to me and just about spewed her drink. That happened in 1995. For many years, when I would walk into that establishment I would be met with a welcome of "REN!"
