re: Screen name & Avatar
Thought a while about an avatar for this site; figured I'd pick one before posting here.
It's a photo I found of a completely ridiculous billboard, so absurd I couldn't NOT save it!
CTD50 comes from my being 50 years old, and being called "Crash Test Dummy" by one of my buds last year after breaking my collarbone in 5 places. (This is the same bud who nicknamed me "Chumba Wumba" at work several years ago, just because he felt I needed a bike-related nickname and C-W just sounded right to him; he also called me 'fossil' once, due to our age difference [he's 29 now], so I called him 'fetus'. Funniest one, though, was one my then-teen nieces hung on him in '01, after seeing him in lycra... they called him babydick.)
