I threw cases for 18 years as an order selector and then loader at a food service warehouse.  The last 10 years I was produce QA on my shift but by then I was using casethrower as a log-in name for various websites.

My moniker goes all the way back to the early Compuserve days.  I needed an identity for playing bridge on-line and my main hobby back then was gardening.  So I became _O_rganic _G_ardener IN ME (Maine). 

Several years later, we moved to a small farm and started raising dairy goats, so it was switched to _Odd_ _G_oat.  Now, many years later, I modified it to _O_ld _G_oat and even though I moved down to the far south (New Hampshire) it had been used in so many forums, that I didn't dare change it.

The first email address I ever had in 1993 started with my first and middle initials.  I've been using this as a username everywhere ever since.  Plus, can you imagine how many Dave Taylors there are on this planet?!  The middle initial helps a little bit, but there are also way too many David M. Taylors.  Oh well.  I'm the one who's addicted to homebrewing forums.  :)

I came by mine a long time ago when others (on another forum)started to refer to me as "braufessor" because I brewed beer and was also a teacher.  Just kind of stuck and I kept using it on other forums.

"M-O-O-N That spells beer" is something that Tom Cullen (The Stand) might have said. Laws yes!

I live in Boulder Junction, as easy as that. It also messes with people who think I live in another town in CO.

I had the nickname Cool in college. They called me cool because of my red hot temper back then. I always wore #26 while playing ball. So coolman26......

Born in 1969, my sister used to say no pranks Frank and over the years it has morphed together into 69franx, of course if I ever get a fun car from 1969, my vanity plates would morph it into franx69

"Ale" because when I started brewing, I could only manage ales. "Farmer" because that's what my name--George--means.

I just don't have the patience to come up with a clever or witty moniker, so my goto is yso191: Yakima Sheriff's Office deputy 191.  I'm a reserve deputy (training sergeant).  I've been a reserve for 3 departments over  23 years.
