I'm obsessed with the prose poem Paradise Lost and my Phuks name comes from Milton's description of angel's robes.

I've used Owlchemy in many places for as long as I can remember now (not everywhere, it gets stolen in other places before I can claim it). I used to use mgb78 ... because I drove a '78 MGB at the time, but once I moved on, I needed a new internet handle. My first thought was Alchemy. But that was taken everywhere, of course. I then came up with the brilliant alternative of Owlchemy! I patted myself on the back thinking I was just the most creative user name creator ... until I discovered once that some college's chemical department were calling themselves Owlchemists before me - LOL. So that's how I came up with the not so brilliant user name of Owlchemy ... a wise old owl, but not often more of a wise ass than anything.

British green I suppose?

How did you guess - LOL. I always liked British roadsters. My first was an Austin-Healey Sprite, then an Austin-Healey 3000 ... then the MGB. All over a long span of time.

Wow such great cars. As a kid my fantasy car was a Citroen! I don't really know why but I thought they were the bees knees. My father and brother owned a garage and fixed cars all my life; not a bad life, really!

I always read your name as "Owlcherry". I still have to correct myself to ban you.

Did it on a whim wanting name like this, it’s been 4 years I’m not switching.

It's just a play on my first name. I've used this name since the late 90's.

Another Paradise Lost fan, lovely.

I could tell you where my name comes from, but those who know do not speak and those who speak do not know.

J/k. Of your curious, just google my username and the answer will be made clear.....ish.

Are you the resident Phuks poet? I like Middle_Pillar (or path maybe?) it evokes spirituality. I'm learning and playing around with haiku and what I call "micro poetry" as it doesn't necessarily fit haiku's fussy rules. Wrote this for my vision-impaired kitten:

Playful sweet kitten! clouded eyes, he sees the light star bright in his soul.

Nice. I do enjoy poetry, but I would hardly call myself a poet. That would be @TheodoreKent if he's here.

I have a few names that I use on different sites. This one I picked because it will explain my random responses. Sometimes I’m serious, other times I like chocolate ice cream.

Just a play on three words I learned at school, fifth grade I think.
