I think I'd have to go with "Greenwood" (which I actually used for a stage name for a while when I was playing music for a living); wordplay on "Redstone," lame though it may be.

11. Frank Castle
is The Punisher's given name. The Punisher is sort of a vigilante anti-hero. Horribly brutal towards criminals. It's where my avatar comes from.

13. Is that one of the guys from that "Watchmen" book? My son bought that, and
I found it utterly fascinating. Can't wait until the movie goes to DVD (I can't watch movies in a theater).

40. Maybe I'd actually be "vixen69" here, as I've been elsewhere.
I was told about 9000 yrs ago it was a bad handle, so I immediately gravitated to it. Or I'd go for "vixen strangely" to match my blog handle. Or I'd go with Jen Nonpronunciable--a joke about my IRL name.
