Just found this post. I think by now most know what my name means but here it is again. I am getting this degree because I have to have one to get a decent job. The old adage of a degree in basket weaving seemed to fit because I chose the easiest route in "Liberal Studies"; thus Basket Weaver. Lee

Shotojoku,
I just read your name's meaning and was surprised to see you study/teach Karate. I lived in Japan for 15 years and was the first American in my dojo. My sensei was the #2 man in the world in our style and we tested in front of the top 5 to get promoted; it was an honor every time. This was in Okinawa and I studied Shurite for years there. My wife is also Japanese and my son, well he's half . My Sensai really wanted me to teach and even let me use his Dojo's name but I could never find a student who would stick with it, the conditioning can be a bit rough for the first several months. Just thought I'd pass that along. Lee

When my granddaughters were little, they lived in Chicago. When I talked to my daughter on the phone, she would tell them,"it is Papa in Georgia". They just shortened it to Papa Georgia.
It is a great nickname when you consider what they call their other grandfather. Ever time they saw him, he had his little dog with him. His name is "Papa Dog".

I was wondering about your name. I thought maybe it related to the Vegas Vacation movie. Nick Poppogeorgio is Chevy Chase's son Rusty's alias in the movie. It's a great movie.

That's very interesting. My name "bongsau" is actually two words in Cantonese "Bong Sau." It means Wing Arm -- it's a movement in Wing Chun Kung Fu, which I have been teaching/studying for over a decade. It would appear that our arts have left a substantial impact on us, as we have choses such names with which to associate ourselves.

Well, let's see....my name is Matt. I'm 30 yrs old. Growing up, my absolute favorite cartoon/kids show was the Transformers. To this day, it's still my favorite. My favorite character was Optimus Prime....one day my friend Jen started calling me Matymus Prime....and it stuck. Sometimes it's just Matymus for short.

We read the books together and viola! I was Anne, she was Diana. 15 years later we are going to PEI together to see Anne's house and island!!
