Hey folks. I think that I need a new handle to maintain parity with the other "men" at this site, and I'm taking suggestions. It doesn't have to start with G, but it would be nice to maintain some connection to the name of the blog
Current candidates:
- G-man
- Grooveyman
- Unman
- Gingerbreadman
- Gingerman
Unman is my fav, but it doesn't start with G. After that I like Gingerman for the gingerbread and literary references. I would probably use this image as my avatar:

I don't think the Bite Me avatar really suits you, but I vote for Gingerman. There's a tremendous bar in Chicago two blocks north of Wrigley on Clark called The Gingerman. It's shaped like an acute triangle, given the diagonal of Clark. Lots of exposed brick, a great back bar, 100 beers available. And it's logo, hung over its door, is some kind of rather alluring woman sprawled over a panther.
Or G-Man. It's kind of high-five-y and has a certain elan. It's like you just walked off the blogging court and people are yelling "G-Man" and throwing you a jug of Gatorade (TM) that you one-hand. Plus, it was my original suggestion, and will later let me lob cheap J. Edgar Hoover jokes your way.
I like groovyman, goes with the shirt
I'm thinking Wingman, named for the wing-like collar on your shirt.
Or Gladman since you look pretty happy and satisfied in the picture and your posts usually have an infusion of humor.
And this could be your theme song.
I like Wingman. "Glad" has already been claimed by a certain blogger at TPM. I think that I'll leave him his name. But I am glad to see you at dagblog.
I vote for Gingerman because I agree with A-man that it is one of the coolest bars in Chicago. Also, you could change your haircolor in your pic to match your new name. LisB can tell you how.
I searched long and hard and couldn't find a clear picture of the sign above the door. Ah, Gingerman.
I have to confess, O, I'm about to go up with an antiCub post. As my White Stockings choke their way out of the playoffs...

Gawd, that floptuous woman upon the panther, the brick interior... and I'm not even a Cub fan. It's like Cheers or something. Best Chicago bars:
1. Danny's, before the chick mags ruined it.
2. Hopleaf
3. The Map Room
4. Gingerman
5. Green Mill
I think either Gingerman or Groovyman (no e) are pretty good. If you go with Gingerman, I'd try to find a Avatar from Gilligan's Island!
Other suggestions:
Goodman (too bland, untrue
)
Grokman (it fits with blogging, kind of retro and futuristic)
Ghostman (too close to deadman?)
Gutterman (where your head is)
Remember what happened to the protagonist at the end of Stranger in a Strange Land? Beware grokman.
