Once again, for those who weren't listening the first time.

When I was a youngster, my uncle was a high school history school teacher (later to become a principal and then a school superintendent). Anyway, he told me once that he used the name "Boulevard Shagnasty" as a gag choice on a multiple choice question asking who was the victorious general at the Battle of Waterloo and that almost half of the students chose Boulevard as their answer. The name struck me as really funny and, after I related the story to some friends of mine, they called me Boulevard for a while.

I had considered "Lorenzo St. DuBois" as my new handle, but I was worried that name may be offensive to some.
