oh no, my feelings are hurt pearly. Yes, I can see that. From 3000+ miles away. So, in compensation for your painful curiosity, I will explain how I got my handle... pearlies.co.uk The Coster Mongers wore 'Flash Boy Outfits' to distinguish themselves from the other market traders. This involved decorating their trousers and waistcoats with a row of pearl buttons down the seams The only purpose of those buttons was to temporarily catch the attention of potential customers. In those days, there were no electric light bulbs as in Las Vagas today. The particularly dumb animals in this life are always attracted to something bright or that flashes. Those guys are, of course, the best guys to attract as customers to sell something to. Stock, an idea, whatever. Now the deep significant meaning of the name "pearly_button" is, I'll leave to your imaginations. I don't give a chit what others think it means. Once it serves it's purpose. It seems to do that in spades -g- -LOL-
