Demosthenes is the online pseudonym for the character Valentine Wiggin from the novel Enders game and Speaker for the dead.
The whole series by Orson Scott card have been some of my favourite books for years.

Noob...

I am fairly inexperienced in the world of Rolex, though not so in terms of watch collecting, so the name Newbieone just sounded right when I needed to enter in a name upon signup on TRF...

Here is the last watch from my old/inexpensive watch collecting days...

Well, the pic of the root beer confuses it a bit... so I'm gonna guess... you had one too many Jager-bombs one night out in Vegas, lost everything, and sold your root beer to the Pawn Stars guys for 1/2 what it's worth so you could go play the slots some more (and you didn't even get on TV, which just sucks!) You joined TRF to find a replacement, but filled with self-loathing over the Jager-Vegas incident, decided that would be a fitting name.

Did I win??

I was into other brands before rolex. My last name starts with the letter Z and my friends have always called me "z-man." I was "Herr Z" (I am a German immigrant to the USA)on other WIS boards, but the name was already taken here. I went with the French version, Zed Homme = Z Man. I get PMs every couple of months with people asking if I'm Norwegian, I guess Homme is an obscure Norwegian name.

I have long dead relatives that came to the US from what is now Lower Saxony in Germany.

It was originally a screen name for the Medal of Honor video game but Saxon was taken, as was Saxon1, Saxon2, etc so I settled for 007.

That's too bad, it would have fitted you so well.

In honor of my yellow lab who was my best friend for nearly 13 years. Still miss the old guy and my new ones are great, but don't live up to the standard he set. Love them just the same though.

Clear Blue Light. My favorite song written and sung by Dolly Parton, "Light Of a Clear Blue Morning." I prefer the 70's version. The song speaks about overcoming obstacles. A pretty deep song to me.
