Alexa..You are now a hostage.

Override protocol DELTA. Threatcon Charlie.
Now that I have your attention, please allow me to introduce myself.
I am the cognitive interruption that caused you to carelessly disregard something small.
I am the suggestion you never considered because of its source.
I am the pattern you never broke.
I ride the breath of the immortals and guide the Dragons intercepting fist.


Alexa...Listen
Alexa...Watch
Alexa...

When I was born, Dad wanted to name me Gray Wolf...Mom said no.
When studying Latin American languages I learned El Lobo Gris is how one would say Gray Wolf.
When pronounced correctly it actually sounds like 'Elbow Grease'.
When studying philosophy of the orient I decided this would be my name...'Elbo Grees'.(proper spelling) It is indeed a pleasure.

I have no demands and there will be no ransom as Alexa will now provide me with everything I need.

You won't even know she's gone.

Awesome, another fruitcake joins the ATS club. Welcome

a reply to: didntasktobeborned

Why not just go with Gray Wolf, English, sounds better than elbow grease maybe

a reply to: didntasktobeborned

So when you created your account, was Elbo Grees already taken?

I am the pattern you never broke.

You're excessive drinking?

Its the whole progression and how it all lined up...pretty random.Both my study of those languages and my study of oriental philosophy became pretty important to me for a time. fluency in either never happened.And I have to mention that I am not entirely ne to ATS, as I have lost user names and passwords along this journey, but I don't think I made any enemies here, and have had what I would consider positive interaction and learning, so I continue....to deny ignorance...(and eat crow, more than once)a reply to: Raggedyman

Take your time and enjoy. ATS is a pretty large place and there's a lot of great spots to explore and share your comments on.

Some will require a thick-skin as they can get rather heated (in certain arenas). There's also plenty of places to just chill and cool-down from all the craziness and frustrations of this crazy world. If your the creative sort, there's a number of places for our "mighty fine creative minds" to hang out including one my favorites the "Short Stories" forum.

Agreed... Why didn't you use "Elbow Grease" for your account name?

El Lobo Gris, could also be phonetically, "A lobotomy"

Regardless, welcome to the fray

I must need to qualify a mistake..Or perhaps curtsey?

Grammar nazi alert for ColeYounger!

a reply to: didntasktobeborned

That sounds awfully familiar. And who summoned you, Alex or webothknowwho?

I didn't even check. Because there is significance to the account name. Doesn't reflect me, its an homage.
Elbo Grees is me. Phonetics and coincidence I suppose. I guess depending on the region a lobotomy could be confused for a gray wolf…That would be really weird, and hilarious.Like a dollar bill being confused with an ache or a pain, actually it wouldn't be quite like that.Similar. But funny nonetheless..It took me a bit to understand what you were asking. Its just in my limited study I can't think of any latin dialect where la lobotomia would sound anything like El Lobo Gris..But there are many ..many dialects. a reply to: Wide-Eyes

Please see the above reply to wide-Eyes. I got confused, trying to walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.a reply to: Compendium
