I'm a huge sci fi fan, one of my fav's has always been Star Wars, hence the Padawan, and I wanted it to be funny, so I thought a bit about it (no doubt baked), and added the Bater part, one day I'll become a Master... lmao.

Pinspot is a lighting term used in the show lighting biz. The meaning is to iris down an automated moving light or follow spot light to about the size of a human head or smaller. Being a lighting designer, it was just one of those words that kind of stuck with me. The avatar of George is another story. I love traveling the world and exploring different jungles.

tea tree

Well-Known Member
smoking "tea" and growing trees. Plus I had the idea of tea tree oil stuck in my head cuz you see it everywhere. Plus if you want to abbreviate it you might write "tit" and thoughts of perversion aside for a moment, we are growing girls. I think the plants nature is pretty frealing awesome as well. One of a kind. :) gotta give pause to even the most scientific of us, her prettiness. But I am a guy. lol. I learned it was called "tea" from all those Kerouac books that made me want to try it in highschool. I got hooked, quit for a while, now I am back all medical and shite. lol.

SpruceZeus

Well-Known Member
Well, my dog's name is Zeus.
I grow a strain of weed that around these parts has become known as the SpruceZeus. A bit of a play on the Spruce Moose thing and what with the dog and all.....
Anyhow, when it came time to make a RIU account, it was only natural that this be my name.



Here is a shot of the SpruceZeus weed, not the SpruceZeus person, who is somewhat less sparkly.
 

Sgt. Floyd

I've been a fan of the Muppets forever. I always thought that Floyd (Sgt. Floyd Pepper) was the coolest because of his voice and his mustache. And his name was taken from 2 of the greatest bands ever.
