If anyone knows who "selosse" is, please PM me - I asked him/her how they found us, but haven't received a reply.

No idea, but you need to clear out your mailbox.

I know Howler is asking to join OA. it could be him

Perhaps not enough people on Chowhound understand his ref's to "Bangla's"

Quite :angry:

It could be anyone.

can anyone tell me who sadiedkh might be?

Didn't there used to be a poster called selosse on one of the sites we previously encountered? I vaguely remember that as having been the only occasion when I thought the username was one I would have chosen, in lieu of my username. :huh:

sadiedkh is a friend of mine. she's terrific.

I was guessing selosse could be you, but we wrote him/her to enquire about their identity and received no response.

I don't recall the name. I e-mailed him/her to ask how he/she found the site, but as there's been no reply... :huh:

That's part of why I posted. I would have used that name (or valdeon), if cabrales had to be relinquished. :lol: I didn't want people to think I was trying to sign on as a different user prior to my validation. :lol: (Why else would I post about another user's validation? I do recall such a poster -- not me). Since I began using the username cabrales, I've posted only under it. (My old, old username on eG was chaudfroidoeuf)

I only intend to post using my existing style, so I would have been quickly uncovered even whilst posting under any other user name. But it was non-starter to switch names, in my mind ;)

Consider the glowering shadow of suspicion lifted. :rolleyes:

What does it say when the two board administrators here know what username I would have chosen in substitution for my longstanding username? :blink:

I suppose selosse might start posting about Blue Hill and then the suspicion would be reimposed. <_<

does anyone know Vernon and/or stugots?

Isn't that something they're always eating on the Sopranos? Or maybe what Tony calls people he doesn't like?

Edited.....Shows you what I know[feel like a scutch].

guess I should have taken your advice:

From this article, which turned up near the top of a Google search:

Stugots: from stu cazzo or u' cazzu, the testicles. Tony Soprano's boat is The Stugots.

Edit: The article points to this official HBO dictionary of Mob slang.

Growing up in Brooklyn as a half Italian American, I can say with some certainty that the term was used in a perjorative sense. usually to deride a posited concept.
( the current term "Bullshit" is a close enough approximation). Though the term could be hurled *at* someone as a personal insult.

Well...That's how I recall it.

edit: But it's pronounced..."schtu-gahts"

James Marsh?

A chum of the UK board and on OA

Was with us at Mangal last night

Good egg

Does anyone know who Brad might be? Same goes for Lyle.

Doesn't Brad go with Janet? Or, is it Jennifer? And didn't Lyle have a go with Julia?

Ok, how about Wally?
