Claudette Colbert is disturbingly close to my real whole name. But, you're too young to know Claudette Colbert, no?

She played the smart, spirited babe back in the 30's and 40's. "It Happened One Night" is a classic 'guy meets girl' movie.

I've heard of her but I've never seen a film with Claudette Colbert.
Claudette, French name, make me think of Claude François , a really famous 60's and 70's french singer. Intellectual people enjoy disliking him and his lyrics but everybody (in France) always dance on his music. It's old fashionned but dynamic and funny disco. You can listen to "Magnolias for ever" and "Alexandrie Alexandra" with RealOne Player He was also famous in dancing with short dressed girls . It was the first time in France. They were called "Les Claudettes". Do you want to dance with them Brianna ? He's for us a kind of legend with a lot of incredible look-alikes (like Elvis Presley's ones). Claude François died electrocuted in his bathroom. ![]() My screen name comes from Star wars. George Lucas used this method to find the names of the different characters (like ObiWan Kenobi): First syllable : First syllable of my family name Second syllable : First syllable of my first name Third syllable : First syllable of my mother's family name Fourth syllable : First syllable of the city where I live. |

My family name and my mother's family name are each one syllable. I would ordinarily post the result, but I don't think you all need to know my answer to most financial institutions' security question.

Robbri Lawhaz? doesn't have that certain "something" to it that Han Solo has. Or Luke Skywalker. I like my birthname better.

Well the Buster came from my 1st wife. I was a welder in S. LA. My helper and I were going somewhere after work. As we started out the door, she said "buster if you come home tonight bla bla." He passed that around on job next day, so there ya go.
