Geez, I’ve started a trend with the “!” at the end of the name. O.K. here’s my question. What does “Wimble” really mean? It’s your alias name, I know, but what’s the true meaning of “Wimble”?

DP!

Dear DP!,

Yes, DP!, you have started somewhat of a trend. And there may be more to it than just the !. But I won’t go there. May be inappropriate for the young readers. I’m glad you asked this question. I’m sure many people are interested in know where my name came from and what it actually means.

“Wimble” is a nickname given to me by college friends. Some of you may already know the history behind it. I won’t go into detail, because one definition of Wimble is not appropriate. However, that was just a definition from the game Balderdash from one of my so called “friends”. How RUDE!!!

Anyway’s, the real definition is “a small tool used for boring”. (That’s boring holes, kind of like drilling, but bigger).

But the nickname did come from the game Balderdash. We were playing it one night, and I got bored, so I started making the definitions being other people. This word happened to be the definition that someone wrote about me. So, it stuck.

I will have to admit though, the nickname does make for a great “genius” name. Doesn’t it? Wimble. What is the first think that pops in your head when you read this? A genius? Or an idiot? Ok. I guess it’ll fit for both. I’ll let you decide

Hope I was able to help. Glad to hear from you again.

Dear Red,

Dear, dear, dear Red… I’m not real sure where I should begin with answering this “question”… I mean, honestly, I can go almost anywhere with this one. I could actually be direct and tell you what is happening with the Great Wimble, but where’s the fun in that? So, I’ve decided I’m gonna start out by taking everyone on a little grammar lesson…

When I first read this “question”, there were a few things I couldn’t quite figure out. Let’s take a look at it like this:

Original Question: WhWaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuopppppppppp?

Now, let’s break that down a bit.

New Question: WhWasuop?

Now, let’s look at that for a minute. I couldn’t quite figure out at first what your “question” was actually saying. I was also having an extremely difficult time trying to pronounce your “question”… You try it, and let me know. Fortunately, due to my pure genius, I was able to decode it. “What was in your soup?” That’s what I got out of it. Of course, the soup part of it could have been a simple typo too, since you spelled it “suop”. Unfortunately, I’m not real sure what soup you happen to be talking about.

Well, I will have to apologize for not being able to tell you what was in my soup. But thank you for your “question” and I hope to hear from you again.

Three Questions:

1) What is your name?

2) What is your Quest?

3) What is the air speed velocity of an unlaiden swallow?

Dear InsaneBoi,

Wow, we got us a triple question here. I can tell you are trying to stump the Great Wimble. Unfortunately, that will never be possible. But I applaud your attempt.

Question #1) What is my name? That’s an easy one. The Great Wimble of Tech.

Question #2) What is my quest? My quest is to seek all that is Holy.

Question #3) What is the air speed velocity of an unlaiden swallow? Now this is the “stumper”. Fortunately, it’s easy for the Great Wimble. First of all, let me point out that you actually want to know the speed of an unladen swallow. It’s also important to know whether you mean an African or European swallow. But, in all seriousness now, the average top speed of a swallow is about 45 mph.

Hope I was able to answer your questions. May I cross the bridge now?
