Simple really, I was wondering what your name means, or what it stands for?

I picked Pooka after seeing the film Harvey with Jimmy Stewart. I also did a bit of research on the Pooka and this is what I found out...
The Pooka has his origins in the Celtic fertility spirit and is remembered in recent history as a trickster figure; it is from the name Pooka that the term boogey man was eventually derived. A few thousand years back, the Pooka was originally a central European god known as the Boga, a nature god similar to the Greeks' Pan. Some etymologists claim that the Slavic word Bog was derived from Boga. Bog of course, is the Slavic name for the Almighty, and is the predecessor of the English word God. You might find it amusing to tell your Christian friends that every time they invoke the name of God, they are, in fact, praying to a great horny rabbit.

Cool eh?????

Mine is Hebrew for 'God is gracious'. The Celtic version of it is Shawn, which is a way cooler name. I am disappointed with my Anglo-Saxon self.

The fifth grade is the ideal time to drop out of school. Once you learn how to share, not eat glue, read, write, and do basic math, you're all set.

We learned how to arc weld several 50 cent pieces together in metalwork at high school (well I did anyway). Which is a handy skill to have in life. Even if the lady at the school canteen wouldn't accept it when I went to buy a cookie...

My ex girlfriend told me I won't graduate because my school sucks.

This was approximately ten minutes before I ripped her face off and pissed on it.

Man, that was frightening.

And just for the record, I don't know the glory of trig analysis NOW, as I failed 11th grade Algebra II, the class of horrors. Math can kiss my ass, in general.

Mine's because I like to rent stuff a lot. Movies, books, couches, heavy machinery. You name it, I've probably rented it before. The big things on my list right now are a plane (I've rented it with a pilot before, but not just the plane), a hundred foot yacht (taken care of the 50 and 75 ft), and an office building. It's such a rush. You really should try it.
