Oh, but how did we some up with this elaborate name, MR. Karl? One might find themself asking...
It all started late in my Freshman year of high school. I realized that I enjoyed writing and, as any good (or, embarassed) writer needs, I would need a pseudonym.
So, after playing many video games (most of which would ask for four initials, which I had not) I started thinking about what I might do with the initials that I had. KRL.
KRL, KRL, KRL...curl...oh, Karl! And what is Karl? Oh, Richard's son. (My dad, Dick)
So, I wrote a little: Karl Richardson, Richard Carlson, Johnny Carlson (perhaps you've seen my show?)
And I played a lot of Bolo: Karl, Special 'K', O'K' Brand Karl (I was nutty for that drink!) Big 'n' Hairy (Let me explain,
often, after being killed, a person would stick his head up from the monitor as ask, yelling, Who's Karl!? Who killed me?!
So.."Who's Big 'n' Hairy"...you get the picture. It went on to include ((not just from me)) "Who's F---ing my sister?" and others)
Anyway..When internet access came TO BE in my HS, I decided that I needed something more, something origional, something that wouldn't be missed.
Well, when in a pinch, try Latin prefexes. I never took Latin, but they (the prefexes, that is) often seem cool.
So came "ilumni" of the light. I might not use the preferred pronounciation, but all those Latin scholars out there who gripe
can just go to...Latania, or whereverthehell they think their dead language came from.
