Mine comes from when I used to fly a lot of Air Canada 319/320/321 transcon domestic flights. As an AC Elite ac.com used to always assign me 13A which is the 2nd row of Y and although they are reserved for top tier AC pax they actually have less pitch than the rows further back. Being 6'3" the minute the non status pax that somehow always got the 12A bulkhead seat reclined his/her seat I became....

I was once an ugly duckling,but I grew into a swan.
As I may have said before my handle came from the James Bond Novel "Goldfinger". The heroine is Pussy Galore. I thought of that but decided that the PC brigade would have a field day with it - so along came the designer Emilio Pucci and Pucci Galore was born. Well - arose from the seas like Aphrodite GOddess of Love.
I can also vouch for Dyogenes Bear as he was so names by my best friends partner Roy. Why Dyogenes was so named as the namesake lived in a barrel and Dyogenes lives in luxury - and flies the same. No down the back for him! Dyogenes was a promotion several Christmasses ago as being Ł5 with purchase of Ł50 or more - but we do not remind him of that.

Now my charms are all o'erthrown,
And what strength I have's mine own,
Which is most faint: now, 'tis true,
I must be here confined by you,
Or sent to Naples. Let me not,
Since I have my dukedom got
And pardon'd the deceiver, dwell
In this bare island by your spell;
But release me from my bands
With the help of your good hands:
Gentle breath of yours my sails
Must fill, or else my project fails,
Which was to please. Now I want
Spirits to enforce, art to enchant,
And my ending is despair,
Unless I be relieved by prayer,
Which pierces so that it assaults
Mercy itself and frees all faults.
As you from crimes would pardon'd be,
Let your indulgence set me free.
To be honest, as much as I adore Dame Vanessa, I'm a Steven Seagal man at heart

So you are a Duke of Milan, a Sorcerer, and the Father of Caliban and a Moderator.
Magnifique. Would you accept a Muccihood?
