    Ever since the first day I joined I was curious. What is the meaning, if any, is there behind \"Shoeless\" ? Is there a special meaning to it or just a funny off the wall name?

    I always figured his name was a reference to \"Shoeless\" Joe Jackson, of baseball fame. Seeing this is a hockey forum though, I\'m likely wrong.

    Actually I am a very serious on-line duplicate bridge player. When I left the real bridge world behind to come to Korea, I naturally migrated to the on-line world because bridge translates very well there. The day I first logged in and was looking for a nick I looked down at my bare feet and realized I seldom wear anything on my feet when I am playing. Seemed like a good enough nick and I carry it with me in most of my on-line dealings. The alternative was \'bucknaked\' but that seemed a little too far out.

    Do you also sit in a toilet when playing bridge? haha j/k. I knew there had to be some meaning to it other than just off the wall name. Thanks for the reply you have settled my curiousity.

    Well you know the mind is complicated DAW - I would guess that Joe\'s nick might have been a trigger somehow. But I certainly don\'t associate my nick with him.
