Dancer won another car

Sometimes I go by AlanLeroy Jr. if I want a little anonymity.
When people say they need money I tell them I'm available.

Here in LA almost everyone has a stage name. Heck, there is an accountant in Newport Beach who changed his legal name to Dave Tax. (Google him.)

Friedmush is only my pen name. Pathetic, I know.

I once had a girlfriend who also went by a false name... and one day around tax time, I found a supermarket shopping bag filled with W2 and 1099 forms... she was an actress... and each tax form was from a different job... working as an extra, bit parts, etc.

thats what she told me.

what she couldnt explain to me was why each tax form had a different name and a different SS#

thats when she told me she was an illegal alien... from Canada.

But I'd argue there's no reason for Twain or "AC" to need pseudonyms for their lives' works.

I think Dancer has good reason to do his work under a pseudonym, and it's similar to the reasons strippers, graffiti artists, and drug dealers have.
Ah, so a professional video poker player, who plays according to the casino's rules, has the same reason to be incognito as illegal drug dealers and illegal graffiti artists. Judge much?

Hmmm. Maybe this is the reason for the nom de plume:

Are you saying that the girl I gave $200 in tips to at the Spearmint Rhino, wasn't really "Summer Rain"?

Damn it all !!
