I come from a long line of innovators and inventors.

For example, one of my direct ancestors, before coming to America, discovered the color Orange.

My great Great Grandfather invented the question mark.

My father tradmarked the term "moron" in the late 50's, before anyone had the insight to trademark terms for profit.

I, however, am just an artist.
I am listed on IMDB, have over 15 years of filmwork under my hat, and recently ran away with the circus and now part of the worlds largest show in Vegas.

You cannot trademark terms for profit.
The fact that Microsoft was able to trademark "Windows" is shrowded in mystery.....
He was denied the trademark until they just let him have it for no explanation.....

You didn't read it right. Moron.
This was BEFORE all that. Moron.
I have license to use the term freely given it is now an heirloom term, thanks to my father's intuitive insight.

Moron.

I would love to know the history of a city named Pigeon Forge. I imagine a large forged steel pigeon in the town square.

Hey, Pigeon Forge is one the coolest spots in the south, and Gatlinburg TN is only a few miles away AND Pigeon Forge has some of the best car shows around. It is one the places you should go to see some of the smoky mtns. at its best. The scenery is amazing and the weather is usually nice in the spring, summer, fall. I have never visited around x-mas but I am sure it is cold. However some parts of town are very tourist oriented and can get old very quick. i prefer this area to Disney any day of the week. I will hush my proud southern mouth now.

Gotta love search engines:

The name Pigeon Forge was derived in 1820 when Isaac Love built an iron forge on the Little Pigeon River.

Although the forge was dismantled in 1885, a mill was built around the same time and still operates today using the same machinery.

The Old Mill, a national historic site, is more than 150 years old.

Ahhh, what I think is funny is the person that lives in Pigeon forge did not address the inquiry, but that makes sense because most of us don't know a dang darn thing about where we live. But now you have to ask, How Little was that pigeon , and was there a river of pigeons??? But I digress this is way to much off topic convo, back to What do people do for a living.

I sit at a desk and talk to people about cars all day long. Sometimes I get to waste time on SL and other forums ...you guessed it... talking about cars.

I'm a machine operator at a lawn and garden store. I have fun popping wheelies on our Case 1850 loader and moving 3500lb pallets of rock with a biga$$ forklift.
