Years ago when I joined the rec and more the binaries there was a
woodchucker.
So I could not take the name, now there is no longer a woodchucker.
So I'm changing to woodchucker as a handle.
And giving at least my first name. Wish I could go more, but in my line
of work they know more about me at interviews than I care for them to know.

The answer is already known:
A woodchuck would chuck all the wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck
could chuck wood.
(I actually found that much harder to type than to say!)

I'm not a turner, but that is beautiful work. Very talented.

Love that comercial.

Just so you'd know ...
Years ago, a friend owned a large hardware and woodworking machinery
company. Occasionally I'd work their shows demonstrating various
products.
From time to time some clown would approach ask bogus questions which
were intended by him to display his supposed vast knowledge of
woodworking.
The salesmen called these guys: "woodchucks".

Woodchucker is a good alias--better than tiredofspam.
Course, you'll have to come up with an answer to the proverbial
question! : )

Here's the full scoop (from wikipedia):
The *groundhog* (/Marmota monax/), also known as a *woodchuck*,
*whistle-pig*, or in some areas as a *land-beaver*, is a rodent
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodent> of the family Sciuridae
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sciuridae>, belonging to the group of
large ground squirrels <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_squirrel>
known as marmots <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmot>. Other marmots,
such as the yellow-bellied
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow-bellied_Marmot> and hoary marmots
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoary_Marmot>, live in rocky and
mountainous areas, but the woodchuck is a lowland creature. It is widely
distributed in North America
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America> and common in the
northeastern and central United States
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States>.

I didn't mean for it to come out with all of the links. I use the
SeaMonkey newsreader, and for technical reasons, I now compose in html
and send as text. I'll see if I can find a way to see the text that
will get sent before I send it. Besides for these links, which I've
never encounted before, I'm noticing works being run together too
(without a space beween them).

It's definitely better than upchucker.
