'Origin' of Your User Name

[Silver Moon]

I have 1.75 cats. The .75 of a cat is often referred to as Tripod or by his Indian name, "Dances with Chevys." The lack of a leg spawned the inevitable comparison to a pirate.

Wow P-Cat, it's a good thing I didn't know that was the criteria I was supposed to use to pick a user name. You may remember from the last Round Zero that you attend at my house that I have a cat named Weebles who has Cerebral Palsy. Using him as the basis my user name would be "Jon the Wobbly".

 

[Bonedagger]

At the time I came here I didn't think I would stay long (Started out as being a troll). So remembering bonedaggers from 2nd ed. being described as extremly sharp (;-)) I got curious about if anybody had taken the name.... That was about the same time I had to name my account.

I decided to stick with it because of the email address it was connected to and since then it has growen on me. I don't ,however, use this account name anywhere else.

You know, Jon, they say that absolute power corrupts absolutely. If you want me to change your custom title to something else, just let me know!

OK, I guess I asked for that one. I'll let you know if I can think of another name - let's see what others might have for suggestions.

 

[Malin Genie]

Descartes.

Originally it was 'geniemalin' (the English word order, which I still am on other fora) but the French feel that the adjective 'evil' is one of the few important enough to go before the noun.

[Airwolf]

I suppose most people have guessed this, but my name is from the movie, Princess Bride.

When I registered on Nutkinland last month, I was surprised to find out that everyone thought it referred to the repulsive and badly drawn Power Puff Girls. It doesn't.

Thanks for posting this BC. I had no idea where your name came from. My wife saw it on the screen and she suggested it was from PB. We had a short discussion about where your name came from.


Regards,
Airwolf

 

[megamania]

Megamania is a comic book character I created. If you break it down it means

(paraphrased) a powderkeg of emotional and physical energy x1000

neat?

 

[Reprisal]

A Nuclear Reprisal Inbound From Outerspace...

Long ago, back when I was still in Secondary School, I used the name "Catalyst" and later "Catalyst001" until such a time that I discovered that the name was quite numerous in the places that I inhabited. Plus, hehe, I never really liked being called "Cat" whenever I was playing a game of Q2CTF or something.

So I took the name from a line in a song by Matthew Good -- much maligned in many circles -- and adopted it. I can still be found here and there by the name of Nuclear_Reprisal, but generally speaking, I've shortened it to Reprisal. Plus, hehe, I didn't really like being called "Nuke" when I was playing Counterstrike.

Now, I'm Reprisal. Hooray, and they tend to call me "Rep" on Day of Defeat now... if anything at all, hehe.

Neat thread,

- Rep.

 

[Carnifex]

Carnifex is just a latin word that I like, because it means 'executioner'

 

[scarymonkey]

I got scarymonkey from some old episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast. He said something like "Are you a nice monkey or a scary monkey? " Oh well, it was funny at the time. I guess you had to be there. I have also used that nickname for years while playing too much Starcraft on battlenet.
