[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9487937, member: 4348"] Well, I thought about using Snarf from Thundercats and using an anagram of Gary's last name...but found someone had snitched it...and used something a little close to it. Just kidding...Gary actually said he'd beat me over the head if I tried to make that my Username, and seeing he had a rubber duck in hand at the time...thought better of it. So, then ended up using the same moniker I had already used for some time before...luckily no one had taken that one. (been beaten to it on other forums though, so just because it has my username...doesn't mean it's me. It seems a little more popular than I would have imagined). I used it in my character names, in my hacks (yes, there are hacks that have this moniker found within them, even some original cheats in games and such, as well as hidden in texts from long ago books and other things for those who want to hunt them down), and anyplace I wanted to be anonymous. Unfortunately, a certain bounty hunter found me and now you see him as the avatar of my demise. He actually looks cooler than he really is. In reality he got bopped on his jetpack and flew into a pit. I think he caused the creature in the pit to burp and have indigestion which helped him escape it later...but...I mean...going out in that manner was just a let down. PS: I think the bounty hunter was a Tom Petty fan as well. I couldn't really tell as the last I saw of him was him going... "AAAAAAHHHHH" in deep regret, and me being stuck chained to some wierd ship that blasts off into the cosmos...but...I suppose that's what he meant. PPS: And obviously 9/10...or is that 99/100 of my post is tongue in cheek, and joshing around. The other 1%...well...that's deadly serious....if deadly could be serious. [/QUOTE]
