    I said "Aye, alright then"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Someone called me it one day and I liked the word, then chose it as my username when signing up to here. It suits me as I'm not remotely girlie in some respects, yet hyper-feminine in others.

    I like Wallace & Gromit and also evil penguins. Seemed like a logical choice.
    A villainous pet penguin in a small town in the north of England with a machine gun who operates a huge counterfeit clothing ring at night, and pretends to be really sweet and gentle and innocent during the day - to the point that his owner thinks the friendly dog is bullying him... Could you get more genius? I think not.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    I'd watched this excellent cartoon shortly before signing up and though the King of Moo was a very cool character, so I chose to name myself after him.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,962 ✭✭✭✭dark crystal


    When signing up to a film website, I chose the first film containing a girl's name I could think of - The Dark Crystal. Just kept that username for most other sites so as not to forget.

    I still get confused for a guy a lot though :o
