    any reason why they call you mushy? you a shroom addict?

    No, dont do drugs at all. Supposedly they kinda knew someone with long hair exactly like mine called Mushy, so the name was transferred onto me by them. I havent questioned this decision since

    I was listening to the Super Furry Animals when asked to come up with one. Sadly I found out afterwards there's another, more sinister brand of furry out there - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_lifestyler

    My story is boring... When I first connected to the internet in an internet café in Grafton Street it was to create an Yahoo! e-mail address. My name being Stéphane I requested it to be stephane@yahoo.com. Obviously it was taken so the website proposed a list of similar addresses. Steffano2002@yahoo.com was at the top so I just used that. And because my memory is poor I decided to use this for the (hundreds!) of website I have to create an account for... As you can see, boring/cr@p story...

    Mine comes from the place where I was born and schooled, Sligo. Why did I choose "yeatscounty"? Because I'm an unimaginative git, that's why.

    There a game called Zuma from popcap games that I like.

    Bejeweled and Rocket Mania are pretty good as well....but Zuma was shortest :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 386 ✭✭Revelation Joe


    From a very minor character in Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' books.
    Ronron Revelation Joe Shuwadhi appears in one footnote in one book out of a series of nearly thirty!
    Although he is also mentioned in the Discworld Noir game :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭WellyJ


    Weldon = surname

    Welly = nickname as a result :p

    J = First initial

    Therefore.....

    WellyJ was a logical choice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 779 ✭✭✭Narcissus


    I was gonna pick "Pisslips" but it was already taken. :)

    Nah, seriously, Apapaia is the name of a song by an Italian group called Litfiba.
