    I named myself after a Roman king, and afterwards I realised that it can happily dovetail to read 'Super bus'.

    I was watching a lot of 'Stargate Atlantis' at the time. I just needed the account for something - hadn't really planned on saddling myself with Teyla forever. It'll do fine though.

    Dangerous Man
    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,674 ✭✭✭Dangerous Man


    My name kind of comes from two sources. 'Dangerous Man' is actually a generic wrestler name used in one of the Smackdown videogames. It was the name I picked for my created wrestler because it was so naff. Also, as I'm fairly well known to family and friends for being a danger to myself due to either clumsiness, thoughlessness or plain drunkeness - I thought it applied well.

    I always get banned from forums for trolling and being a d1ck so other forum users always seem to be prudish and the kind of people that respond a lot with "oh no". Weirdly boards users are more tolerant and I haven't gotten banned from here yet.
