    - I like my beer
    - I love wolves
    - I like the horror character of Werewolves...
    - Combined, BeerWolf 'kinda' sounds like werewolf... :pac:

    Seachmall is Irish for "Illusion".

    I came up with it when I wanted to change my username on a magic forum many years ago.

    Mine came from a random drunken word game on the bus home. I can't remember what the game was about, or anything else from it, but cardboard window was the one thing I remembered and had a giggle at.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Old nickname, tried to get an MSN email address years ago something like razor2002, they obviously said it was taken so they suggested razor2k02 some other one or razorblunt, which was a genius suggestion so went with it.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,512 ✭✭✭Muise...


    'Muise' is an Irish word I haven't heard since childhood. It's the cousin of 'arra' - you say it when you don't disagree with what has been said, but have nothing further to add. I chose it because I wanted to avoid the trap of endless argument. The ellipsis leaves peat smoke and disappointment hanging in the air... :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    A small provinicial town where I broke my anal-sex cherry was used in a TV ad for butter. The whole butter/brando/anal sex thing made me think of Paris, which of course Rick and Ilsa would always have. And as everyone knows Paris is the city of Romance and February 14th is the most romantic day of the year. But February is also given an extra day every four years in what is known as a leap year. Quantum Leap was one of my favourite TV shows as a kid and Kids was one of my least favourite movies of the 90's. Joe's 90's was a covers album by Joe Dolan, a man who indulged in a bit of anal sex himself in a small provinicial town but the identity of his partner was a mystery. He was, essentially, anonymous. But Joe was strongly rumoured to be gay so his partner was most likely a boy.

    Hence AnonoBoy.

    I thank you. Goodnight.
