  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,670 ✭✭✭quadrifoglio verde


    Mine is after Alfas recing emblem that has adorned all of their race cars. Back in the 1920s, alfa corse's second driver was a chap called Ugo Sivocci (Enzo Ferrari was the main driver) and he was cursed with awful luck. One day he painted a green cloverleaf onto the grill and won the Targa Florio. Few months after that he was killed in the race without the quadrifoglio and ever since its been on their race cars for luck.

    I'm a Hip Hop junkie. It's a combo of two rapper's names.

    Talib Kweli & Lupe Fiasco = Talib Fiasco. I think it sounds pretty cool.

    You just have to decide whether you are Tigger or an Eeyore. You have to be clear where you stand on the Tigger/Eeyore debate.

    My initials. I used to be able to leave certain messages for friends on a PC by renaming a file with a message in it and rename the file extension .ak so that way they would know it was from me. Childish and pointless, but it stuck.

    You sprayed your wolf blue, liked it, and decided to make it your username?. I like the wolf bit, cos you sort of are a prowler and a biter, the blue bit, I can take or leave. :)
