    Came here with questions.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 484 ✭✭jeanjolie


    I was a user on another forum with the name jean. I picked that name originally because I met an attractive French white girl my age in Monaco who looked about 25 was 4 inches taller than me and played tennis and very muscular in a hot way.:):p:o Farthest thing from my 5ft 4in scrawny non athletic self. What got me hooked was the fact that she was born in the same country as me (I'm not Irish or European).

    so I picked jean pretty i.e. jeanjolie.

    Been an outlaw for most of my life tbh.

    When I was six months old I'd already spent three months in jail and when I got out I robbed a bank in my diapers and me bare feet. When I was 25 I a stole a pony and one night I awoke from a vision of my own death. So next morning I saddled up my pony and rode out deep into the West. Shortly after I aarried a girl and settled down.

    Then one day I was peacefully fishing by a river and a bounty hunter called Dan came to get me. He took out his gun but I drew a knife from my boot, threw it, and pierced him through the heart. Dan smiled as he lay there dying in his blood but just before he died he whispered in my ear ""We cannot undo these things we've done".

    That freaked my head out and so for the next forty days and nights I rode and I didn't stop until I found this ridge. It was high up on an icy mountain top. I watched a hawk slip and slide for a while. Then I moved to the edge, and dug my spurs deep into the pony's side.

    Oh and my name is (was?) Pete.

    Think of that Springsteen song every time I see one of your posts

    My name isn't james. Nor bond. I'm not particularly junior neither. Just loved the cartoon as a kid. I closed another account just to rename myself as it happens.

    Do you at least chase scum around the world?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,339 ✭✭✭Filmer Paradise


    I like classic cars & read about them & the companies that made them.

    Filmer Paradise was a fast talking American high ranking sales dude with Ford & British Leyland back in the day.

    A name like that tends to stick in ones mind...

    I think I was eating popcorn at the time and the fresh stuff not the stuff out of a foil bag!

    I just like thinking up mildly amusing names...this is probably my 10th or 12th reincarnation here


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,263 ✭✭✭robyntmorton


    It's me. No funny story. No seeing something or eating something on the toilet or anything like that. Quite boring. Sorry to disappoint.

    Cause I'm on rail like a train

    What does your username mean?
    Comes from Viz comic's Roger Irrelevant. Sorta.

    Screen-Shot-2014-10-16-at-09.55.41.png

    He and other actors in his world would say "wibble" a lot and since I'm wont to wander off on ind numbingly odd and dull tangents... The word "planets" we use to describe our local heavenly bodies comes from the Greek "planetie"(sp) their word for "wandering thing"... I used that as a username early on, back before the Great Depression(of Facebook/Snapchat) in other forums and shortened it to Wibbs here.

    And yes I am most certainly completely hatstand. #fribber

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Apt username (so your long posts and customary * are forgiven)

    Plus, Viz being such a classless classic, means i can hold no grudge against any fan for any past, present or future offense.



    * the additional info might or might not be relevant to the topic but the fact that your posts have been scientifically proven to loosen knicker elastic, is worthy of mention. Also, it would be useful to include the trademark symbol from MS Word; write the addendum in a smaller font size or just have this bit longer than the OP.

    I didn't pick it - it picked me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20 Smurfette principle


    Because I am transsexual and if you wiki "Smurfette principle" the first line ends with "to include only one woman in an otherwise entirely male ensemble" which is pretty much a good description of us in 15 words or less

    You like fried eggs on toast?!

    Joanna Krupa has, imo, the nicest pair of knpckers out there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,413 ✭✭✭Stigura


    It's as close as one can get to my surname. Translated into a language probably only Wibbs would have even heard of.

    I've just sort of run out of ideas for bloody handles. Scraping the barrel now :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,167 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Everyone else is going with Fr Ted names and I just wanted to be different.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,214 ✭✭✭cbyrd


    My first and last initials and half my maiden name. Squished together when I was still married.
