My own nick is the name of a brand of tablets used for cleaning false teeth :p Where did everyone else get theirs? Out of mere curiosity.

syl.....for Strapping Young Lad. Not sure why I picked it, its the name of a Devin Townsend band, and just sort of a cool saying. Not sure what criteria a person needs to have to become one, but if I find out, I'll be sure to pass with flying colours!!!!!

BEAT

well I get mine from the term "beat" also known as beatnik as it was later coined, I am a 'beat' essentially...the writing I do and the way I think about life and live my life fits into the category, I picked it all up from the original Beat himself, Jack Kerouac. He coined the phrase Beat, in later years the press, reporters, journalist types turned the phrase into a term that was used for all young people of that era who fit a certain steroetype, they were called beatnik's , a term that Jack Kerouac detested and refused to be associated with for being a 'beat" and a Beatnik are two very different things indeed.
two other "beat's" of that era who were all in the same circle as it were,
Allen Ginsberg and Neal Cassady. They changed a generation and opened many door's to the way life is, or could be today.

You know when you've been on boards.ie a long time:
-when you see the "Where'd you get your nick" thread for the forth time.

Special prize* to those who can find out where I got my nick and to post links to all previous similar threads to this.

*prize is non-existent, you're statutory rights maybe defiled terribly, no purchase required.
