Anyway where does your user name come from?
Mine's from a song by Ben Folds Five called;
"One angry dwarf and 200 solemn faces".

Anyone remember Motor Mouth?? Saturday morning 'going live type' programme? 'Bout 12 or 13 years ago?
Remember those little video games where the person played with their phone buttons?
Remember Joe Razz?
Friend of mine in primary school thought I looked like him (and I liked to jump and climb about the place too!) It's stuck from then. I've used variation called KakaRaz from my Dragonball Z phase

and Joe-Raz or Joe_Raz for different things.
You wouldn't think there was so much behind those 3 little letters.
I've only ever used one other nick. Psycho9 (Psycho was taken so I put in a number like all noobs do

) I thought it was cool

Funky · 10-09-2003 10:22PM

well i thought in my 11 year old days hey , FunkyChicken , thats a funny internet alias , till i realised it was a dance and so i shortened it to Funky or FunkyC

Repli · 10-09-2003 10:22PM

I remember playing some fighting game and 1 of the guys was called Replicon.. I gues this is just a shortened version

Kalina · 10-09-2003 11:10PM

It's a character name in an Elyne Mitchell novel. Simple.

Barry Aldwell · 10-09-2003 11:44PM

suppafly · 11-09-2003 12:48AM

Mine comes from JoeCartoon.com . The cartoon with the beer flies in it. I think Joe cartoon is the funniest is ever!

mr_angry · 11-09-2003 01:02AM

Mine comes from just being generally angry. Not all the time, but I seem to come out with unusually psychotic statements now and again. In between, I'm a pacifist though.

For example, one time myself and my friends were sitting in the DKIT canteen. For the past few days, people had been stealing our seats while we were up getting food, but on this particular day, we'd been lucky. Anyway, nobody had talked for about 10 minutes - we'd all been busy eating. It began to become obvious though, and one of my mates said "What's everyone been thinking about for the last 10 minutes?". The other guys said something fairly normal, but when it came to me, I said "I wonder how threatening it would be to go up to someone who'd stolen your chair, wielding a plastic fork, and say 'Its a good job they don't give us metal cutlery in the canteen', in a very sinister way". People seemed to be very worried about that, for some reason. It was just an idle daydream...

Anyway, that's where mr_angry came from. The 4 was just because mr_angry was already taken. It was probably me, and I'd just forgotten I'd registered already. Still, made me angry. Grrr...

passive · 11-09-2003 01:06AM

the placebo song "passive agressive". it was my display name during a whiny/angry at the world time...then i moved on to just whiny so i ditched the "agresssive". and here ya go

Ro: maaan! · 11-09-2003 01:20AM

I'm thinking the missing digits are "a" and "t". I think everyone should have a guess...

My name's Ronan. If you write it into a phone, predictive text makes Roman of it. Then it's a simple process of seperating it into two words, throwing in an extra "a" or two in the second word, and jazzing it up with a ":" and a "!". Sounds rather good on me...

blondie83 · 11-09-2003 01:23AM

Mine came from the colour of my hair, although I suppose you already all guessed that one!:D

mr_angry · 11-09-2003 01:42AM

Wow, so there are other Placebo fans in Ireland? And I thought we were a dying breed...

Star Wars book. Borsk Fey'Lya, a Bothan senator. Apparently. Very hairy, sneaky, backstabbing soab.

skittishkitten · 11-09-2003 02:04AM

My Yahoo ID ...... I've had it for along time

Cabaal · 11-09-2003 02:08AM

I've used a number of nicks in my time, but Cabaal comes for the name of the Nod computer in C&C Tiberian Sun.

Also it has something to do with spirits or something and its also a group/collection but I believe that Cabaal is spelled differently.

Right bed for me...

Redshift · 11-09-2003 02:14AM

Well I'm into astronomy and Redshift is a term for a technique used for measuring the speed at which other stars are moving away from us blah blah blah;)

thus my name.

I had often wondered about your name actually, but I don't know you so I didn't think it would be right to ask.

I suppose I assumed it meant nothing really, but it struck me as a quite "poetic" sounding phrase. Well now I know - cheers!

ixoy · 11-09-2003 03:52AM

Mine is ixoy, coming from ixianboy, a nick I've used for many years. Ixianboy is, essentialy, an Ixian boy, or someone from Ix. Ix was a planet in all the Dune books. Can I sleep now... I've been drinking...
