    Some of this is the truth, I don't quite remember which bits.

    I "chat" online exactly as in person, some friends would laugh (lol :) when they saw logs of IRC chats because they could "hear" ever erm....hmm etc.
    Messiah is because for those few "fortunate" enough to see my...man bits... they would fallon their knees and whisper "jesus!"
    Because I'm an empathic magick healer, and have (on rare occasions) saved online folks (waaay too long a story )
    Erm I'm well a carpenter bloke, with a beard (and celibate hehe)
    I'm a stigmatist.
    I am in fact ....wait for it........... The Resurrection and the Life.
    Or some far more serious explanation, which oewuld make sense in a Magick/Religion/Philosophy thread but perhaps not here.
    Because MmmbopMessiah was "already in use".

    No real mystery behind my choice of user name - I absolutely love Father Ted!

    Just a random word that I thought of 2 years ago.

    Sounds a bit gothic which is gay

    Language are related.

    The Maori myths actually tell of a place called Hawaiki.

    Frobisher is a brilliant character from one of my favourite books ever called Cloud Atlas, by David Mitchell.
    Go read it!

    I thought of mine out of nowhere really. I only found out what a sock puppet means on internet forums after i joined.

    Trying to come up with ultimate superhero in school, name came a bit obviously. Add Johnny in front of anything and you get a good name (see : Nmenoic etc...). After making a short film documenting Dr Jonathan Ultimate's rise to power, decided to use it as my email. Bizarrely, no one had used the name before so now i frequent many message boards / email adresses using the name johnny_ultimate.

    mine's a nickname that i had a long long time ago...It somehow 'fitted' *just right* and has been my web pseudonym ever since.

    it means 'little one' in finnish....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    It's irony, because I'm teetotal.

    What's behind my boards username? An ass-crack usually...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,240 ✭✭✭✭Fanny Cradock


    Well, as I began my forum experience on forums populated by some very ignorant Americans (not saying the majority are) - the different meanings between the term "fanny" was my little jibe at them . Possibly, as I'm male, adopting a female name has caused confusion (I've been chatted up more than once), but it's too late now, I guess.

    My username is a brilliant 1950s F1 driver tragically killed at the Nurburgring and a dreadful 1990s F1 commentator magically employed at RTE

    Is this the kind of freak accident that involved lube and EMTs laughing hilariously at really inappropriate times?
