    I was a fan of spiderman as a child. I loved how he used to swing.

    I am a massive fan of golf and I have this need to fix other people's golf swings. I was helping my dad's golf swing when he said that I was a real swingking :)

    White man came across the sea
    He brought us pain and misery
    He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
    He took our game for his own need

    We fought him hard we fought him well
    Out on the plains we gave him hell
    But many came too much for cree
    Oh will we ever be set free?

    Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
    Galloping hard on the plains
    Chasing the redskins back to their holes
    Fighting them at their own game
    Murder for freedom a stab in the back
    Women and children and cowards attack

    Run to the hills run for your lives
    Run to the hills run for your lives

    Soldier blue on the barren wastes
    Hunting and killing their game
    Raping the women and wasting the men
    The only good indians are tame
    Selling them whisky and taking their gold
    Enslaving the young and destroying the old

    Run to the hills run for your lives

    Back when I first joined Boards.ie 8 years ago, I wrote a lot - mainly poems, some short stories. They're all gone now. :(

    I was sitting, bored, at some dumb lecture in college next to an old mate.
    For some reason I started drawing a one-legged super-villain.
    He has psychic nipple related abilities and an arch-nemesis, one rusty man. He was the fabled inventor of Punk Fu, a form of martial art we also invented to set up a fake club in the SU in yet another stuffy pointless lecture, which includes such moves as the Nostrollix (Which is two fingers on one hand clutching the nostrils, and the other hand grabbing hold of the bollox, then lifting the enemy over your head using these grips.
    There was also a two handed nostril grab, where you use the index fingers of both hands to lift someone up by their nostrils, etc.
    We kinda figured that there would be absolutely no point in actually inventing a mythical super villain if he didn't have a kick ass theme song ala 1980s cartoons. So most of the actual super powers Dr. Bollocko was just to insert a rhyme.
    Such as
    "Enemies are crushed by his evil nipple,
    He's an evil doctor and he is a cripple."
    As for the actual name, it just bounced out. He was an evil Doctor, we liked Gonzo style and we were both bollixes, so we just spewed out Dr. Bollocko amongst a number of others and it stuck. It has a nice cadence, sounds vaguely naughty, and ends in O but I can still get away with it when regging forum accounts.
    From there it went into the college paper as a bi-weekly update on Dr. Bollocko's antics in the college. So you could say, every day, in some way, I am aspiring to become the evil genius that we created that day.

    Sounds like a knacker... well I wont get into the entrails but it involves some secret enforced cannabalism as a reaction to eugenics laws in the 1970's that saw the end of Dr Bollocko's right to propagate and the possible beginning of a new singing career.

    I always thought it was a shame you had to change yours. Horsefucker was quite poetic.

    My nickname used to be kaids, because I had aids. I'm clear now, but my peep is on the frits. My avatar also used to be Pepe from the Simpsons. It's too crazy to explain. 100%.

    I'm sure I replied to an identical thread less than 2 weeks ago...

    Anywho, it's supposed to be "the poet" as Gaeilge, but I accidentally spelt it with an extra 'h'. I chose the name because I wanted to post my poems in the Creative Writing forum, and also because I really enjoying using the Irish language. Simple really! :)

    Strange story.........

    When my sister was younger she couldnt pronounce my name(Fiona) properly and called me Noni, which changed to Nonini which sounds like the Irish for Daisies. Used that coz all the combinations of my names were taken:cool:
