I've been at the forums for a while now, and while the art is for the most part very creative and almost always, interesting, I notice that everyone's names are too. I want to know the stories behind why you call yourselves what you do. I mean...come on...there's got to be some sort of interesting or strange significance behind stuff like "dr. bang" and "spoogedemon" and "capt. flushgarden" etc. etc. amongst others of course. Lay it on me, people! I want to know. I can handle it......I think....
Tell me why you are who you are.

[Giant Hamster]

used to draw hamsters in school. decided to keep one of them, "giant hamster" as my alias. That name was used when I was part of a 3 piece band. After a while, we stopped but I kept on with the music...and decided to call my uber-alias "The Hamster Alliance". Alliance taking a slight nudge from starwars with all it's alliances, councils, forces and "sides".

So, Giant Hamster of The Hamster Alliance.

No real point to it all. I just like it...and I'm one to stick with certain things forever.

[Rat]

Uhm.. I like rats. I act like a rat (seriously, I do). And yeah. So, I'm Rat. Actually, I'd like my nick changed to abunai-nezumi because I feel that's a little more personal, and it reflects my personality better (dangerous rat).

[Tzan]

Tzan was the name of my first Asheron's Call character back in 1999. Tzan is Sho heritage group, sort of asian, but I'm not asian. A friend of mine decided that she was going to use her AC character name in forums and I thought that was a good idea, so I did too

My real first name is David and there isnt much chance of joining a forum and actually being able to use that, its too common.

[Giant Hamster]

Zach: Now we both know that's a complete fucking lie. It has nothing to do with Vlad the Impaler. It has all to do with Lexington Steele AKA: Lex the Impaler. You like impailing little white chicks on your big black dick.

I speak the truth; Zach is Black.

[Freddio]

came up with this one back in 97 for irc

Freddo frogs gave me the idea, then i just changed it to Freddio

[Ragnarok]

A couple and a half years ago, before all the viking invasion on the media (with Max Payne, viking games and such) I read a book about nordic mythology and loved it. I found it to be fresh, different to the myths I've heard about before and loved the idea of the dead of all gods and monsters alike leaving a new world to just a couple of human beings.
That's why my nick's Ragnarok.

Although lately I've been using also Naeros in other forums and places because Ragnarok is pretty common nowadays.

[lafolli]

Mine is a nickname a friend used to call me, based on my surname. It means nothing in English but I found out later there is a similar word in French that means "Crazy Girl." Strangely enough, it fits. lol.

[Horrens]

lating for dark grim gloomy
took a latin dictionary a couple of years ago and looked up a word tha sounded somewhat pronauncable and had a meaning to suit my mood
now everyone calls me horrens it's strange to hear my own name anymore

@ RAT: I'm pretty sure rats are sniffin' buttocks too in oder to find out if their hos are ready to get shagged or not... I mean, c'mon, what da hell do you expect from some filthy rodent who's interested in finding out the flavour of his own pile 'o crap, ffs. I once had a rabbit and, I tell ya, I saw that fluffy fella doing things nastier than everything you could expect from a classical hentai tentacle rapeage freakshow.

... I really don't know where crazybread came from aside than from "little cesars" pizza commercials (canada) that ran about 5 years ago if I remember correctly. Anyways I don't eat bred cuz it sucks and you have to eat lots of it to fill up and even then you have to repeat the whole thing every two hours. I eat 5 yolks from eggs a day, a bit of meat, lots of lard, butter and drink 35%cream. I'm never hungry and supa fit! I'm on top of the world. I spell bad though. Shit! Why am I telling you all this???

[A-13]

Is A-13 even interesting? Meh. The full name is Prototype A-13, from an inside joke with my brother. The old Who Wants To Be A Millionare show was on, and this one contestant was acting really weird, and making these "ooooooh" noises, so we decided that he was a robot employed by a defeated contestant from a past show. Robots are better at trivia than humans, and we called the robot Prototype A-13. Ta-dah!

low cholosterol ehh? Just before a person is about to die they experience low cholesterol. Beside I get checked regularly and I'm fine. I haven't had a problem yet and I'v been eating like this for over 3 years. So surely I would have developed high cholesterol by now. I haven't though, and I won't. The KEY is to not over blow your carb intake (if anyone wants to know) Its the carbs that fuck us up. All that sugar is to blame for our fat to be stored by our bodies. All these people that tell you that cholesterol kills forget to tell you "only in the presence of higher than allowed sugar intake" (and I'm talking about more than 100 g. every 24h. The more low fat fucking veggies and bread people eat the more cancer and other fucked up ailings they get, you don't need me to tell you this just look arround. Just check out the KURDS in the mountains. these people live to be 100 on the average and all they eat is fat cheese, goat meat, butter and lard and guess what the're not complaining that they suffer from high cholesterol or fucked up diabetes and such. Eat 35-50 grams of good quality protein like from eggs (not more though). 100- 150 g. of fat and no more than 70g of carbs and you'll outlive your old age probably past your 100years mark. Believe me but DON'T take my word for it just look arround and since you're all artists and good observers draw your own conclusions. (Ohh shit I almost forgot. If you eat too much protein, you'll age fast and become all crusty looking and no body will like you) <---I'm kidding about nobody liking you cause I like you.

SHit! I'm starting to loose it so I'll just stop!

I don't think the "dr." part is the one that people wonder about Bang

Novacaptain is a rank you get during the single-player campaign on mechwarrior 2...Novacommander is another i think...it's been a while
