Same With me. It just works. And no one forgets your name... or confused when they talk about one of the 50 Jeffs we have.
Sharp = my last name Spine = I'm a chiropractor It's also my website and office name! While learning about the joys and art of TWS, I hope to help someone learn about chiropractic and true health!
Noticing lots of new folks. Love it! The latest was monkeytennis. Reminded me of this thread; over a year since the last post. Hope you find this thread, monkeytennis! Inquiring minds want to know!
I have been a member of many forum over the years, but this is the first time I have used this nick. My regular nick is not english, so I thought why not use a new one? I initially considered Erik the Viking (after the movie). But found it too similar to the Trueblood character who is Swedish And also, my non digital name is not Erik and due to the fact that a lot of Americans I have spoken with online, thinks that the Vikings are from Minnesota, made that name a poor choice. So Norseman came to mind, and I guess it stayed there.
Mines original. Simply the first initial of my first name, followed by my last name. Only for some reason I put the "L" as a lowercase letter. It was an oversight.
Similar to DJ Kitteh K above me, mine's part first name, part last name. I figured "TehPenguinCzarOfCheddar" sounded a bit pretentious.
The name relates to my field of work. Yes I am in law enforcement and the term "five-o" became street slang from the tv series Hawaii Five O.
I've been using the handle "PLANofMAN" online for years. It's also my Xbox Live gamertag. (and PS3 gamertag as well, I registered in case I ever decide to jump on the Sony bandwagon.) The name came from a now obscure SciFi book series called The Starchild Trilogy. One of the characters was a super computer that ruled the world. The name of the government was "Plan of Man." The reason I spell it the way I do is because when I signed up for Xbox live I didn't know you could have spaces in the wording. I've been PLANofMAN ever since.
Just my first name and the first 2 letters of my last. The 42 is actually something that was randomly generated on some other thing when I couldn't use just JimPo and it stuck.
Skyfox originally came from my username from my Yahoo account (suffixed with a different number). I just thought of it and thought it sounded kinda cool. 12 was just another number to use besides the one for my yahoo account for security purposes.
Long story. I'm a sucker for language games. I own a book called " Opperlandse taal- en letterkunde" which you can translate as "Upperlands language & literature". (Upperlands as opposed to Netherlands). It is a book full of language fun nonsense fun. Examples: The A-Saga (a story witch only uses wordt with the vowel "a"), palindromes (potstalmelkkoortspilstaalplaatslipstrookklemlatstop), the longest word using each letter once, the shortest sentence using all letters of the alphabe, nonsensical grammar etcetera. You might say: why bother to go to such lenghts to write up a coherent story without using the letter "i"? But on the other hand, you don't ask somebody who spent years training to learn to jump 8 yards why on earth they didn't consider walking the same distance. Much easyer. But the fun is in the trying. Same with language. For instance: You know the latin medicus - medici (one doctor - two doctors). So you can use this grammar on modern words. One bus - two bi, a big plus, two big pli. But it works the other way round as well, and here at last it comes: a bag of macaroni - one.... macaronus! Yeah, I know. Nothing spectacular, but I once started to using it for fun and kinda stuck to it.
