Preserved Topic: Hmmm...strange names (Page 2 of 2)

Rend, all this time I've been wondering where I saw that quote before! Now I remember. Good game.

My screen name came from an old Nintendo (NES) game called Dragon Warrior, which they're actually redoing now for game boy. Slime is the weakest enemy in the game; I saw an animated cartoon version of the game (made for kids of course) and thought the Slimes looked really neat... seven years later, it's my screen name in just about everything having to do with the internet.

And my real name is John. My parents were really creative like that.

I loved that game!!
That was the 2nd RPG I ever played through.

That was a long time ago, however.

Btw, Eye of the Beholder was the first <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

The Character Rincewind is a sleazy lazy guy:
Loves: Avoid danger at all times especially when it's live threatening. Getting money from everyone without doing much for them.
(stealing is a good option hasseling is better) Go to the bar waste the money and watch the latest fight.

Rincewind also has a special right because Mr DEATH has to come get him personely.This is because he has been on the "unseen university".This makes him a wizard although he was never graduated and never will be.

He was created by Terry Pratchet in the Discworld books.

I think Rincewind is the best anti-heroe ever that's why i named myself after him.
After using Phantom for ages. But everyone has that name...

My real name is Tom (see the connection with Phantom?? No? me either). age 25 and the rest is not interesting anymore.




See you soon on the darkside of the moon (when the Alchemists don't blow it up that is)

LUGGAGE!!!!!!!!

My real name is Ashael, pronounces Ah-sa-el, and means "Made by god" which is silly considering the fact that im a total atheist.

Gee...my real name is Adrian, means 'Dark One', strange thonig cause I'm not of any kind of ancestral african decent and I'm not in the least evil...I think...I'll just go have to check with the voices in my head.

My second name is Christopher, which means 'Christ Like'...bit of a contradiction, eh?

I love the discworld novels, before Skaarjj, my online name used to be 'The Bursar', another character from that series who is completly and utterly bonkers.

Real name...Phil...rarely use my handle Scansped. It's short for Scandinavian Spedition or Scan Transport, came about during 3 years of Haulin the biways of Sweden and Norway in the early '90s (Doc Ozone Country)....boring...maybe not...
Remember 'Smokey & the Bandit' when 'whatisname' the Truck driver got thrown out of the Truck stop by the bikers, then promptly drove over their bikes with his rig...hehe...never pick an argument with 44 tonnes of truck...ask a Belgium who lost the rear end of his car as a result.. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

William Gibson's 'all tomorrows parties'
the 8 is infinty on it's side.

"B00MZILLA in the Lucky Dragon, back in there for what he knows is the first time they work this Lucky Dragon Nanofax, not a game but how you copy solid shit from one store to another. Not sure be gets that but there's free candy and big drinks for the kids, of which he is opting to be very definitely one, right now, hut ifs gone sideways with the bridge burning, and those motherfucker bulklifters come drop a fuckload of water on it, got about a hundred fire trucks and everything here, police, tactical squads, helicopters up in the air, so Lucky Dragon can't do the special thing for the first time they use the Lucky Dragon Nanofax, manager's going lateral, walks the aisle talking to himself. But the store's",
doing business big-time, home office won't let him close, and Boomzilla's started eating candy bars free because the securities are watching the smoke still rise off the wet black garbage, all that's left this end, so you can see the real bridge there, the old part, black too, hanging out in the air like something's bones.
And finally the manager comes and reads from a notebook, ladies and gentlemen, this momentous occasion. jaw jaw, and now they are placing the first object in the unit in our Singapore branch (Boomzilla sees on the TV, out on the pylon, it's a gold statue of the Lucky Dragon himself, smiling) and it will now be reproduced, at a molecular level in every branch of our chain throughout the world.
Checker and two securities, they clap. Boomzilla sucks on the ice in the bottom of his big drink. Waits.
Lucky Dragon Nanofax has a hatch on the front Boomzilla could fit through, he wanted to, and he wonders would that make more Boomzillas other places and could he trust those motherfuckers? If he could, he'd have a tight posse but he doesn't trust anybody, why should they?
Light over the hatch turns green, and the hatch slides up and out crawls, unfolds sort of, this butt-naked girl, black hair, maybe Chinese, Japanese, something, she's long and thin, not much titties on her the way Boomzilla likes but she's smiling, and everybody, the manager, checker, securities, they jaw-hang, eyes popped: girl straightening up, still smiling, and walks fast to the front of the store, past the security counter, and Boomzilla sees her reach up and open the door, just right on out, and it'll take more than a naked Japanese girl get anybody's attention out there, in the middle of this disaster shit.
But the crazy thing is, and he really doesn't get this, standing looking out through the doors at the video pylon, so that he has to go outside and fire up his last Russian Marlboro to think about it, after, is that when he sees her walk past the screens there, he sees her on every last screen, walking out of every Lucky Dragon in the world, wearing that same smile.
Boomzilla still thinking about this when his Marlboro's done, but thinks it's time for a Lucky Dragon Muff-Lette microwave, he thinks of that as his businessman's breakfast, and he's got the money but when he gets back in they got no Muff-Lette, fucking firemen ate them all. Fuck that, he tells them. "Why don't you fax me one from fucking Paris?"
So security throws his ass out.

Umm, Boomzilla8, that dragon is SOO unoriginal... wouldnt it be better to create something of yer own (no offense)? I mean its nice and all but we are picky here. People might even hit you with blunt objects.

If you promise to mix some sharp objects in with the blunt ones and throw them anyway maybe I'll try to come up with something more original...

oh yeah...also promise unsolicited comments...

thank you Jestah... I am sure I can make it more so just for you and place it under all of your comments so you can see it... heh heh


once again the comments come from those with no sigs and nothing constructive to offer...-grin-

Boomzilla, that sig is *way* too big for the board. The file size is something like 69k. Signatures ought to be kept under 10k if at all possible, but 69k is ridiculous. For people with 56k modems, that sig would take like 15+ seconds to download. I'm not really sure if you meant it that way, but I think the signature would look quite a bit better if you eliminated the white "jaggies" around the edges. Either than, or make the edges consistent, so that they are not changing throughout the image. It's definitely an interesting concept, but the file size is just far too big for a signature.

Hey Phil, the truck driver's name was Snowman. Great movie.

~Aaron
Don't ask me how I know what I know or why I do what I do.

Since birth my parents have called me "Buggy". All my family still does. In Junior High I wrote fantasy stories based on a world I created and in that world I was known as "Bugimus". In high school I decided to tone down "Buggy" to just "Bugs".

If you call me anything that starts with the letters b-u-g, I will respond <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Hey Babamba...thanks for that.. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

....Yes it was a good film, and believe it or no, trucking in reality is a fun occupation...it gets in your blood and wont let go....

I've called it a day on 3 occasions and settled into a management role, only to miss the freedom and camaraderie so bad I went back....4 years this December, since I last drove a truck full time....still wrestle with an overwhelming desire to return to my old employers in Amsterdam (Holland)....as of my last call to them in July, there?s still a job waiting if I want it....nice people.
I guess my strategy must be changing....just quit my job at a Mercedes Truck Dealership....take up my new position as Operations Manager with a small trucking company in late October....lots to do....fun times ahead.... <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Bugimus...love your new sig....
