User names
I was just looking over the Junkie list and wondering about all these user names. Many are kind of self explanatory, but most could use some sort of interpretation. For example, I look like my dog, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna log in as PommieOne or some shit like that. Any of you care to explain your unusual user names?

Re: User names

That is not actually where my user name comes from.  I am often accused of having my head in the clouds and of not living with my feet on the ground.  Friends have speculated whether I wouldn't rather live in the world of my dreams and fantasies.  That's why I use "reverie".  Phantom actually has many meanings beyond the common one.  It can mean "something elusive or delusive" or "a representation of something abstract, ideal, or incorporeal/existing in perception only".

 

So I am an elusive, abstract, ideal, incorporeal daydream; a fanciful musing existing in perception only.

 

(Which hopefully makes me sound much cooler than I really am!  I had way too much time to think of these kinds of things in college when I started using the name, as you can see.)

Re: User names

Well Forcefullsoul comes from my love of Star Wars, my glass half full approach, and my religious devotion ... am a Religious Education teacher in a Catholic School ... incidentally where FDO's website is blocked for being "tasteless and illegal".

Re: User names

Tasteless is a matter of, well, taste, but illegal?

Re: User names

Just once. One weekend in Atlanta when, after his 42 shot tribute to Doug Adams, JP mistook me for either the turtle or one of the goats, (no one is really sure). I'm just glad that there was no spooning involved.

Re: User names

Abstract, existing in perception only....yes, I can relate to that. Thank you for sharing.

As a matter of fact, that is a roll of quarters in my pocket.

Re: User names
Nitara is the name of one of the characters in Mortal Kombat. that was also the name I used on the MK message boards. I liked it so much that I decided to stick with it. It's simple, easy to remember, and it's very rare that I come across another person with that username.

    One dictionary?  It's like putting together a poll!  Take as much information from as many sources as you can and then put it all together so it looks how you want it to!  With a little imagination and some time on google you could probably find enough material to create a definition of phantom to mean a sexy live woman picking flowers in a meadow!

    You can define it as that in about five minutes on Wikipedia, but it may not stick.

    Re: User names

    Long story, but lets do this abridged style.

    Got drunk, Did the Robot. (being 6'4 350lbs it's quite the sight)

    Firefighting buddy's called my Andymatron. (said, Andy-Ma-Tron...like the movie)

    Being drunk the spelling was less than great.

    Im no Matron. (Matron: senior most nurse in a hospital.)

    Another buddy and I always fight about who is better,Pirate or Ninja.

    He then called me Piratebot. So it was born.
