    Mine is my RL nickname. Taken from a character in the magic roundabout. He looks like a tomato on a spring with a pornstar moustache.

    Hey! I made one of these threads about 3 years ago - wassa matta with u people? :rant:

    ShiningTed was a name suggested for me by some MSN group or other I tried to join many moons ago. It asked me for a name.

    "Ted" says I.

    "We already have a Ted" says they, "why not call yourself ShiningTed?"

    "Meh, I grow weary of this group" says I, and never did sign up. But for some reason the name stuck in my head.

    Laziness. When I sign on for stuff like this, I usually use my yahoo moniker. Kouns is the name, 2112 is one of my all time favorite albums. (Yes, albums- records, platters; Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.)

    If I named myself for a character, it would be Felan. It's Irish, and belonged to a skillful fighter/thief, level 12/14(AD&D 1st ed.)

    Be of good cheer, Shiningted, my dome reflects as well. We're simply at the forefront of evolution.:)

    My screen name is a perversion of my real name Alex, somehow I chose that instead of the "ShiningAlex" suggestion I was offered by Yahoo when I signed up for an email account, all those years ago.

    Fargo is also the name of the character from the TV show Eureka on SCI-FI. That show gets better and better.

    I happened to be going through a green day obsession around two years ago in the days of my hormonally unballanced youth and loved the sound of "whatsername." I thought it sounded all mysterious and whatnot. When I made my hotmail email whatsername wasn't availible so I tryed tacking on an 89, the yr I was born, but that was unavailible as well. The next step was to try the birthyears of 2 of my immediate family members, my dad and my stepmom. My dad was bprn in 1969, and as we know, 69 has some *ohter* connotations that I really didn't want to associate myself with. My stepmother was born in 74, and that was availible.

    and that's the story.

    Hail all,

    Haha.. Had a tough day at the Atari (just kidding) office... So this thread delivered some much needed laughs. After seeing some names I figured there would be some good backstories behind them :p

    zuluwarrior: lol! Best nickname story I've heard :)

    Half Knight: You.. uh.. created the whole world in detail? Holy shit! and here I am having a hard time creating my first PnP character background story! Very impressive man, I'll definitely check out whatever I can find.

    Ax Thrower: lol, I also have an obsession with throwing axes.. actually all axes (s that weird?) :D

    Allyx: Wow, I love that spelling of Alex. I want to steal it for a D&D character (but I'd feel cheap) :-(

    Thanks again for the laughs.. now back to work o_O

    I remember; but I didn't want to discourage the lad - our prior communications being what they were.

    :shrug:

    So, wtf says I.
