Uh-huh. Sure. Plus you know your name isn’t on the wheel so you figure you’re safe. But the swarms of mutant killer bees heading toward **OneCentStamp ** are on YOUR head.
Sorry, OCS. I wouldn’t have chosen you to be scapegoat myself, but I can’t do anything about who the wheel chooses.
Astroboy1-13 were taken.
So you’re the one who has absconded with our bees! And you’re mutating them! How… dastardly!
Whom. Whom the wheel chooses.

Since I was going to be killed anyway… 
It’s the name of a Dungeons & Dragons character I had in college. I use it on other message boards too—seems unique enough that I haven’t encountered another one, and this way I don’t have to remember what username I have on what message board.
However when I tried to use the name for a new character in World of Warcraft, I discovered that someone else had already used it. Was very put out! :dubious:
I have already given my formal statement on the missing bees.
Who said anything about killing? These bees are equipped with the new genital homing technology and are trained to …
Well, never mind. You’ll find about in about five or ten minutes.
By the way, wouldja mind opening all the windows in your house? That would be really helpful. Thanks!
I had grandiose ambitions of single-handedly changing the image of a mumsy, frumpy name with my dazzling wit and eloquence. 
The boring truth of the matter is that it was just a name that happened to be on my mind when I registered. I was reading Martha Gellhorn’s biography and remembered a couple of other Marthas (one a celebrity sheepdog, the other a distant relative) I felt like paying tribute to.
The new Doctor Who companion is called Martha . She’s anything but mumsy and frumpy, so you’re not alone in your quest.
Why, yes, there is some meaning behind the choice of my username. It’s my name.

I chose mine in honor of our Lord Jesus Christ. The alpha and the omega , the beginning and the end, but keep it to yourself. There’s a lot of Jesus haters out there. I won’t name any names as they (and pretty much everyone else) know who they are. 
I liked your screen name a lot better when I could picture you fighting off [del]damn dirty apes[/del] zombies.
So was “Omegaman” Jesus’ middle name (Jesus Omegaman Christ?) or was it his alter-ego, used only when fighting crime or in the company of the other Super Friends?
And before you call me a Jesus hater, I’m not. I love Jesus. He was the exemplar of coolness and 10 billion times the entity I am. In the words of a certain starship captain, “I take the situation very seriously. It’s you that I’m mocking.”
No, no. He was half Jewish, half Irish. His mom’s maiden name was O’Megaman, and they gave it to him as a middle name.
You know, if there is a Judgment Day of the sort **Omegaman ** expects, we’re both going to request those last two posts, right?
I think you’re right. You know what else I’ve noticed? You and I are posting back and forth on about six different threads now. It’s a slow day on the SDMB…except for Skald and 1cS. Whoo-hoo! High five! [/moment]
That’s only because I need to keep you in one place so the bees’ tracking devices can … um… track you. You know, for the stinging.
After school one day (senior year of high school), some friends and I went to the McDonald’s at Union Square for lunch. Underneath our table was a date book/organizer that someone had left behind. The only indication of the identity of the owner was a HIP card belonging to Varlos Z. Brathwaite. I tracked him down through HIP and got the organizer back to him (his wife worked at a sporting goods store around the corner from the McDonald’s), and in exchange took for myself the right to use his name for all pseudonymonous purposes.
I’ve been VarlosZ for almost nine years now.
Was his name really “Varlos,” or was that just a very understandable typo?
Mine comes from an unfortunately named character in an old SNL sketch.
Did I read this wrong or does it really say genital???
