That would be where it came from. 
I have issues with lel and lieu. Pretty much get them confused a lot.
Don’t know if it’s any consolation to you, Winnowill but your name has never caused a moment’s doubt or confusion in my mind.
So what was the deal with putting the archer in the cage, huh?
I don’t think anyone has screwed up my name. Keep up the good work, people! 
It amused me. And it enabled me to test…things…that I could not on my own people. He taught me much.
Which is why he looks like Joe Pesci in my mind. 
But my mind apparently works strangely as iampunha for me somehow evokes the image of a llama. Why? I have no idea.
**Atomic… eh?
Anyway, its Mange Tout from the french ‘eat all’ - not the vegetable, not purveyor of skin diseases, not Mangey Trout, not Man Get Out - which, when pointed out to me in a chat room once, I took as an insult; much hilarity ensued, something like:
**Someone: **Hey Mangetout!
**Mangetout: **Hello
**Someone: **Man Get Out
**Mangetout: **Why?
**Someone: **Eh? Mangetout = Man Get Out
**Mangetout: **Fuck you! I’ll leave when I feel like it
etc…
sugaree:
Dangerosa was Eleanor of Aquataines maternal grandmother, and the mistress of her paternal grandfather, William the Troubadour - who “abducted” (sources aren’t clear on her opinion of the matter) her from her husband (William’s vassel). William was also married at the time and was excommunicated for this (and some other stuff, William was apparently not overly pious).
Anyway, you can get some more - much of it fancy and little of it actual history, if you google.
Another who sees unclivny as ‘uncivil’
//\etalhead (I’m not sure if I’m using the right characters) took me a while to figure out because the character set my computer uses shows the left-hand slashes as Yen symbols.
And Winnowill, I read your post three times and was still saying to myself “yeah, but she’s talking about the tree, right?”
Yeah, for some reason I keep thinking her name is Laura too, and for some reason she’s Australian and looks like a lawyer (without the three-piece suit though).
Samarm to me sounds like a sailor who has a tatoo of an anchor on his arm.
Mangetout is a cockney English lad who wears a black farmers cap.
Sam Stone wears a leather jacket and carries a terminatoresque loaded barrel. He rides Harleys for fun.
Ultrafilter is a blond 23 year old maths genius (funnily enough - I don’t picture him as a nerd though).
I made the same mistake about Cranky. But after reading many of her posts I now picture her as an oddly sexy 43 year old woman with goldenish-auburn hair.
Alice is Canadian for some reason (or somewhere up North).
Meatros is a wrestler who has the build of Taz from the WWWE.
Dangerosa for some reason is in his late twenties and a latino action star. Wears leathers and carries a magnum. He doesn’t ride a motorbike - instead he strolls on by with his pink Cadillac.
Troy Mclure is the guy from the Simpsons. No question.
Up until last night, I always saw Slainte and heard in my head “slanty” as in Homer leaning back in his chair and saying “mmmmmm…slanty”
I’ve always wanted to write the hottie and ask what the heck it meant. However, last night as I was reading Maxim, I came across an article about St Patty’s day and alcohol (in the same article? say it isn’t so!) and found out that “slainte” is Gaelic and translates roughly to “let’s get drunk.” That is, if I decide to believe Maxim.
I’m still stuck reading it as “slanty” though because I can’t remember the pronunciation.
Have you seen a picture of me, or did you just get a really lucky guess in?
I’d always assumed it was a sort of a pun on saltine and satire.
Not a very good pun, or even one that makes much sense, but that’s what I thought.
Hmmm…Well…hmmm…
Nah, I’m no where near as big as Taz. Not to mention, I don’t look as mean as he does…
Incidently I always think of you as being the X-Men leader…

This is true. I am a Canadian from up north.
Perhaps it was my mukluks that gave me away…
Oh what a Jip (no racially incriminating pun intended)!
I picture you as an enormously built towering piece of testosterone with arms the size of tree-trunks…
And you got me pegged as some scrawny balding old man who thinks that “fun” has an L in it.
I tellz ya, there’s no justice in this world…
Oh and U-filter, no I haven’t seen a picture of you. Are you kidding or did I actually hit the nail right on top of its head?
Well, at least you’re super smart!
No, you got that pretty much exactly right. I’ve probably mentioned or given clues to my age, but I’ve never mentioned my haircolor, and there’s only one picture of me referenced anywhere on the boards.
It’s more like “Slan-cha”. And when I heard it in a pub in Ireland they told me it was like “To your health/Cheers” type of thing.
We still need to have that Red Velvet cake, Max Carnage
When ever I see Sam Stone, the whole song goes through my head for the entire day. I may have to go dig the thing up on vinyl - I know I have it somewhere.
there’s a hole in daddy’s arm where all the money goes… :o
Someone has named themself “Chuck Forbin”.
When I first saw it, I assumed it was a statement, like, “Get rid of Forbin.”
I have since figured out that it is not.
This concept goes hand in hand with the old, “How will I know if I’m being pitted?” I wondered, “What have I done to this person, that he/she would want me gone?”
