James Clavell’s first novel and my favorite.
blur…
Good thing you weren’t listening to Nashville Pussy when you signed up. 
flikker…
I LOVE your sig! Anyone cool enough to quote “Rape Me” gets a big welcome from hardygrrl,so far the biggest Nirvana fan on the SDMB.
Be afraid, be very afraid … 
I have a new name!! Yeeha.
You can see the new name evolve here.
I like it a lot. Yeeha. If you’re too lazy to read the thread, it’s like a reference to new age occult symbols found in children’s cereal. Or something.

dl = Disneyland, right?
I’m a Dragon, baby. A great big Bronze one. The biggest Bronze ever! It’s from a series of books. I love the name, and it’s hilarious to watch people mispell and mispronounce it.
Qadgop, tell me more about this book. Your sig has always fascinated me, and now that I know where this is coming from, I think I want to read it…
Brachyrhynchos, thank you. I want to cry. Someone actually listens to me. Or at least looks in my profile. You are right, of course. I do want to know what meanings people have made up about my name, though…
Mine was given to me on a MUCK about six years back. Comes from Trip Tripler from Doonesbury. We’re kinda alike except that he’s black and white and ink, and I’m in TECHNICOLOR and sorta squishy.
Tripler
Did I say “squishy”? I meant “rock hard”.
Tripler, sure you’re “rock hard” and I’m Britney Spears(ugh!). Wouldn’t you rather be “squishy”? It would be easier to hug you if you were. Like a teddy bear.
Mine’s taken from something that comes out of the foundations of a certain branch of math. An ultrafilter is a set constructed from another set that satisfies certain properties.
But I just chose it cause it sounds cool.
I just thought everyone should know i despise keri russel (and the tv show)…she totally wrecked my name!!
Once upon a time I was StormHawk, a name taken from a Star Destroyer. But out in the Internet there were already Stormhawks, so I became sturmhauke.
Or maybe I bought it at Home Depot to put on a cabinet, I can’t remember.
It’s my name. I have no imagination.
And it weirds me out when people call me something other than my name.
Francesca, who must be the only person in the world who actually likes their own name.
Its a wrestling move.
I was bitten by my namesake.
TwistofFate - what does that wrestling move entail? How is it done? Desperation move?
damn, twistoffate, that’s such a cool name. i was hoping it meant something deeper than a wrestling move.
Screetch.
Basically, Its a spinning neckbreaker, as done by Matt Hardy (and Lita ;))
you hold your opponent in a front headlock, swing your free arm underneath, let your other arm swing free with the momentum of your body as you “Twist”. when you have your second arm locked aroung the neck/head of your opponent, you drive your opponent to the floor. It is similar to Stone Cold’s finisher, save for the Twist before it, and you end up on your back, instead of sitting down.
Whew!! I’m glad now that I didnt call myself Corkscrew Moonsault Plancha 
At the time of registering, I was listening to a song called Shaolin Buddha Finger.
I would just like to point out that I am not the kung fu movie fanatic some people seem to assume I am.
I haven’t even seen Drunken Master 2, ferchissakes.
I’m a chick. I like racin’.
I’m like a Dixie Chick, only faster
I got my handle from the movie “Godzilla vs. Megalon”. Jet Jaguar is a giant, flying, ultraman-like robot. The film was spoofed on Mystery Science Theatre 3000, and I took the handle when I used to hang out on the rec.arts.tv.mst3k.misc newsgroup. The name stuck, and has been my online handle ever since.
