When I was in engineering school (failed attempt at AeroSpace) one of my smart ass friends proclaimed “So, engineerboy…” and thus, I was born
Cold Fire is a song by Rush. See quote below.

Satan. Change your name to Jesus or God if you really want to piss them off.
Phobia: I always pictured the fundies twitching and cringing everytime they read “Yer pal, Satan.”
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Glitch is the name of the Guardian key tool from a little show call ReBoot. Love that show. Anyway, Glitch is a little box that sits on Guardian Bob’s left forearm, and can do … well, just about anything.
And for your amusement, various commands given to Glitch over the three seasons of ReBoot.
“Glitch … gamestats”
“Glitch … energy pulse”
“Glitch … particle beam”
“Glitch … cutter”
“Glitch … window, large icon” (really saved Bob’s bacon in that one)
“Glitch … splitter”
“Glitch … energy shield”
“Glitch … viewer”
“Glitch … ANYTHING!” (love that one)
“Glitch … download” (this one makes me cry sniff)
What more could you expect from somebody who lets people kick him to the head?
It means ‘Peach Boy’. I’ll leave you on that.
Just kidding. It’s a hero in a Japanese tale…born from a peach (the hero I mean).
My first name is Krishnan, but most people cannot pronounce it.
Krish seems to be easier.
Ok. This is cheesy. My Dad thinks that my ‘real’ name, last mostly, sounds like a gangster/mob type of name so he labeled me; first name-middle-The Doll-last name.
There it is, just a daddy’s girl.
Obviously, mine is a pun on “reality check.” I started using it on a Shakespeare discussion board, since I spent a lot of time deflating some rather bizarre and fanciful theories (for the record – there’s no evidence that Shakespeare was gay, that Othello had anything to do with 20th century race relations, or that anyone other than William Shakespeare of Stratford wrote the plays and poems attributed to him). Since then, I’ve found it useful here and on Usenet to remind people of the reality of various situations.
Went into a grocery store,found some nice carrot cake. Orangecakes just sounded good to me.I have a thing about flavors,I guess.I used to be vanillanice,and my other e-mail is lemonlimefizz. Gee,maybe my future one should be blackberry(cousin to snarkberry)
Chris Mullin is my favorite basketball player. I just thought it sounded kind of neat to throw the -ator on the end, kind of like a super-villain or something. I tried to go with my name of choice (Tallman), but it was apparantly unavailable.
Yes, the weather is the same up here. Yes, I play basketball. No, never heard a tall joke before. Aaaargh.
My real name is nothing like Missy. I work for 100+ engineers. They say “Hey, can you do this/get this/figure this out/blah blah blah whatever for me?” and I say “That’s MISSY to YOU!” and them, being engineers and some not real bright, laugh.
I never said it was a GOOD explanation.
In Norse mythology, Mjollnir (there are many alternate spellings), which is Norse for “miller,” was the name of Thor’s hammer.
I’ve had a fascination with hammers going back to 3rd grade when I read “Call it Courage” by Armstrong Sperry.
Oh, wow, YOU’RE the RealityChuck from the Shakespeare Web? I KNEW the name sounded familiar!
Mine’s also from Shakespeare – I’m a grad student in Renaissance literature, and the first thread I posted to on this board was about the Shakespeare authorship question, so I thought I should pick something relevant. My second choice would have been “Sycorax,” which has since been taken by somebody else. Great minds think alike …
I just keep on wandering…more moves than I care to count, more cities, two continents, four countries…just the places I lived…kind of tells who and what I am!

It’s my fighter squadron designation…
Okay so our squadron was comprised of an appliance box, two wagons, and a truck tire, but still…
…at night, the ice weasels come…
Well basically I’ve always wanted to be one of those stereotypical Italian (or is that Eye-Talian) guys from like brooklyn or philly…so frankie it is!!
Frankie- Wanna make sumthin of it? Fuggedaboudit!
Pure stupidity for my name. When I registered and it said “Username”, I thought they meant “Enter your name” here and I would pick my alias later. Then I was too lazy to change it. But this thread has inspired me, and I’m changing it right now!
Well, I should say I’m going to try and change it. But I can’t change it using the same e-mail address. I guess I’ll have to truck on over to “About this message board” and see how I can change it.

Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains.
It’s probably easier to petition the court to change your real name.
