Explain Your DU User name!

I am NOT an aquarius! LOL Believe it or not, I am a Sagittarius. However, I love the song "Aquarius" from the musical HAIR. Now, the reason why I capitalize certain letters is my own secret...... Something to do with QA that only ONE DUer could figure out. SO, what the big secret behind your DU identity????

:hi:

You've passed on! You've ceased to be! You've expired and gone to meet your maker! You... are a late parrot! You're a stiff! Bereft of life, you rest in peace! If we 'adn't nailed you to the perch, you'd be pushin' up the daisies! You've rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!

You... are an ex-parrot!

:hi:

:rofl:

:rofl:

:P

So there.

You're name is Lara and you're from Minnesota. But, we'll always just have to wonder until the TRUTH is revealed!

Although, in this case your assumption would be correct, so that kind of kicks the rule in its teeth...

ass-kicking....

YOU MAKE AN ASS OUT OF UUUUUMMMMMAAA THURMAN!

Couldn't resist...Franken has that on his show all the time.

He was telling me about a friend of his, a real yuppie type, who told him that he fancies himself as an anarchist.

My friend laughed and said the guy was more like a "coffee table book anarchist," and then I modified it when I said, "Starbucks Anarchist," and it stuck.

Also, it's a contradiction in terms, much like myself.

Thanks for the explanation! I will WONDER no more!

Thanks! :hi:

I frequently wonder about DU names I can't figure out myself. Most DUers assume I am an Aquarius,lol. Hey, you're cute by the way! ! :pals:

;)

Unlike that HypnoToad, I lack any powers of persuasion. Even if I make up for it in other ways!

:popcorn: :popcorn:

shelter for exotic cats. She was my favorite and I just loved her. She passed away and I was heartbroken.

People think Maraya is my name and I'm fine with that. (although I've just given myself up!)

:P

:spank: :spank: :spank: :evilgrin:

:silly: :rofl:

You could just be trying to throw us off. We know that. :evilgrin:

I'm actually a good ol' boy from Alabama, and a troll to boot! :P

I saw you driving down the road in that pickup truck with the gun rack and confederate flag on the back, and hound dogs riding in the bed. You might want to scrape off that Bush/Cheney bumper sticker soon. :shrug:

See, I'm actually typing this from Sardinia. I've never actually been to Oregon ... Throws 'em off the scent, ya know.

And put that arse away!

I have rarely heard someone not liking my arse! Shake your booty!

and no fan at all of Fundamentalists, who I feel are a menace to society. The username came up as a humorous play on the former that takes a stab at the latter.



I even have my own smiley, which another DUer made for me:

whose history I shall not bore folks by explaining.

But it goes well with "Oedipus," in a Greekly mythologic way, and since I'm a copy editor — or "oeditor" — I added the 't' because I'm clever that way. (I first used it as a username in a copy editors' forum.)

Maybe someday you'll tell me how you came to be called Rex.

So you really are Oedipus the King!

:D

But that's as far as I'm goin' with it.

Saw them back in the 80's. Also I'm from San Pedro as well.

what other bands are you liking these days?

Sleater Kinney

always have, when I was a teenager my friends started calling me aquaman.

my first name really is Gloria and my last name really is Smith. I just couldn't think of anything cool at the time I signed up.

Me too Gloria. I wasn't being clever when I signed up. I really am Polly Hennessey. At least we are never in danger of forgetting our sign up names.

To foster a deeper understanding of and sympathy with man's relations -- the animals -- who cannot speak for themselves,

To inculcate the higher principles of humaneness upon which the unity and happiness of the world depend,

To emphasize the spiritual fundamentals that lead to world friendship

To promote the child's character through an understanding of universal kinship.



I'm been in story, radio, and television - I'm famous!

Thank you, Ralph Chessé, for introducing me to 'The Wonderful World of Brother Buzz' many years ago. Your values have served me well (even before that funny word, Ecology, was invented).

my last name is peterson, my first name starts with a D...pretty simple

C is my first initial, S my middle initial and Small the first five digits of my last name.

because I used to smoke a lot of pot (didn't quit...but cut down significantly because I actually wanted to get stuff done in my life). Then I used it as a gamer name for years (UT...murder, death, kill). I've still got the hotmail address.

It's just my alter-stoner-ego.

My close long time friends still call me that occasionally.

Just a weird name I've had for years.

a piece of conferencing software = http://www2.smarttech.com/st/en-US/Products/Bridgit we do corporate compliance :shrug:

RA for 'Resident Assistant'
ND for 'No Damage'
OM because that's the hindu meditation word,
AU for 'Gold' (it's gold's elemental symbol)
ST for 'Sin Theta' (my interest in maths)
RA for 'Righteous Actions'
LI for Jet Li, whose absolute skill and dedication I admire,
N for 'Not really anything, I just made that all up on the spot' -- had you going though... c'mon admit it!

AND PUT THAT ARSE AWAY! ;) :) :P

NO! NEVER! I my

"Flaming Youth" starring Colleen Moore. Sadly, it's lost to time.

nm

But that's not why I chose it :D

yes INDEED (OK yes, I did name him after the candy)

registered, but I was late to the party, so to speak!

cute nickname.....I never really thought about it much - I thought of it on the spor when I first registered because Skittles was wailing to me at the top of his lungs to go outside (he is a farm cat) :o

so fine nobody can see it !

either that or it's my actual name, last name first. I report... you decide!!!! :)

Contemplating one’s navel as an aid to meditation.

This word seems to be relatively new, at least the Merriam-Webster “Word of the Day” column claims it to have been invented only in the 1920s. It turns up in only a few dictionaries and seems to be a word that survives more for the chance to show off one’s erudition than as a real aid to communication. If so, this article is a further perpetuation of its unreal status. It is formed from two Greek words, omphalos, “navel, boss, hub”, and skepsis, “the act of looking; enquiry”. The former turns up in words such as omphalotomy, “cutting of the umbilical cord”, in the related omphalopsychic for one of a group of mystics who practised gazing at the navel as a means of inducing hypnotic reverie, and omphalomancy, an ancient form of divination in which the number of children a woman would bear was determined from counting the knots in her umbilical cord at birth.


It worrks. Grrrl power.

of Oompa Loompas.... lol

It reminded me of a bumblebee when I purchased it.

I was trying to think of a SN and my sister suggested ZenziC and she was ZoeMST3K. (She has a funny memory sometimes, she accused me of taking her sn and completely forgot about Zoe) I wouldn't suggest IMing those sns now that both of us no longer use those sns.

Just found out a zenzic is also a math term, a square number. Zenzicube is the square of the cube, the 6th power of a number.

I failed math, don't ask me to explain it further :-)

And if ya trash my beach I'm comin' after you damn it.

Love it down there...

:evilgrin:

The grumpy donkey from Winnie the Pooh. First thing I tried, and it was actually available.

:tinfoilhat:

"The Master and Margarita".

Bezdomny is a poet who sees the devil and goes insane. I'm a writer and every time I see George Bush I want to go running naked through the streets screaming at the top of my lungs.

It also means "the homeless one" in Russian and I'm an ex-pat so it just seemed to fit.

but I'm a shear bad ass at the same time when it is required that I be one. At times I have a knack for stretching the "comfort zone" of people. The name is paradoxical (like me).

Also, my daughter is such a huge Donnie Darko fan that the term "Evil Bunny" is frequently used in my house. I gave it my own little kick. :D

:toast:

:scared:

My first post was pretty jumped on for being "Anti-religion'. On the positive note, the poster said "with your attitude, you should fit right in around here".

In the words of our un-esteemed (and not-quite-elected) leader: Bring it On. :7

I'm still in a red state, but not so sad. Maybe I could become Notsosadinred - or, waitingfor'08inred - or wishiwasbackhomeinblue.

Next time Skinner has a amnesty period for name change, I will change mine though.

to match the carpet.

I can't speak for others, but I truly have had more fun!

I unintentionally caused much speculation with my name--usually involving S&M or some other fetish, as well as one person thinking I might be an eye doctor--named for the thing you use to cover one eye at a time.

None of that is true--as colorful as they may be! I foundthis smilie on a different forum and knew it would answer the question. eyepaddle (I paddle) a kayak as a hobby/passion. :)

Skinner said it was a good name...how could I go wrong?

What's so hard about that? :shrug:

:D

I intended it to be kind of a slap in the face, with the emphasis on "writing"..... So it's like "No, no, writing is my religion."

:P :P

:hi:

:D

DAMMIT...

...in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. It's the part I wanted to play in a college production, but because I'd written music for the show, the director pushed me into the Clown/Feste role, perhaps a much better fit.

But in being once half-blinded by love, and then getting it so very right the second time around, I rather identify with the Count. Hence my avatar.

:P

Jennifer and Jake, youngest daughter and son-in-law. I use this name to honor them. :loveya:

:spray:

From Johnny Socko and His Giant Robot. Live action Japanese giant monster kaiju TV show from the late '60's I watched as a kid. That and Ultraman, but I always thought Giant Robot looked cooler.

just after the supreme court selected bush* - there was a statement from bush* about people who were upset with the selection

he refered to them as being members of a radical fringe. Since I was upset, I figured I was one of those members

And I'm a guy.

Whew. I'm glad I got that out in the open. The suspense was killing a lot of folks here. ;)

However, when I move back East (very soon) I may change my DU name to livetocanoe, because I miss it very, very much :-).

Which part of the East are you talking about? :hi:

:hi: and :-)

Moving back to Pennsylvania and eventually South Carolina. Retiring early. I miss freshwater rivers and streams.

when we bought our place in the country we called it "Ashling Ranch" we have since had to sell the ranch, but the dream lives on.
I may have sold the ranch, but I haven't bought the farm. :)

:silly:

left: The people and groups who advocate liberal, often radical measures to effect change in the established order, especially in politics, usually to achieve the equality, freedom, and well-being of the common citizens of a state. Also called left wing

of: Derived or coming from; originating at or from

the: Used before nouns that designate natural phenomena or points of the compass

dial: A graduated surface or face on which a measurement, such as speed, is indicated by a moving needle or pointer. The panel or face on a radio or television receiver on which the frequencies or channels are indicated. A movable control knob or other device on a radio or television receiver used to change the frequency.

It's also the title of a Replacements song from the record _Tim_.

Also, I'm glad I used dial, or what's left of it, and I wish everyone did.

Since there are three of us here at our home who may suggest posts and answers at anytime....we decided to pick a name we would all remember.





The Tikkis

for college sports.

then it got too big...

:shrug:

and I moved to a different state, there was a waiting list of 15 people for it.

is shilling as a stereo salesman in Boogie Nights? Which given the setting of Boogie Nights makes it kinda believable.

the north going zax and the south going zax. I've used it on hotmail for a decade.

Kynd = rather hip and hippie way to spell Kind as in Kind Bud, Kind Friends, Kind anything...
Culture = the hip and hippie culture of peace and love, my way of life.


So there ya have it... The Culture of the Kynd.

read Mallory's "Le Morte De'Arthur"

Used in just about every paragraph, such as:

"Therewithal came the knight’s lady, that was a PASSING FAIR lady, and when she espied that her lord Belleus was sore wounded, she cried out on Sir Launcelot, and made great dole out of measure. Peace, my lady and my love, said Belleus, for this knight is a good man, and a knight adventurous, and there he told her all the cause how he was wounded; And when that I yielded me unto him, he left me goodly and hath staunched my blood. Sir, said the lady, I require thee tell me what knight ye be, and what is your name? Fair lady, he said, my name is Sir Launcelot du Lake. So me thought ever by your speech, said the lady, for I have seen you oft or this, and I know you better than ye ween. But now an ye would promise me of your courtesy, for the harms that ye have done to me and my Lord Belleus, that when he cometh unto Arthur’s court for to cause him to be made knight of the Round Table, for he is a PASSING GOOD man of arms, and a mighty lord of lands of many out isles."

I like the way is sounds, unless someone calls me "PassingGas",
which has happened more than once! :P

but I have a leaning toward more academic than performance circles.

Hence, ChoralScholar

Married a guy and took his name/Jones
of the female persuasion/chick
TADA! joneschick
and I can remember it on a fairly regular basis

My name is actually Peggy (or Peg), and I sure do live in California!

:hi:

Cooking.

and calling myself that makes me feel like I have to live up to it!

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.


I added the '04, because we needed some revolutionary acts(truth telling) during the 2004 election. :hi:

when she was real little. (I'm not saying what... it's too embarrassing. I was an idiot.) :dunce:
When I couldn't get her to stop crying, I told her that if I ever said "that thing" to her again, she could tell me I was "full of moose poop!" That made her laugh, so it worked, and it became a running gag with me saying "that thing" to her, and her gleefully telling me I'm full of moose poop. She's now in her mid-20's, and we still banter this way. She just might have the phrase engraved on my headstone someday.
:yoiks:

"please pass the purple shoe I am out of mayonaise"

my favorite cat

her while I was on vacation. She hissed and spit at me when I first picked her up when she was a kitten.

No, wait, that was another story... :silly:

"We Argue For You"

My dad was going to put it on his license plate. I stole it.

I knew it wasn't what you meant, but in shipping hazardous wastes, many waste types have a "Reportable Quantity" or RQ.

I'd always think of that when I saw your posts.

A guest alien on star star trek NG.

in the hopes that the Dems take control by landslides in '06 elections and that they start undoing the mess Bush gets us in... It describes the storm of progressive and liberal values that I hope will take place SOON...

That's at least the best I can explain it, I'm having brain fog today.

Blue

Shock value, mostly.

I just like Yellow Rubber Duckies. :shrug:

I work in an academic library

Redstone

depression to the point of suicidal about the world, my life, my community. Hope, optimism, and faith in anything all gone; everything going to **it and seemingly stuck stuck stuck there. . . Hence petrified poop, clean it up a bit and PetraPooh

Watch those credits -- if you see "Michel Therat" that's me!

mikey_the_rat

That should more properly be spelled "Benfëa," but I use "Benfea" in online games because the funny punctuation makes it hard for people to use your name. I was making an elvish character in a MMORPG and decided that for once I would try to come up with a more appropriate name, so I tried to translate "atheist" into Elvish, but the closest I could come was "without spirit."

:hi:

Also a very cool blues label.

I've been dismayed to find that some fascist redneck in Georgia uses my handle on his cheezy website. Fuck him!

Methanol was a big problem when making bath tub gin.

all-world asshole Michael Vick (Atlanta Falcons quarterback) at a free VD clinic. He also allegedly spread herpes around and got sued for it. My contempt for Vick, who can run like the wind but can't throw for shit, was endless even before the herpes suit.

My deepest intent is to be a place where Love shines, to be in total alignment with my personal authenticity. :loveya:

Had never seen one before, thought it was a cool bird, and decided that would be my user name.

Was also considering "Dark Eyed Junco," but that would have been too long.

But because I am a rebel. I'm a feminist, pro-choice, a vegetarian, an animal rights advocate, an atheist and pro-gun (I have nothing against guns as long as one isn't pointed at me.)

A novel by (one of) my favorite author(s) Tom Robbins

I read this story when I was fifteen years old in a copy of "Redbook" magazine, back when they used to publish short stories.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0811807150/sr=8-1/qid=1142879723/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-7068357-4869457?%5Fencoding=UTF8

but I am feeling much better now... it was also my favorite line from Night Court. Harry Anderson met his dad who turns out to be an escaped Mental patient,(played by the guy who played the father on Adams Family) he looks a Harry and says with really crazy eyes... "I used to be sick but, I feel much better now." Still makes me laugh today.

from his album Overnite Sensation.


:evilgrin:

m stands for the first letter of my first name

v stands for the first letter of middle name (an Italian name)

d stands for the first letter of my last name (a French name)

and the cause of most of the cavities in my teeth!

Also, she is a character in eastern european (czeck) mythology. I'm a huge D'vorak fan.

"left coast," so I thought that would make a good "last name" for me. I wanted my "first name" to alliterate with my new "last name," so I chose "Lydia."

When I moved to Minnesota, I polled the Lounge on whether I should change my name, but the overwhelming sentiment was to keep it. I rationalized it by the fact that I now live on the "left coast" of a lake. :-)

was not used. Well, my DU membership predates the moran guy picture. That's why.

You should have used your psychic powers to see the future. :P

This was a famous dance done to soukous music from the Congo, a high-energy upbeat form of rock 'n roll, of which I am a fan.

It is also slang for "quoi ca?" or "what's that?"

And I like this name better than my other two names I've had previously on DU. Having a bramaged dain is a good excuse for being just plain nutz.:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :silly:

but I'm still fluffy and cute. ;)

I just like to make up names. :)

I was with a group that traveled to "red" areas in an attempt to turn them "blue."

Clark County, NV, went blue. So, I did what I set out to do. I also encountered voter fraud there. Not surprising. :eyes:

powerful "projection".

Dance and Techno music. and MEW are my initals. So DJMEW tada.
