Why did you choose your user names

[cbman]

Hey Sasq.

I'm a twin and my brothers Nick Name is Chia....

Its nice being warm in the winter... summers at the beach suck though...

[Sasq]

Biggest problem is here in summer, my ancestors come from the norhtern part of Scotland. Here is 35c in summer with 90%+ humidity.

The fur coating keeps me a tad too warm.

I have been thinking about asking this very question for a year or so, but I am a bit new to this whole concept, so I wasn't sure if it was a "taboo" or something. But I am glad that someone else did.

You all have interesting names, great stuff!

I chose mine to have a simple, easy, one syllable word. Also one that no one else would have. And I didn't want to have a name like Hawk, Ace, Talon, Killer etc. To generic. And I had hoped that I had a name that would instill respect in gaming, if I ever got good at one game. "Oh, crap, thats that Bohrn guy again, dammit!"

But, I'm not that great at any games yet Pretty good at Mech4 tho... People are starting to know me in that community. And I hope this one as well.


PS, what a HUGE thread! It grew as I read it. it was 4 pages when I first clicked on the topic, 5 half way thru, and 6 when I went to post

[Guyver]

I like the Anime.

[DentyCracker]

Old Nick. Middle name is Denton which is what childhood friends call me. The Cracker part comes from trying to create a mix equivalent to the big apple mixes, made popular by Frankie Crocker.

[Technoid]

My nick is from the Movie "Terminator"

I first saw it on a crappy fourth generation VHS copy without swedish subtitles!

I got the spelling on the bar where Sara Connor first attacked wrong...

Technoir Became Technoid....

And that sorta stuck...

[Genom]

My nickname is also pretty boring. Comes from an Anime series I liked a lot. Before this I was just Psycho, as I was always screwing with my friends minds. Interestingly, for the years I IRC'd, I got all sorts of variations on it, like Gen-Om, Gnomo and Genomerio, and some people told me it also meant meatballs in swedish I think.

Must have been an other language than swedish:

Meatballs = "Köttbullar"

[PowerHungry]

When I signed up for MURC, I had just planned on upgrading my system from a lowly K6-2-350 to a TB1Gig w/ .5G RAM, 40GB RAID, and alot of other relatively high performance stuff. I wanted the fastest system I could get (for the money), you could almost say I was 'power hungry'.

Also I was running 5 systems in a room barely big enough for a bed, and all off a 20 amp breaker. I could not turn my TV on with all 5 systems as it would blow the breaker!

[Belwarrior]

this thread was growing bigger and bigger even as i was looking at all the replies on curries ( i am a South Indian relocated to singapore. *grin* where u can get all the curries of the world).

Anyway my nickname came about when they wasnt any internet to speak of. Back in the BBS days, they were a lot of RPG Doorgames, I had a belly (due to dousing the flames in my stomach after some curry) and i opted to play as a ranger (a kind of warrior class) in one of them.

That ended up as Belwarrior and it stuck, i use it everywhere as it is unique as no one else is using it. i even recently had someone on icq me asking me whether i am the same guy from early 1990's BBSes.

[Novdid]

I was trying to come up with a nick when this girl in my class said she could help me, after a minute of thinking she came up with "Novdid"

My real name is "Navid" and she thought it sounded good with "Novdid". I have been stuck using that nick ever since.

Belwarrior, what is your favorite Curry dish????

It seems that the "Curries" are a favorite among us MURCer's Worldwide.

I have never had a curry... but that is fine with me... Hot food doesn't go along too well with my Canadian Ice Belly... its used to frozen food... caught with my bare hands among the snowy wasteland.

Truthfully though... I had East Side Mario's Hells Kitchen Chicken Once and I nearly Blew a Gasket and Couldn't finish the plate... Hell even the Potatoes were too hot

[Bohrn]

LOL cbman!

[Belwarrior]

Hello Paul,
I tend to favour Fish curries as they are more fuller ie, they are not only hot but rather have more character than chicken *grin*. Meaning you find more vegetables in Fish curries than other curries. Unripe mangos, lady's fingers, green chillies are commonly used in Fish curries. My favourite curry is the Sardine Fish Curry as it is a thicker gravy and along with the above mentioned veggies it also may contain potatoes and boiled eggs.

I have also tried some exotic curries you dont normally find nowadays such as Monitor Lizard, Crocodile, Wild Boar and Turkey and Goose. To tell the truth they all tasted a lot like chicken the only difference was the texture as the spiciness covered the rest.
