Why did you choose your user names

[Taz]

Mine goes back to the days when you could only enter three letters into a high score table on arcade games, the first three letters of my surname are TAY which didn't sound too good so I replaced the Y with a Z which sounded better. So not after the cartoon character as most people imagine

[Jammrock]

Mine is a play on my name that my sister actually gave me a long, long time ago in a computer Yahtzee game far away. We were typing in our player names and I decided to call my brother, Thomas, Thomstone (a play on tombstone). My sister typed in mine as Jamrock (keeping the theme of the first part of your name plus some type of stone). I thought it sounded pretty cool, so I tagged on an extra 'M' and my computer/Internet handle has been Jammrock ever since.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.....

[omegaRED]

I chose mine because i`m a big fan of the X-Men, my fav character being Wolverine, but there were lots of Wolverines out there. So i chose omegaRED, another character from the X-Men, because a friend of mine used to kick the shit out of me playing with Omega Red in Marvel vs. StreetFighter on Sony PS. Also i like the meaning of omega (The End)

BTW my first nick was XuX. No real meaning there.

[spoogenet]

I'll leave the name to your imagination....it'll probably be more interesting than the story behind it.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......curry. My roommate is Indian...like, ya know, from India. His mom makes the bomb-ass chicken curry and nan....good stuff. Not to mention the other great dishes she makes.

In Germany I used to get curry ketchup for my fries, made with yellow curry....good stuff.

There be some very good Thai dishes with curry, too, as has been mentioned.

Hey! I haven't had any lunch yet...

Perhaps all of us UK MURCers could meet up for a curry somewhere (there may be the odd restaurant or two in Leicester

We could set up a web cam and then the rest of the Murcers could watch

Tony, sounds like a excellent idea, especially as Leciester should be only a hour or so by train from MK. Saying that me and some of the IBM chaps working at BP are going on one of their leaving do's tomorrow lunchtime at an Indian *eat as much as you want for £5.99* place called Chillies. Unfortunately they dont sell anything too hot. Certainly no Madras's or Vindaloo's though they do something similar to a Jalfrezi (or should that be a Smoking Joe Frasier). At least toilet time wont be painfull

[Admiral]

Some people use to call me Amirale (which translates into Admiral!). Has something to do with my last name.

[Hunsow]

Hunsow is a legendary dutch city that was destroyed by the vikings, well not really it's just a legend. But if it existed at all it would have been close to where I live. I needed a quake2 online player name and I thought this name would be sort of fitting, nice short original and related to battle. Since then I use it for everything, although lately it has evolved to Hunzy.

And I could have sworn that agallag was gallaga reversed, the arcade game? (But apparently me stupid and cannot spell )

[Wombat]

Actually Hunzy, Galaga is with one 'l'.

[Indiana]

Like with many other mine is a "relict" of older times. In the "good old" C=64 days I used to type "Indiana Jones", "Boris Becker" or "Bill Gates" in the highscore lists of all those pirated games. Somehow I stayed with "Indiana Jones", "Indiana" or simply "Indy" (whatever is still unused).
Just a lack of imagination, really....

[Wulfman]

wulfman.... from a game of course, might had been jetfighter I - used it in games, later internet games - and finally everywhere online...

I realised too late that they spelt it wrong in the game, played it in my "pre-english-speaking" time.

[Ovi]

Ovi is a short form of my name- Ovais. Everyone at home calls me Ovi, and now increasingly all my friends are doing the same, since Ovais is a little difficult to pronounce!
Kindness: Simply put, Curry is a heavily spiced sauce or relish made with curry powder and eaten with rice, meat, fish, or other food, here curry powder is a condiment used for making curry, formed of various materials, including strong spices, as pepper, ginger, garlic, coriander seed, etc. Primarily of Indian origin.
Cheers

The terminology threw me. When you refer to it as “a curry” I thought it was something like an ice cream or something (a single item). I didn’t know that it was a whole genre of food.

Here in our area after a full night of partying we use to go to the “Waffle House” (yes that’s the name of the place). They are open 24 hours and serve greasy breakfast type foods. Any other time it is pretty gross, but I can’t for the life of me understand why it tastes so good at 3am after one of those nights.
