Explain your screen name

[Lambo-Fan]

The meaning of my forum name "Lambo-Fan" is really simple. It shows my interest in Lamborghinis (Countach, Diablo and Murciélago).

New Helvitia was the name of the town I was born in. Long before I was born, the name was changed to Sacramento which happens to be the capitol of California.

PS: LamboFan: are you the same Jörg that used to have a signature with "we are Jörg, you will be assimilated" ? (if not, than that means there are at least 3 of us... or that the assimilation has begun )

[Ajax]

I needed an alias for playing games. The AJ comes from my initials, and from that I thought Aj-Ax... AjAx. The name doesn't help me 'clean up' in those multiplayer games any. eh, oh well. At least my name has nothing to do with chickens. *laughs*

I think it was a quote from Crazy People. That's what you get when you have a bunch of asylum inmates do your advertising slogans for you.

BTW, my name is Andrew Gallagher, so you can probably see where my user name comes from.

GURM, i'm surprised at you.

[Mehen]

back in the days of Mplayer i joined a Scarab "clan" named the Society of Ra. its "clan" in quotations because we have always thought of ourselves as more of a community (or a society) of gamers than a clan. anyways, since it was Scarab we all used egyptian names. back in the mplague days we used to have 2 names which were hyphonated. mine was |Mehen-Seth|. we all use the | |'s around our name rather than a clan name like {SoR} or something, it just looked cooler. then awhile back we all switched to using just one name instead of 2, so i became |Mehen|, and ive used that name for almost every game ive ever played since. the nice thing about it is i have never seen anyone else use that name, so if you see that name, you can bet its me
Mehen: An Egyptian serpent god. He defends the solar bargue of the sun-god during his nightly passage through the underworld. Mehen was usually depicted as a snake coiled about the barque.

[Belwarrior]

My use of belwarrior comes from the time i was playing doorgames on BBSes, There was a game called Arrowbridge where u can play as a Thief, Wizard, Fighter (or was it Knight) and Ranger. I was part of a group and as the thief and fighter had been chosen by someone else. The conversation as follows:
Me : Hmm what exactly does a ranger do anyways?
Friend : A lean warrior of the woodlands, can fight but not as good as a fighter but can heal himself like a wizard.
Me : Seems like a good choice. I'll be that warrior then.
Friend : YOU?!! with that belly of yours, a lean ranger?
Me : Hey why not? I shall be the unique guy then, A Bellied Ranger.
From there, my nick came to be Bellied Warrior the Ranger.
Everyone else on the board got lazy and refer to me as the BellyWarrior, eventually it became Belwarrior. When i got hotmail & yahoo. It was the first name that came to mind and it is unique enough that i have never got the usual "User name already in Use".
Even now i get ICQed by members of the BBSes who ask if i was that guy from Arrowbridge.
