in german Gaffer describes a persons who just stares in a certain direction or at a certain object. For example when there is an accident quite often lots of people pile around and just look what is happening. They are called "Gaffers" (the s is for plural), because obviously they are doing nothing else than look (gaffen = looking). I dont know if this is special Austrian-German though


My nick comes from the computer game Archimedian Dynasty a.k.a Schleichfahrt. There for a short time a guy named Atahualpa Jones gives you a job. I needed a nick and I liked it so I picked it (if everything in life would have been that simple ).
In Aquanox they gave him a big show (unfortunately completely ****ed it).

Yeah, but I never registered any so I stopped.:/ All four are probably on one of the scsi harddrives I have sitting around.
Though I did find a way around Blades not letting you modify the map if you hadn't registered.

Yep, and he's really short for a guy - 5'7". I walked past him at the lobby of a movie theatre once, and I couldn't imagine dating him, because I was wearing heels, and I'm bigger than he is. Althought I suspect he was wearing elevator shoes, which technically makes him like 5'4".

Yep, Pekka, in that competition, you'd be my pick. Unless you're 5'6" - then you're out of the running. You and Tobey Maguire gotta go to the coatroom.

Its a Radiohead song thats all.

I also like Evil Emperor of Wales, Xin Qua Xianchi, IW. Maybe i should change mine?

I think that at the time I chose this username there was a debate on the OT about nuclear weapons. Since Peter Sellers was one of my favorite comedians I naturally thought about this movie in which he starred.

So you can't date a man because he is smaller than you
