Where does your screenname come from?

There's also an X-men character and a cheesy 70's thriller with the same name.

it's also the common diplomacy term for a Russo-Turkish alliance.

[KrazyHorse]

It's a term for any irresistibly destructive force.

Paiktis means player but it was taken.
So I added 22 after the phrase "catch 22" which I erroneously thought it meant something cool.

Now I grasp the irony.

God love you, my hairy Greek friend.

I don't get it, but maybe it's the alcohol talking.

[notyoueither]

Think about it Asher.

[Asher]

Hmm. Maybe I'm stupid, drunk, and my brain's fried from studying calculus all day but I don't get it.

Carry on anyway

[Blisterz]

I was hitchin' around Canada/U.S. from when I was 15-19. I was living out of abandoned buildings and sleeping in old cars and the like. Well, living like that you get dirty. I got myself a really bad case of scabies. They got so bad at one point that i had scabs and "blisters" all over my hands and arms. When I was living out of an old train tower in Little Rock, one of the older guys that lived in there as well used to call me Blister boy. I have been using the name since then.

Comrade X was a Clark Gable and Hedy Lamarr movie. "An American reporter smuggling news out of Soviet Moscow is blackmailed into helping a beautiful Communist leave the country."

So Kamrat X could be interpreted as the name of someone seeking freedom.

My screen name is completely random, and I started using it maybe 5 years ago - a friend was playing a computer game, and named his character "jalfagoingonit" - I shortened it for ease of typing, and now I have a screenname. It has nothing to do with the words "going on it", BTW.

[Hobbes]

Hobbes is from, no not the philosopher, but the cartoon character from 'Calvin and Hobbes'.

Ecthelion, do you have a picture of me?

Why are you asking?
