He didn't slay any. He just stood around and claimed victory after a Dragon ate Beowulf

A young man, 14 years old, is sitting in front of his computer with its brand spanking new internet connection. He needs a nickname. He has a map of the constellations of the northern sky on his wall.

He does not have a book on Greek mythology.

One of, maybe, four time I actually did laugh out loud.

I have no idea what the guy in the next cube thinks. Imagine hearing "Kasipea, HAHAHAHAH!!" from over the cube wall.

Mine, as I mentioned in my barely concealed effort to hyjack this subject, is my name: Padilla, H.

[ZEE]

to get back on topic...

MY name comes from a character from Robert Asprin's book M.Y.T.H. inc, a "demon" known as AAHZ (hence the pic below my name.) I also used the name as a character for one of my RPG's for over a decade...

[Fake Boris]

It's a variation on the 'Uncle Sam' theme. For my high school graduation ball, I dressed as closely as possible as to resemble Uncle Sam, but in red instead, with a communist symbol on the hat. People were like 'oh, here's Uncle Boris', so I kept the nickname.

[Ninot]

You tried to dress as Uncle Sam for your graduation?

I've never heard of something like that before.

[Dauphin]

Maybe it was clown college.

I've wondered about what some of them could mean ("Brachy-pride," "Kuciwalker," "Cort Haus," etc.). Why don't you tell us?

Mine's easy: Shiva is my first name, and since it was already taken when I signed up, and since I'd lost the password to my original SirShiva, I settled on Lord.

There's nothing nuanced or complicated about my username.

[Sir Og]

I started using Sir Og when playing HOMM2 multi player. I liked knight heroes the best hence "Sir" and Og is the first two letters from my real name.
Og was supposed to sound barbarish because I liked the barbarian towns armies.

Lie Fake Boris! Just Kidding.

Oh, and my username means nothing at all. I just thought is sounded cool, but now everyone calls me Kid and I'm 38.
