How did you get your Handle? - Page 7

handle 1, "martyr": playing Jane's Fighters Anthology many, many years ago, my squadron gave me this callsign. in the event of weapons systems failures, i almost always ditched my aircraft into an enemy's aircraft, and sometimes i didn't eject, just to make sure i hit 'em.

handle 2, "Tango Uniform": named after the comics i started drawing years ago. in turn, those are named for the phoenetic-alphabet representation of the common abbreviation (TU) for the military slang term for inoperative/broken: Tits Up. Now you know.

In the incubus video, "Warning," at 10:24, everyone in the world disappears. I have many philosophies on why at this time they chose for the event to happen, but i don't really feel like expanding on the subject right now.

Ein (The smart-dog from Cowboy bebop) + e (My own horrible spelling and lack of research on the name) + BeBoP (Cowboy Bebop) = my name.

Now I go by Einne in MMORPGs, where I want my name to actually sound like a name instead of a nick-name.

Usted to be known as Wehttam, because wehttam = matthew backwards.

Be4 that, was Rivendale08th (from LOTR, the Elf city)

and way back when when i first started online, I was Biando.

btw, Sputtys lieing about his name

I remember when he told me what his name meant.

Lol, I just remembered my brother uses "Illfraguall" as his screen name, and it is never already taken. I always thought it was kinda cool... until I actually read it aloud =P

Rayder · 2004-02-02, 05:06 AM

Well, if you say it as "Ill-fra-guall" it sounds spanish.

I took my handle, GreyFox, from Metal Gear Solid. But it's quite popular, so in PlanetSide my nick is SolidAzure.

SolidAzure isn't based on anything, except that I took the part Solid from Solid Snake in the above game and added Azure. It took me a while to get a name that wasn't already taken in the game.

The Azure comes from a nick I used on another forum, AzureBlue. Not the best nick, but I invented it when I registered.

Ditto, except mine looks better.

"OnizukaDEMON" <-- Came about since someone already took "Onizuka" on Werner, and they wouldn't allow hypens in your name.
So I figured I might as well make my avatar twice as evil, (Since "Oni" means demon in Japanese).

Vanu 4 life!

got mine from a Friend, it was a long time ago about 3-4 years so I was in High school then and He was wondering about his girlfriend and if she was faithful or cheating. So then we made up code names I can't remember what we used but we had signal waving the hands and everything. We had a Confirmation Signal "Bambi's with the Groundhog". And if we were caught either by the Enemy "Teacher Staff" or spotted by the girlfriend "cuz she knows us" we were to shout repeatadly and not stop saying "DIDDY MAO!!!!!!!"........ DIDDY MAO!!!! after that it just stuck I guess used it ever since. Sure beats the hell outta Apocolypse89678902

i was gonna ask you about that cuz that's the largest concentration of 10:24 that i've ever seen....now many times i will look at the clock and see 10:24..and er..think something will happen O.o

1024 is a cubic number (or what do you call them?), when;
1*2 = 2,
2*2 = 4,
4*4 = 8..... 64...............512*2 = 1024
