**Asherian Command**

bs name identity theft protection

**For-eign**

Nice. I tried that in middle school at one point. We made a "code" it was really just a bunch of different symbols to represent each letter in the alphabet. The downfall was everyone needed a key to remember the code, and such keys were discovered. That in turn led to quite a few of our harsher opinions being revealed to the class and faculty. It was not my proudest moment. Haha

By the way, Tim, if you read this, these props are for you!

lol

**UbiSwanky2**

It was my first e-mail long long ago but it's just like it looks.... You Be Swanky Too....swanky being cool, smart, and just genrally hip. I just like to let people know how I feel about them

**Vargtass**

Vargtass is swedish for "wolf's paw" and is also the name of a drink here in sweden made out of homebrew liqour (alternatively vodka) and various amounts and forms of lingonberry (depending on taste or how stupid you are it's various amounts of lingonberry juice or in the stupid case, a pint of homebrew with one lingon berry in it). I have used the nick for quite a while and it was either this or my nickname from my old university, Übersnackis, which is basically some sort of weird Scanian slang for a person who talks ALOT (which is correct, I can't keep my pie-hole shut for three seconds).

**Jihadnik**

I can't remember if I've already written on this thread so sorry if this is a repeat...(Hey, at least I don't have any cute cat pictures to put up instead!)

I once read the term Jihadnik in a very right wing news article about people that weren't pro war and I have used it ever since wherever I can.

The hilarious part is, its part of my email address, so when I've gotten things like my tax information that's what I write for email address.

The even more hilarious part is a mate of mine in the army used me as a character reference for a security clearance check and the first thing the defense force lady asked me over the phone was, what is your email address so I can send you the form!

I thought I would be crafty and just spell it out, but there was a long, pregnant pause after she wrote it down and then...'so you must have a weird sense of humor...'

Yup!

**HoverBoy**

You did, but the funny story was different, so i'm glad it still works gettin laughs for ya

**Jihadnik**

Ooops, yeah, I thought it looked familiar! I read quickly through the first eight pages and thought, oh, maybe I didn't...good memory...or, good speed reading there! Still, the second part of the story was only just recent...wait...I think I remember now about mentioning the tax thing?

**HoverBoy**

I remember it cuz it was funny, i like funny

**kronk**

My first D&D character. 1/2 Orc Barbarian.

**Flaming_Spider**

From tvtropes.org:

This troper once stepped into her bathroom to find a giant wolf spider. Non-poisonous, but huge and utterly terrifying. First she tried to squash it with a shoe, but it kept running away. Then she sprayed it with hairspray that made it JUMP at her and cause her to run screaming from the room. Finally she managed to more or less trick the spider into running into the sink, where she sprayed it with more hairspray and then grabbed a match, lit it, and threw it in. For the record, hairspray is REALLY flammable. Also for the record... Spiders on fire can still run!

This troper imagined that entire scenario in a Calvin And Hobbes-style comic strip.

Note that this applies to headcrabs as well.

Having spent several years as a camp counselor, this troper considers an aerosol can and a lighter the best way to deal with those pesky black widows. When a little fire doesn't work, use more.

You can NEVER have too much fire when dealing with spiders.

Am I the only one quite scared of the idea of FLAMING SPIDERS?

I thought the post was hilarious, so Flaming Spider I became.

**nomsheep**

Well, i was bored once and then i kinda thought about eating sheep. Hence Nomsheep. Nom - sheep.

**hemlighest**

HemligHest = SecretHorse

**Scrazza**

scrazza, just a funny sounding name that stuck. Now I use it as a nickname on every forum, and even on PSN/

**AbaddonFidelis**

Abaddon's Faithful. Committed to the Black Legion no matter what. I'm a sucker for a lost cause

**Happygrunt**

I used to play a lot of Halo. My username on that was Trooper7, but one day I decided I needed to change it to something a little more complicated. So I thought for a little bit, and made the name Happygrunt, because I liked the little grunts that you fought in the game. The name stuck, and if Happygrunt is taken, I will either add a 7 (my favorite number, as I like odd numbers, because in terms of strategy games, that means you can have 1-3 powerfully units and 4-6 "smurfs" or bodyguards), or Saintgrunt, as I adopted the "Saint" during my time in conformation, and the fact that among my friends I do nothing that could be seen as "bad". But since I was about 12, I have used Happygrunt, and name EVERYTHING on my computer "Happygrunt's". Including my school flashdrive. THATS fun to explain...

**Howard A Treesong**

I'm a villain from a Jack Vance book, not sure if I've mentioned this on the thread before. Big biscuit if you can name the book without googling.

**Bengrold Stonefist**

My name is a name I use for various Dwarf characters I've had in D&D, Heroquest, World of Warcraft, and Warhammer. Probably others. Ben is my real name so I wanted to think of something that incorporated it. Stonefist was the name of the a guild I started in WoW and it just kind of stuck as my last name. For fluff in Warhammer Bengrold lost his hand to a Dark Elf Hag and got a stone one attached and animated using forbidden runes.

**Aniketos**

Mine means unconquerable in Greek.

**ChiliPowderKeg**

Chili Powder - A spice made of various spicy peppers I like to put in insta-ramen

Powder Keg - A potentially explosive state (my love of caffinated beverages can relate)

It came together when I remembered the term "Balkan Powder Keg" when I was in World History class 1.

**fallen_wolfborn**

Fallen comes from my first DIY chapter name The Fallen Furies

Wolfborn comes from Canis Wolfborn

**micahaphone**

I play the saxophone, and there's a funny simpsons episode where Lisa chooses to learn how to play the saxophone, and Homer asks "Lisa, why the saxamaphone? Why not the clariminet or the tubamabob?" So I combined saxamaphone with my first name.

**Mike Noble**

The name of a character in a game called Killing Floor. I thought it sounded cool, and I usually use the name Mr.Noble elsewhere.

**GalacticDefender**

Not sure what my username means, other than that I am a total nerd, but I know that my avatar means I will eject you out of airlocks if you try to deactivate me.
