Nemain 09-21-2004 04:07 PM

nemain: Furious Goddess of the MORRIGAN Mob.

Her name means frenzy or fury. Think battlefields of blood and pub punch-ups

doublette 09-21-2004 04:24 PM

My brother gave me the nickname years ago when I found out I was carrying twins. Someone told me it actually means 'an artist's copy of his own work'. Seems fitting enough.. :biggrin:

Delphinus 09-21-2004 04:40 PM

I always wondered where Asmodeus came from.

Delphinus is the name of the dolphin in Greek mythology. I've heard several versions though, and I'm not sure which one is correct, or perhaps they all are. The one I'm most familiar with is this. Poseidon, king of the sea, wanted to marry Amphitrite (sister of Thetis). She didn't take too well to the idea, or something ... so she fled into the mountains. He sent many messengers to the mountains to plead for her return, but it was Delphinus the dolphin who won her over with his charms (or something). So Poseidon thanked Delphinus by making him into a constellation.

Those Ancient Greeks... :rolleyes: Some days you have to wonder what they were smokin'. Personally, I'm a little unclear about how a dolphin made it into the mountains .. but .. maybe I'm overanalyzing the plot a little. I'm not sure.

Delphinus seems to be popular name for sail boats.

trilinearmipmap 09-21-2004 04:48 PM

A computer graphics term from my younger days. I don't like this name and I want to change it to something more recognizable.

christyf5 09-21-2004 05:36 PM

christy: my name

years ago I was signing up for an email account: christy was taken, christyf was taken. I was the 5th christyf, by then I was tired of thinking of names so that was good enough for me.

I wish I had something fancier and with more meaning although I did have a good laugh when someone pointed out to me that the "F5" key was the refresh key (I do that alot on this site :razz:).

Christy :)

Delphinus 09-21-2004 05:37 PM

LOL I know what a trilinear mipmap is .... :eek: But I was a comp. graphics geek in a former life too.

I had to change my avatar, I used to have a picture of the constellation "Delphinus" but when I would meet up with fellow Canreefers, people were like ... "are you the guy with stars ... what's up with that". :redface:

Christy, I always thought the F5 was a reference to the refresh. :lol:

EmilyB 09-21-2004 06:31 PM

EmilyB - my doberman and alter ego - the B stands for "Bad" :mrgreen:

Quinn 09-21-2004 06:32 PM

Needed a new handle a few years ago, was browsing a friend's site and saw that he had spelt out TV as Teevee, so I just went with it... has no significance.

LostMind 09-21-2004 06:45 PM

LostMind.... hmmm, self explantory, right? :)

Cap'n 09-21-2004 10:02 PM

Cpt Clever was an old handle I used years ago while playing Mech-Warrior with a group of my friends.

When I first found this forum I was intrigued by the avatars (I had never used one before) so I went on the hunt. When I found the "clever icon" I currently use I figured I would join this forum as my old "Blastin' Captain"

I would prefer to change it to CptCleverer

Old Guy 09-21-2004 10:12 PM

I am's what I am's :lol: .

Marcus K 09-22-2004 01:28 AM

Invigor 09-22-2004 02:28 AM

InVigor® hybrid canola (oilseed rape) varieties are suited to various climatic and soil conditions in different agricultural practices. These hybrid varieties also have tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium and Liberty® herbicide.

InVigor® hybrid Canola was first marketed commercially in Canada in 1997. In 2003, InVigor® hybrids had a market share of 25% in Canada and are currently establishing themselves in major export markets including Japan, Mexico and China.

InVigor® hybrid canola offers significant yield benefits to farmers as well as agricultural management options that require fewer cultivation techniques and therefore save both fuel and time.

I've been using this handle for about 9 years now...I guess it just stuck.

In conjunction with being "invigor" I also go by "FarmerJohn". :mrgreen:

ruck'n'reefer 09-22-2004 02:59 AM

BMW Rider 09-22-2004 03:32 AM

The other money sucking black hole that I regularly feed my income to is my BMW motorcycle. It is actually my main transportation, getting more than thre times the annual mileage my truck does. Thus I am BMW Rider. Some of you have questioned my sanity having shown up on your doorsteps on my bike to get frags, but heck I've even hauled home a 150 gallon box of salt home on it. I just wish we had Vancouver winters here so I could ride longer.

kari 09-22-2004 03:45 AM

Considerable thought was put in on mine and it will remain confidential.

Canadian Man 09-22-2004 03:50 AM

When I was sighning up for Canreef 3ish years ago I was filing out the info on the screen and Paul Brant's song "Canadian Man" was playing in the background.

Simple :biggrin:

cc_bruno 09-22-2004 04:14 AM

Well, a lot of thought went into mine as well, not. cc_bruno is really my dog's name combined with his breed. He's a Cane Corso, hence the cc, and his name, oddly enough, is Bruno. Works out great too for my hotmail account... I can always tell when it's junk mail... it's addressed to my dog, :biggrin: (now, if I can only get him a credit card... then he can pay for his own food :biggrin: ).

LostMind 09-22-2004 04:02 PM

jgoldsney 09-22-2004 05:29 PM

On some other message boards I go by Toast_Man, a handle that i came up with while playing comand and conquer many moons ago. I had to enter a name and it popped in to my head.

Another beyond healthy love and fasination (besides the fish) for gray wolves.

Or maybe from having longer hair than my wife...or a few wolf based tatoos...all of which are black ink...

or just being a generally furry bugger...but if i listened to the dear wife it would say sasquatch in the top left corner of this post.

AJ_77 09-23-2004 04:00 PM

Mine is obscure...

But I do admire DJ_88's nick!
