Well, most of mine have been random or about things I've been obsessed with.  The current one I have on this account (Blasted) is a homage to a Sarah Kane play of the same name.  As for the two names that most people know me by on here, Gus and Bint, the former is the fat mouse in Cinderella ( :green: ) and the latter is a word I'm fond of.

It's obvious of how I came up with my username and it does not mean I live in Spokane. It means I like the town a lot and I'm a female so it's a combination I did.


I was Snowkane Girl for a while because Spokane was hit with a lot of snow and they had over 30 cases of roof cave ins so I called it Snowkane. I saw that term and decided to use it.

P7PSP and PPK are two different Kraut pistols. P7PSP 9mm Parabellum gas retarded blowback, one of three designs along with the Walther P5 ( I have one of these to ) and SIG Sauer P6 (P225) adopted in the wake of the Olympic Park massacre. The best of the three IMO for that time frame it was the most compact high quality 9mm available until the development of the Smith & Wesson 469/669 series and was still slightly more compact until the release of the Glock 26 and Kahr K9 in the early-mid 1990s. My PPK is a 1962 built 32 ACP, the same model that Major Boothroyd and Q demanded that James Bond swap out his Beretta 25 auto for in On His Majesty's Secret Service IIRC, it was released in 1931 as a shorter, lighter version of the PP series released in 1929. The PP series was also the progenitor of the robust Makarov that the Soviets adopted circa 1951, I have a Baikal IJ70 Makarov in my safe as well.

I picked mine cos I heard Billy Connolly use it as a comment in one of his stage shows. He  said 'Yes! I am the chosen one', and I liked it ever since. I also thought it sounded good., which is why I picked it too.

I've been using the name Phlexor since 1990. Needed a name for our scene/demo group we were in and I wanted a name that did not reflect anything or was tied to any theme or era. So I made something up that meant nothing and sounded somewhat cool/pretentious in a scene type of way.

Lol, yes she was  :viking:   I liked her because she and her army got absolutely drunk out of their minds after the battle (in true celtic style)  and i know
that led to her defeat -  but it was just such a 'human' thing to do..

i prenounce it as   Boad-a-sea-a

but it used to be Budicca and the  name changed slightly throughout history


this is from my intro thread  http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php/topic,16463.75.html  (http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php/topic,16463.75.html)
Quote
Ok one Bodaccea story coming up.  Before i begin   i feel its worth pointing out to the reader a couple of things about this period in history.  Celtic women were considered more 'equal' to their men - yes they would go out hunting, fighting and were often seen slapping their thigh downing a large goblet of strong ale!!  Roman women were not!!!!! (equal)

During the Roman Empire England had numerous kings/queens.  They were land owners.  Bodaccea was the wife of one of these kings who owned the land around Colchester. They were from a celtic tribe called the iceni.  The romans came and took over many of england's 'kingdoms'.  They would try and make a deal with the land owner - he kept his title etc but would pay them fees and govern his land under their control.  An agreement such as this was in place at colchester and worked quite well...until the king died.  Bodaccea then became queen under celtic tradition and she expected the agreement made by her late husband with the romans to stand.  The roman's saw things differently and were not going to 'do business' with a woman.  They refused to acknowledge her Queen status and demanded that she give up her lands.  Bodaccea did not comply.  Eventually a huge roman army came and took the kingdom of colchester from Bodaccea.  She was forced to watch them rape and kill her two teenage daughters.  She was then forced to leave. Outcast.

Now this pissed Bodaccea off.  The iceni tribe were loyal and regrouped with Bodaccea on the outskirts of colchester.  She gathered a mighty army.  They were outnumbered by the romans but faught with passion and spirit and charged back into colchester.  They kicked ass.  Despite the odds the romans were defeated.  For a while anyway.  Bodaccea was as chuffed as a dog with two cocks.  They celebrated in true celt style -  they got pissed.  So pissed that they forgot all about the ruck with the romans who had called for backup.  They were so pissed they didnt even see the huge army coming over the hill.  There is no record of Bodaccea's grave.  It is said that she escaped and killed herself with poison.  There is a record of her by one of the roman emperors - she did exist and did kick some ass but i don't know how true the rest of the story is.  It is said she had red, waist length hair and rode a chariot - probably things just added to the story as time went on.  I like the story, and Bodaccea was a bit of a childhood hero for me.  I like it when the underdog wins,

When I first learned about Aspergers was when I was diagnosed in October.  When I signed up at WP I thought that a diagnosis at 34 was a rare thing (I knew nothing at the time) so by "midlife" I really meant "late diagnosed".  It's a dumb name and I only carried it over for continuity.  I recently dropped to the initials, but will probably be looking at a permanent name change in the near future.  Something with more thought put into it.

I started with Weakling because I was in a stupid weak part of my life. 

After a couple of months I responded to a post about Victoria, asking whether they meant the Queen or the city.  It began to have a life of it's own with attendants, royal names for my family, etc.  After a while I asked if I should change to Queen Victoria.  Everyone who responded said yes, so here I am.

Eris is the Greek goddess of chaos and discord. She has quite a reputation.

She wasn't invited to this wedding, ok, and she got real sore about it so she thought she would fuck with people and created

the golden apple of discordia :)

(http://www.flavinscorner.com/kallisti_apple.jpg)

It says, "Kallisti", meaning " to the most beautiful one". So then Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera all start fighting because they each think that the apple is her own.

Zeus tells the bitches to STFU, and lets Paris make the decision.

Well, Paris is a dude and thinks with his dick and chose Aphrodite because she promised him Helen.

You know, THE Helen.

Well, it started the Trojan war :)

and Eris LOL'ed




and I am also a Greek Goddess so I thought the name fit.

I also sometimes use Ihateandywarhol because , well, I hate Andy Warhol.

About one, but you may want to czech that. It's not like we've been Pole dancing around them. The (s)pain is too big for any one punster to handle.

Osensitive1 was self explanatory, as am of course a sensitive and delicate flower. Scrap posted a thread about a fellow named Jack, so changed to Jack because it's a great name and had actually considered it as a choice when joining. It means Jack.

Had no idea I was responsible for this. :paperbag:

I probably posted this before but scrapheap was a name i came up with for automotive forums. Scrap refers to a machinist making a mistake and the defective part is called scrap. Heap refers to my former boss who was always calling his race car "this old heap". I made parts for his car, some of them were scrap and they went on John's old heap.   :green:

Pappy Boyington was the commanding officer of VMF-214 in WW II. He was the second highest scoring ace in the Pacific and a notorious belligerent drunk.

Didn't know about Pappy but have heard the scrapheap story.

Did Pappy fly drunk?

Possibly, he wouldn't be the only one who did that. Ernst Udet used to fly drunk on cognac and spun on meth.

ADHD amongst other things so I have a lot of nicks.

neuroman from when i first learned i was autistic. superman my childhood hero. sure can't be superman, but can be neuroman. i had the whole superman thing transliterated to neuroman's characteristics. i think it's still somewhere on WP in my profile.

tinkerjack = jack which i don't use anymore to avoid confusion. i am a tinker and a jack of all trades. jack is also a part of me that's seldom activated. when i wear that hat i have much higher verbal and analytical skills. that part of me is also a really good cook while this part of me manages to burn water on a regular basis.

wolfish = IRL nick is wolf, but also voracious when it comes to reading books. i also like fish.

hyperman = that was before i got the hyper part of the adhd under control
