OK, so how did everyone come up with their user name for this place?

mine - I was lazy and kept the one I used on the old 928 message board I used to be on - 928's are called "landsharks" for their shark-like look.

Well, I was sitting in a pub one night about forty years ago, when this guy wearing a dress walks in the door, and all of a sudden a 10 Ton weight falls through the ceiling and squashes the guy flat as a pancake.
I thought "Hmmm, this could turn into something big"

I bumped my head really hard falling down some stairs.

Actually, I was looking for a unique word in the dictionary (I actually put effort into this. I need a life) and couldn't find anything cleaver that really fit with SVX until I came accros "xeno" which means something to the effect of "unique". Now THAT fit the car. Hence "svxeno" [tada!]

'back in the day', when my friends and I were little miscreants running rampant around our neighborhood causing mischief... well, we figured it'd be safer and cooler to use 'handles' or 'codenames' instead of our real names, in case someone overheard our conversations. The day before we went out TPing one night, I watched "Tango and Ca$h"...hence... Ca$h....

- Ca$h

Used to be called Der_Engel on IRC a couple of years back. *Looks over the shoulder for any FBI agents* Since Der_Engel means "The Angel", I decided to be the higest class of angel that can exist. Seraphims. Thus, Seraph.

I'm like Lee - it was mah momma and mah daddy's idea. Blame them.

Alycone · #9 10-26-2002, 08:21 PM

If I change my handle to Alycone (cross between Allison and Alcyone) will I get a ton of messages pointing out that I spelled it wrong?

Very simple.

I would have picked a cool nick, but I didn't realize you couldn't change it after a while.

I live in Canada therefore the Kanuck (had to be a bit unique with the spelling as the SVX is a unique car) and I am originally from northern ontario for the north portion.
