Mine's from the "Firebird Suite" by Igor Stravinsky. I used to play a lot of classical music, and it was a cool handle for online gaming too
When I first saw Firebird I thought somebody was refering to xSilverPhonix  ;D

I think it's an excellent user name.

Thanks Tank!

I again, mentioned this in my original thread about how I got to have my user name. My name comes from my all time favorite movie, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". It means "little old man from scene 24". However, when I first came up with this user name many moons ago, I misquoted the movie. The quote really is "it's the old man from scene 24". But by the time I had realized that I had already used the user name and had a muscle memory of typing lomfs24. No going back now.


That's awesome. We just watched that again, along with Life of Brian. I'd be surprised if anyone this forum has not see Brian

Classy childhood,eh folks?
This shit was actually sequential,it had 7 games altogether.
I don't know why i am still using this username.
I also feel very uneasy after writing this.
There are people who want to make men's lives more difficult for no other reason than the chance it provides them afterwards to offer their prescription for alleviating life; their Christianity, for instance.

I live in Central America, soooo I picked a Spanish word, ateo which mean unbeliever. Short and fits like socks on a rooster.

Very good user name. I was however unaware that roosters ever wore socks!  :D

I was a Drake Women's Basketball player from 2007-2011. I have a ton of pride in my school and my team and what they have done for me in my lifetime, so I try to represent as much as possible! :)

Amicale

In French, 'amical' means 'friendly'. I'm a woman, so... 'amicale'. :)

It's just how I try my best to be, every day of my life, to those around me. Of course I occasionally flub it up, as we all do, but for the most part I just try to be as even-tempered and easy to get along with as possible.

wiki the name if you are not aware about who invented geographic lattitute, discovered iceland in a sea with floating ice and consciously reported admiring stonehenge (as a protoceltic-druid?) relic 400 years before the romans. His geography book lost, as are the more interesting and poignant even by modern standards ancient greek discourses.

But depress not, for the homo sapiens model is identical in this brief span of age, and reproduce it can and will, all facets of intellectual exploration.

that is why although suppressed and disfamed to the hope of oblivion, we live as epicurus described. As far as behaviour and motives go he was as accurate as a field biologist describing the species.

Harmonie

I've never been good at making usernames. Usually I go with something musical instrument related because I'm always proud of what I play.  :P

I came up with 'Radiant' when I shifted my life-view to one that's more positive. I used to be a very negative pessimistic 'realist'. However, then some things happened and I realized that negativity gets me nowhere and is a waste of my life. By negativity I mean thinking that life sucks, that I'm a failure that can never accomplish my goals, and that I'm below everybody else. That is very much how I used to think, and I let it be known. I don't want to be seen like that anymore. I want to set an example as well, but I know choosing a positive username won't do that.

AnefIsEnuf

I'm not good at making up usernames. I'm not particularly creative. This name is a play on my actual name, which someone else came up with, and I liked it. Kind of boring.
