Bah, I guess there's not too many pictures of it.

Besides, felch is as type of flower (apparently).

Kamrat X is a name I choose because Kamrat (Comrade) is what I am and X sounded cool (like Malcolm X) I first used it as a DL on a swedish stalinist discussion board. I posted some seriously demented ravings on Albania and North Korea being socialist paradises and everybody who didn´t think so was revisionist-trotskyist-class traitors and enemys of the people. Everybody fell for it of course, sometimes it´s hard to distinguish between parody and reality (especially when you´re certain that the world stopped evolving in 1953... )

I skulked (mostly) on alpha.owo as Bishop (from Alien). PsychedelicWarlord (from the awsome hippie band Hawkwind) is another handle I´ve used infrequently.

Thanks for noticing the truth, Osweld, and not forcing any double standard on me on what topic I am permitted to speak or joke about --- especially when others start the topic.

You do not see me start a new thread every other week on homosexuality, unlike some people who are obssessed with ME issues, and start a new thread every week on that.

Uber is german for "above" if i am correct. they have those dots over it but i'm all "american" over here. Uber has been construed to mean "super" in American connotation, and was stolen from me by lame script kiddies who proclaim "teh uber reet". whatever.

krux may mean somethign in german (german people always msg me in german and i tell them i have no idea what they're saying) but i use the english word crux (the K makes it evil, i swear).

so i am either the basis, or central part of something, or a seemingly unsolvable problem (paradoxical). depending on who you are

Paiktis means player but it was taken.
So I added 22 after the phrase "catch 22" which I erroneously thought it meant something cool.

Now I grasp the irony.

I was hitchin' around Canada/U.S. from when I was 15-19. I was living out of abandoned buildings and sleeping in old cars and the like. Well, living like that you get dirty. I got myself a really bad case of scabies. They got so bad at one point that i had scabs and "blisters" all over my hands and arms. When I was living out of an old train tower in Little Rock, one of the older guys that lived in there as well used to call me Blister boy. I have been using the name since then.

Comrade X was a Clark Gable and Hedy Lamarr movie. "An American reporter smuggling news out of Soviet Moscow is blackmailed into helping a beautiful Communist leave the country."
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0032349

So Kamrat X could be interpreted as the name of someone seeking freedom.

My screen name is completely random, and I started using it maybe 5 years ago - a friend was playing a computer game, and named his character "jalfagoingonit" - I shortened it for ease of typing, and now I have a screenname. It has nothing to do with the words "going on it", BTW.
