Yup, sounds like me alright. Well, except that I spell better

I choose the name long before ST: First Contact and I do wish they had never made that movie... Not that it was a bad movie, but it made this name waaayyy to fashionable (now out of fashion )

you forgot song names.

my screen name was a song name (I shortened it from the original though), and one of my DL's. here was a Rage Against the Machine screen name.

Ass Clown would be category 7 though.

And Barfasm was just something I made up. Partly because of the movie Spaceballs, I just added the last part.

I also had a screen name called: Puaxant Tuvip. Place that one!! -easy if you know the translation which I have put in the screen name thread.

Skanky, I'm impressed actually, you seem to be able to at least get a look in on categories 1,2,3 and 6. Your own skankiness, and Mr Burns surname combining to form an A/N private joke. ha.
And you should lose the santa hat on your avatar.

If you are indeed a cockney, then under the descriptions sub-section of category 1. Otherwise 5 or 8

red_jon I would take as category 1, perhaps with a smattering of 4.

So Benjamin, which category do I fit under then?

There needs to be a 'geeky computer game/tyrant title + surname' category, ie Provost Harrison, Datajack Franit, Genghis Vick...

Borderline 1 or 2. Provost is in essence a description, truthful or otherwise, (1) or the name of some SMAC character so I'm told (2). And Harrison is your name (1).

Although I get the point you are making. There is a category missing, which can broadly be defined as "Things". The entry for "Things" should go as follows:

Things.
See: A/N. Omit either the A or the N.
e.g. Kassiopeia, lightblue, Trip


Lightblue is actually an injoke that has slightly backfired now. If you represent Cambridge uni at sports, you get awarded colors, which are lightblue (green really...). I represented Camridge in basketball for a few years, got awarded a blue, and as such thoguht it might be a decent identifier.

Problem now is that i am at the "other" university in Cambridge... should change my name to Black'nGold or something.

I wouldn't recommend that name - it makes you sound like a cheap supermarket brand.

Hmm, lessee... I (or rather Laz) made up the first bit because it sounded okay (is this "lazy"?), I thought the last name was cool when I first saw it, and it's the name of either my stage persona or another person, depending on how you look at it. On CG I'm also "A/N", but that apparently doesn't count.

There is also the movie:

With Glandalf (Ron Jeremy) and other characters and a ring which isn't supposed to be worn on the finger.

I guess I fall under lazy names.

I'm glad to see that Ming's Gay Lover hasn't been forgotten.
