Username, and avatar meanings?

Hello,
I have seen some unusual usernames and some avatars that look really cool


so, i was wondering what they mean, or why you picked them, or whatever, just trying to get a friendly chat going on here


ill start

my username is pretty stupid actually, i tried to get my usual one, but stuff wasnt working out, and i was getting annoyed, and was in a cheery mood so, i made this one up

Royal-y__Great =

Royal Python (other name for bp)

they ARE great, better than great, Royal-y_Great


get it? lol, took my brother a little while to understand it



your turn;)

Freakie_frog

my nick name was Kermit but after college it change to Freakie_frog for one reason or another

rex is my first snake (BP) and i got him on march 22, or 3/22

normballpython2= normal ball python and i planned on getting a second one the next breeding season oh yeah i only really collect normal morphs of any reptile so i am considered a norm

Podo.........ummmmmmmmm.............Podo..........Damn I forget.. Can I get back to you. I don't think it has a meaning I just think it is cool I usally use Mr. Podo or Podo Da Pimp or Something of that nature.

UberAlice- remnant from my days as a clubkid, that's what I used to be known as and people still call me that if they know me from the rave/club scene. They know my real name...they just don't use it. THe name itself originated from several things....Alice in Wonderland is my favorite book of all time, and my mom used to call me Alice because of that when I was little. It's also a play off of two song titles, "California Uber Alles" by the Dead Kennedys and "Ich Bin Uber Alles" by Hanzel Und Gretyl.

Haha, I like this topic a lot! :D
First off Hanzel Und Gretyl OWNS! *drool*

Okay, The name Blink comes from my old MMORPG game Runescape. Why I picked it? I don't really know ... just did ... and stuck with it.

My avatar is actually from Tools Lateralus cd.

UberAlice are ya going to see Hanzel Und Gretyl?
10.09.2004 Bogarts Cincinnati, OH

DUDE! H&G GOT ADDED!
I'm already guestlisted for that show to see Ministry and MLWTTKK (I :heart: birthday presents from friends in the music industry) but H&G!!!!!!! *dies*
I saw them in Boston and they're phenomenal live. Plus Vaz wants to steal my Volkspolizei armband and Lupi drunkenly almost pulled my skirt down. Good times.

Aww, I want to see em live ...
I'm just to lazy to actually drive a far distance to see em.
Orlando is a good 2 hours away lol.

They're going to be at BB Kings in NYC :(
Aww, I wish I could see em there.
All the best bands pass by there.

oh yeah my avatar is my bp reeses having his first feed man was that exciting it marked a stepping stone for me and him and i like just seeing him consume a friggin rat lol

I got lucky. I like to use my real name, I figure that way people will know I'm being up front and honest right from the beginning. Don't get me wrong, if you're going to have a nick name, it may as well be cool and the internet is a great place for it...where else can a person decide what others call them? In the real world people get STUCK with nicknames, online people PICK them.

I was just lucky enough to register on this forum about ten minutes after it's creation. I've seen other Brandons on here but they all have something like Brandon.0 or Brandon.4 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I WIN!

Okay, I'm kidding, just being an ass. I really don't mean anything against the other Brandons it's just that I've never won anything before...


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......HA

Okay... I really didn't write that I'm being "an fanny" that must be one of those administrator things. I really wrote "BEEP". LOL

i have won a b/w portable telivision before lol

Smulkin dubbed me Smynx. He calls me "mynx" sometimes - it's my favorite pet name. We put an "s" in front of it because Smulkin and Smynx sounds better than Smulkin and Mynx. I'll let him tell you where Smulkin came from.

My avatar showed up on a google image search when I was looking for Uroboros. It's not biting its tail, but I like it anyway.

I have always liked nature and am interested in the idea of greenman. Greenman is a pegan diety that is supposedly the link between nature and man. My avatar is a greenman image.
If you ever go to England, they have greenman carvings and statues on buildings.
Pegans helped build some of the catholic churches and added some indescrete greenman carvings on beams or in the corners. Thought that was kinda interesting. Pegan diety in a catholic church...

Funky, skulkin', smirkin' - mix it all up and add in a dash of Poor Tom's "diabolical rant" from King Lear - viola!


(was at Bogarts in Feb and visited Don Hamper in Colombus on the return trip to pick up benny and betty lol!)

Favorite Groups/Bands of all time! (Not in any order) Kottonmouth Kings, Tool, OPM, Sublime, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, A Perfect Circle, Bad Religion, Beatles and the Beastie Boys I have many more bands I like this is just what I mainly listen to. I have no clue why I posted this I just got a lil bored I guess. ehh

Greenman, Catholics incorporated a lot of pagan symbology and ritual into their faith when they were trying to convert the pagans to Christianity. Easter and Christmas were originally pagan holidays. The Catholics decided it was in their best interest to let the pagans keep their holidays if they were going to get them to convert, so they decided to celebrate Christ's birthday at Yule and Christ's resurrection at Ostara. Did you think it was coincidence that All Saints Day is celebrated the day after Halloween, aka Samhain? The Virgin Mary is the mother goddess. There are countless other ways paganism was incorporated. The chalice used at Catholic mass is the same cup used in pagan ritual. Can you tell that I'm a Catholic/Pagan crossover? It's absolutely fascinating, really.

mmmmm k.....
hehehe
I have Kottonmouth Kings autographs by the way.... dont really like em, but I used to work at Kmart and they came in for supplies on their tour... Those are some weird guys...

ahhhh.....KMK so great and yes they are sorta weird they are just stoners.....Plain and simple. But they are great.......I have MushroomHeads autographs on a shirt, shoes, pack of smokes and a hat.

very cool smynx, I didnt know that. I would love to learn more about the two religions and how they entwine. I grew up LDS and never really learned much about other religions. Starting to poke around though :wink:
Did you see King Arthor? Good movie, had a little bit of the pegan/catholic thing going on...

that is a really cool avatar green man

With a name like Green man I have to ask. Do you smoke mary jane?

ty Brian :) I am constantly changing my avatar though, never happy I guess lol

podo, actually no, never touched the stuff

Greenman - there's plenty of information out there on the subject. I haven't seen that movie, but the story of King Arthur takes place at the time the conversion from pagan to Christianity was going on. If you like fiction, read The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Bradley is a pagan priestess. The book tells the classic King Arthur story, but from the perspective of the women. The really interesting thing is that Bradley's fiction is historically accurate in terms of pagan ritual and the conversion to Christianity. The Discovery channel usually has specials on around Halloween about the connections, so keep an eye out for that. There's also a ton of non-fiction available on subject.

Very cool, thanks! :)

YOU LIE GREEN MAN! YOUR A STONER AND I KNOW IT!

ummmm no.... I dont and have never done any drugs. Ive alway prided myself on that...

Uh, I have Peter Steeles autograph ...
I actually met Fabulous (Rapper blah) ...
He parked his Continental GT Bentley right next to me.
I also met Edsel Dope ...

Green Man, do you have Pakelika's autograph?
Did ya see him without his mask?

Poor Podo, he is lonely and looking for a stoner buddy :P

who is Pakelika? lol
I'll send that herd of piebalds your way for Peters autograph.... :wink:

For what it's worth, Bradley's The Firebrand takes the only school-assigned book that I refused to finish reading -- The Iliad -- and turns it into a fabulous retelling of a classic story. I also find the evolution of religions (to coin a contentious phrase) fascinating, particularly the parts that are deliberately excluded from the history provided to the casual student (such as the married popes, Martin Luther's extreme anti-semitism, and the fact that before the mass genocides perpetrated by followers of Christianity most of the world observed pagan or goddess-based religions).

Oh, and my name is my name and my avatar is by demand of the masses. Except when i get a whim to change it. ;)

i guess im just lame,my name is brandon olarte so i just put brandon O for short.

Well lets see I"m a computer nerd I work with both Macintosh and Windows (much prefer the Mac's) And that spiffy G5 in my avatar I have one of those too :P plus a XP box and various other half assembled computers lying around all over the damn place.

I'm such a bundle of creative fun, that when I joined I had to make my username match my real name. I know, I know, you're all jealous of my creativity, but tough. :P

As for my avatar, I was looking for snake pics on google, and came across a cool looking pic. So I went into photoshop and spiced it up a bit. Must've done well because I've heard a few compliments on it. :)

I chose the name diverdown because i like to GO DOWN and look at the fish........ :oops: hey what are you thinkin :twisted:
but really , i enjoy diving.
Ihavent found a cool avatar yet...still looking

DiverDown .. see i thought you liked Van Halen ;)

Hey Podo, I know the drummer of A Perfect Circle (Josh). His brother and my boyfriend are very good friends. I've actually only seen A Perfect Circle once and that's because they were opening for NIN. We go see Josh more when he's playing with The Vandals, another band he's in.

My boyfriend also went to high school with someone from Kottonmouth Kings, but I'm not sure who. I never met him.

And I met Bradley Nowell from Sublime before he died.

Actually I've met a lot of people from bands, my boyfriends played in a bunch of bands, so you just tend to meet and hang out with a lot of musicians.

As for my username, my full name is Genevieve, but nobody calls me that. Everyone calls me Genna, but on message boards I go by gen for short.
