in principio creavit Deus caelum et terram terra autem erat inanis et vacua et tenebrae super faciem abyssi et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas
…I guess anyone can translate that if they know what “Deus”/”Dei” and “principio” mean. ^_^
(Yes, I am cheating again. This time I’m using Vulgate.)

@ ILikatheBoys: I already have the mild schizophrenia down, and I can alter my spelling habits when the situation requires. That said, outside the roleplay thread, I have a strict policy against using anything other than my own name. So you’ve got my word as an honorable piece of human garbage that it ain’t me.
Unless you already solved the mystery, in which case don’t even bother reading this part.

Mine is the result of complete lack of originality, if it wasn’t already obvious. An old friend of mine had the username ‘Nic64.’ His name was Nick. Mine is David. GUESS WHAT THE NEXT NINTENDO SYSTEM WAS.

@ILB: This is with no help
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, however the earth was desolate(maybe) and empty and the spirit of God was bearing itself above the face(not sure) of the shadow of the abyss and above the water
I probably messed up Genesis quite a bit…

Hmmm… You could be right, Icky Iggy. I’m not sure if I ever had a burrito to begin with…

Are you going crazy Ninja? Join the club!

Why would you think I was going crazy? I just can’t find my burrito, that’s all.
Comment ID #31322
Because you don’t even know if you had it to begin with…

It was a LOOONG time ago. And I had many more important things to think about at the time, like avoiding the security drones patrolling the grounds of Bill Gates’ Mansion.

I chose Pronkat as a joke. It was April’s Fools and the infamous “Hentai” section in BCB inspired the name. After that I chose to keep it. I changed it to Pronnosaurus Rex for a bit after it was suggested. But I don’t know, which one do people prefer?
Comment ID #31505
@Pronkat: Pronkat, makes you sound less ancient and extinct.
@:Graham: Bacon’s Rebellion or Rebellious Bacon
Comment ID #31510
I had Star wars in my head and was putting Bacon in the names:
The Bacon Menace
Attack of the Bacon
Revenge of the Bacon
A New Bacon
The Bacon Strikes Back
Return of the Bacon
So hence my new name

Yeesh. Interesting thread. Almost surprised that it has had so many responses so soon. Almost.
So, “Who” is a truncated version of my standard handle. I do not care to share the full version, but I’m sure that if anyone had the inclination, for some reason, it would not be too hard to figure it out. This is the Internet, after all.
Anyway, the origins go back to StarCraft. When I first started playing multiplayer, I think I had some handle like “DarkForce” or something of the like. Unfortunately, I sucked, and I quickly decided that having a menacing nickname and such poor skill was kind of stupid, so I came up with something that was a bit more goofy. In my mind, it was short for “Who Is This Loser?” It is also slightly anonymous, but not very.

Aww. I had hoped it had something to do with ’70s British rock… Still, I like it. Gives me numerous associations with no relation to music.

By the way, I think we should equip all the threads here with a “RANDOM” tag. We never manage to stay on topic.

Tee hee ^_^
At least you have a meaningful range of options if you want to lengthen your name. “World Health Organisation” is far better than “Inside Live Bears”.
Comment ID #31531
My first favorite thing? I have not yet decided. o_o I’m not very good at picking favorites. It’s not cats, though (or dogs).
“Who” is actually short for something else, rather than an acronym, but I suppose there are many possibilities. “When Horsecrabs Orchestrate.” “Witch Hat Organization,” in which I betray my country of origin. “Wanton Habitual Originality.” Yeah, sure.
Or, for you, perhaps “Intrepid Lion Betrayer.” Not that you would ever betray lions, of course.

Oh, I didn’t say that “Who” was an acronym. I just said that your name would be better off as an acronym than “ILB” is.
I rather like your suggestion, though. ^_^
