Same old "What's in the name?"

Erik the Red was a Viking with red hair who liked to travel, encounter new cultures and then pillage and plunder them.

I live in the land of Vikings and have red hair. I failed my GCSE in pillaging and plundering. Got thrown out of the longboat for having pink glasses

sorry, hon, first time i read your nickname, i was wondering why someone would name himself "erected"                                                                                                   

LT, you know you know 

Bugs, don't make Stil cry himself to sleep

Naughty...but a valid question....

Hmm I've never associated "violent" with you Eagle. Maybe I need to reasses???

Funny, I thought most of us did this in our introductions.... so, from my boring introduction

....
My name is teleplayer. Yes I can and yes I do and it originally looked just like this one
http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0137502306. It's been "re-cutomized."

I am particularly interested why Con changed his nickname. Finally got your zip done?

No, in fact, since I've quit smoking I've packed on some weight, and that fly just, well, flies open.   It was the apostrophe- punctuation is a pain, and I like a streamlined login process. 

Con Ate Dog is my handle most other places.  Maybe I'll change my "last name" every month.

Maybe I'll change my "last name" every month.

So next month you'll be "Con ate cat"??

No.  It will be "Con Trary"!  Or "Con Tradict", or "Con Fuse", or even "Con Fucius".

or even "Con Fucius".

Hah! Never be CONfucius! Maybe CONfuse us.

If i remember it was something like MissY 

 
Oh well 

YeahMine came about years ago at Uni when a friend and I were playing a silly computer game called Alphaman. We used to have competitions about who could make up the silliest names for our characters. My favourite of his was 'Oscil lating Cott age'. I thought contemporarydog was the best of mine, though, and I kept using it for internet forums afterwards...

Mine is simple. I am not Dave Sperling. I never have been. I don't know him.  I don't work for him. Apparently just sharing the same first name is enough to bring down the gods of wrath. There's also many other things I'm not.

Hence, non-dave.

Is your name a reference to mine, or just a spooky coincidence? 

Cut and pasted from the Alamo...

In another life I ran a website for trading boxing,werstling and mixed martial arts videos.At the time it seemed as though all tape traders were naming their sites after their favourite performer...i.e."Mike Tysons boxing tapes","Hulk Hogans wrestling tapes" ect.I named my site a fictional character..."Mad Dog" Joe DeCurso who was the subject the mockumentary "Grunt!The Wrestling Movie."

As I became involved in various web forums I used the name Decurso so people who I had done tape trades with would recognize me if we happened to cross paths elsewhere.My tape traing days are long over but using "Decurso" as an online name has just become a habbit.
