So... we do it all the time. Already like a little tradition. But we will have new members joining. And I don't think anyone will be moving topics except for those most informative ones. So... tell tell tell - why you chose this nickname? (I am particularly interested why Con changed his nickname. Finally got your zip done???)
cheekygal. Comes from a very long time ago, when I first came to China. Cheeky as in "tricky, cunning". Gal as in girl. People usually associate it with something else. Oh, well.

I love dragons, atatatatat
I collect dragons, atatatatat
I read books about dragons, atatatatat
Did I mention I like dragons??? atatatatat
ahahahahah agagagagag ahahahahah

Well, mine is pretty straight forward. I'm Traveling on my own, hense Lone Traveler.
Not very exciting.
-
That's what you think. It is both exciting and attractive. Now think why ahahahahah
-
Can't imagine what you mean Cheeks? uuuuuuuuuu

Bugalugs....Well is was a nickname given to me at TAFE (it's kinda like a college), my lecturer gave it to me and some how it stuck, please don't let it fool you though, im not as cute and sweet as the name suggests.
cbcbcbcbcb cbcbcbcbcb tttttttttt tttttttttt tttttttttt

Oh, that special prof eh? uuuuuuuuuu

another boring story...
I had applied for an account at the spoon using my usual nickname but for whatever reason, it never got activated.. I was a few days removed from coming to China and needed access so just applied for another one the same day FSU defeated UF in their season finale... just stuck with it.
Now, it's automatic... any new forum I go on, I use Nolefan.. haven't used "sixxdog" in ages
-
Ummm.... Sixxdog?
(maybe I shouldn't ask) mmmmmmmmmm

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 bibibibibi

I was once asked my name at a convention registration thing. Feeling frivolous (as you do)I made up a name. I still had my tag on when I got home, so all my housemates started calling me George. It has become a badge of Honour.....especially with the often used prefix,"The dreaded..."
-
In University I preferred to study at a pub rather than in the library. I often would be in there all day. Waitress worked split shifts and would come back and say 'You still here?' They started just calling me 'Still'. One of them wrote my name on a board for a football pool. Spelling wasn't her best attribute (although, she did have a pair of spectacular attributes) and she wrote STIL. Name stuck.
-
I'm not sure how I got this one,
somethin bout when I 1st regerestereded at the saloon, it didn't work, after sending Raoul, he sent me back an email saying what my user name & password are...
So I'm DaDan & stickin top it.... `here

My first ancestor to Canada in 1663 came in a boat called the Golden Eagle (L'Aigle Dor). Over the years, I have been given quite a few eagles as I was principal of a school where the sports teams were called the Eagles. My office was the Eagle's Nest, a name I also used for the monthly principal's newsletters (From the Eagle's Nest). Somehow, it just happened and I live with it. Eagle sounds so "violent" when I am really just a small and cuddly teddy bear type of person.

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 (http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0137502306). It's been "re-cutomized." bfbfbfbfbf

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. pppppppppp 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 afafafafaf
-
ahahahahah ahahahahah ahahahahah
Oh well agagagagag
-
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? agagagagag

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.
-
Ruth is a Biblical character I admire. She left her homeland in obedience to God's calling. I never joined a forum before planning my move to China. I aspire to be more like her, hence the adoption of her name.
And while we're at it - how about telling us why you chose your avatar? I chose mine just after I finished rereading the Narnia series. In those stories, for people who want to see the parallel, Aslan the lion is like Christ.
-
My avatar? When I first signed up here, Raoul offered me a couple of stock choices. I consulted Hubby and we agreed that the Bunny suited me best. Bunny is small (I'm 4'11"), cute (obvious) and cuddly (I love hugs). Voila!! The Bunny Hops Again...
-
I used to have Jackson Chameleons in Hawaii,
this one <---------- is a male, hence the outies on his face as apposed to innies
they were great pets that needed to be fed live insects daily ababababab
their tongues ware impressive.....
& the way they walk around acting like they are invisible is purdy coo too bfbfbfbfbf
& since the internet is such a place that a person can wear whatever skin they want, I thought it is an appropriate choice
-
I picked my avatar because I like it's sinister ambiguity...it kind of says "you don't REALLY know people you meet on the internet".
Funny story about my avatar.I have been applying for a lot of jobs lately.I received a reply from one employer that stated..."We received your documents well but your picture is fearful.You send wrong picture?"
Yup..turns out I sent my avatar photo as a resume picture. bibibibibi
-
ahahahahah
-
I picked my avatar because no one/nothing better reflects my nickname than me cheexyblonde
-
Mine is pretty boring. It's the way the Chinese translate my name but it's stuck and almost everyone calls me this now.
-
My Avatar??? Pretty darn obvious.
-
It's so I don't forget what I look like. bibibibibi
-
You said you don't own ACs! Mirrors either? cheexyblonde cheexyblonde cheexyblonde
-
Hey, Decurso, did you get the job? The prospective employer was right - fearful. I like your reasoning though, as well as DaDan's. Chameleons and masks.
I'm really curious about vegemite's new avatar. Freaks me out whenever I see it. Can't reconcile the avatar with the image I have of HER.
-
that's easy, she loves Bruce Willis
-
I do, I do - I 'love' ol' Brucie akakakakak
Last week on campus we were busy changing to a new building as well as changing to this new site - I was in a rush and couldn't be bothered hunting out my jar of vegemite so thought I'd use one of the ones that came with the site.
I will get back to me vegemite soon...but at the moment Brucie's cheering me up. It's nice to log in and have him peering back at me.... cheexyblonde
-
At first I thought it was infamous Terminator. But then the cheekbones were too small. cheexyblonde
-
Okay, I'm now a mature and wise 42 year-old so have got rid of Bruce Willis and have returned to my roots - Vegemite.
Why vegemite? 'Cos I love it...
-
Hmmm, I never quite found anything I really thought would do. The initial celtic knot was because I have that same tat; the recent "I am Canadian" was obvious. However, there have been a few posts where my name was abbreviated to KC...hence the Sunshine Band. I think I might stick with this one. bfbfbfbfbf
-
And a fine choice it is KC. bfbfbfbfbf
-
Hey, Decurso, did you get the job?
Actually I did!Turned it down because the contract reeked of evil...which may explain why they were desperate enough to offer it to somebody who sent a picture of Jason Voorhees as their resume photo.
-
Lotus Eater from the Odysseus myth, plus the poem. I also like eating lotus root and seeds. Love the flowers - the whole plant has nice mythology in Chinese. He (my Chinese surname) with a different character also means Lotus.
This avatar - was in a hurry, couldn't find my old one, and so found these lovely cats eyes. Although they are supposed to blink and aren't. alalalalal After horses I am basically a cat person.
After a few months of the same avatar I get bored. So I'll probably change again - especially if I find something that moves.
-
My avatar and the name of it symbolizes my two favourite genres. SF and Comedy. Have won awards for writings in both categories, nationally and locally. It shows my sophistication (MAD magazine) and my erudition (von Neumann machines).
And my split personality too.
-
bkbkbkbkbk and so the man speaks out!
-
Which one though Cheeks ???
-
The N man!
-
Oh, sorry, the name of my avatar is Alfred von Neumann, a mutant cyborg version of Alfred E Newman, the logo of MAD magazine.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lono)
In Hawaiian mythology, Lono is a fertility and music god who descended to Earth on a rainbow to marry Laka.
The question is, who on this forum would like to be my Laka?
-
I thought you already had one Laka. She approves of you having more than one??
-
Well, I figure there's room for a real life Laka and a forum Laka... no?
-
With a mix like that you're liable to end up in the kaka!
-
(http://www.novareinna.com/bridge/laikalogo.jpg)
LAKA???? Who wants to be my LAIKA? zzzzzzzzzz
(http://www.silverdalen.se/stamps/bild/mongolia/mo82_laika_01u.jpg)
-
Does she get to have a forum Lono? Not forgetting that you could end up spending a lot of time here!!
-
I don't object to a little harmless flirtation... I trust her.
-
Moon, you leave that poor dog alone!!!!!! aoaoaoaoao
-
BamBam, the Kachina sounds like the more popularly known "Kokopelli".
-
Ummm bambam is kokopelli?
-
Well, my nickname is from role-playing game. I like Fantasy role-playing games. Ome of my first characters, an elve, I called him Belrain. So, in internet I use this name, too.
My avatar is something I will change soon. Normally, I have a dragon. But there is already a dragon here, so I think I will change it randomly, using pictures from my travelling through China. Maybe, the next one will be HongKong skyline at night.
-
You could change your nickname to "Aholi" (another Kachina), just cause it sounds funny... plus he was noted for being handsome, so that's always a plus.
-
bibibibibi BAM BAM IS KOKOPELLI? I THOUGHT LONO TIKI IS KOKOPELLI????? bibibibibi
whoever! i miss chatting with u KOKO! agagagagag glad u're back!
-
Hey! Who is flirting with that Laika? She's a real dog!!
-
Ummmm oh well. Who is who isn't really the question.
-
There was someone called Kokopelli,but for the life of me, I can't remember where. A search of the greasy spoon showed no results.
-
Yeah there was a guy using the name Kokopelli. He's on the spoon as Tezcatlipoca. Young guy recently married to a Chinese girl in Guangzhou. He left here in a bit of a snit because he didn't like the moderation. He liked to aurgue in a bit of caustic way and he seems to feel more comfortable on the spoon.
-
Oh yeah....He was also Rylees. Arrogant little prick!
-
Yeah, that's him
-
Oh boy! I was confused... but now I'm sorted out. Cheers! agagagagag
-
oh wait.... nope. Still a little confused. amamamamam Oh well. Never mind.
-
So... you feel normal eh LT?
-
ararararar
-
Careful Stil, or I'll revoke your "staring at the hostess in her Qipao" privillages.
-
Careful Stil, or I'll revoke your "staring at the hostess in her Qipao" privillages.
Man, that's harsh.
We're still cool, right?
(Yeah, just go ahead and ignore the camera...)
-
Careful Stil, or I'll revoke your "staring at the hostess in her Qipao" privillages.
Err..what's a Qipao?
-
Remember LT, I spend a lot of time under the tables. I've seen plenty. afafafafaf
I must say, I do like how you coordinate the colours of your neikuzi with the different qipiao. bfbfbfbfbf
-

The colours of her what with her what?? ararararar I have no idea what that means but it is dirty and naughty and..and...other words ending in -y. I am just going to buy another round and stare at LT until I figure out what this qipao nonsense is all about.
-
She is all kinds of easy on the eyes, isn't she?
-
Indeed. What did Etheredge say about beauty... mmmmmmmmmm...
Sweetest bud of beauty, may
No untimely frost decay
Th' early glories which we trace
Blooming in thy matchless face:
But kindly opening, like the rose,
Fresh beauties every day disclose,
Such as by Nature are not shown
In all the blossoms she has blown:
And then, what conquest shall you make,
Who hearts already daily take!
Scorch'd in the morning with thy beams,
How shall we bear those sad extremes
Which must attend thy threat'ning eyes
When thou shalt to thy noon arise?
Now, back to the staring. If I discover what table Stil is under, I'll kick him until he tells me what all those naughty things meant.
-
It's that table there.....
-
... and Stil you leave my neikuzi out of this. asasasasas
-
Eric, nei is inside kuzi is trousers/pants. Qipiao is a Chinese dress. The one LT wears for greating new patrons of the saloon has a very looooong slit up the side to her hip.
Now, stop kicking me.
-
Did he wear the steel capped boots like I told him to Stil? uuuuuuuuuu

Right...that's..err...need to have a lie down, in a bathtub...filled with ice cubes...no wonder we're getting so many new members.
-
LT's qipao looks like this:

-
Did he wear the steel capped boots like I told him to Stil? uuuuuuuuuu
Yeah he did but only kicked me in the head. No damage done.
-
Just need to add a little more filling in the upper section and that's it. axaxaxaxax
-
Oh, I remember those! I called them Fuyuan dresses because they were always being worn by the lines of girls greeting you when entered a restaurant. That's what LT is wearing?? More ice cubes...lots more ice cubes...and yes, I did wear the steel toed boots.
-

Restaurant eh Eric. Suuure! ;)
-

Whipped cream?
-
That would just ruin my qipao!!!
-

Dear Miss Aussie Greeter Lady,
Please let me be your cbcbcbcbcb.
Sincerely,
Lono Tiki
-
Besides, I've already done my stint with the whipped cream, when I first took on Barfly status and had the table top dancing initiation. I belive I introduced the whipped cream.
-
It certainly looked like a restaurant...though I never actually saw any food. Are you implying that I went to a house of ill repute? That those ladies were scarlet ladies? That I set foot in a vice-ridden den of debauchery the likes of which would have made even Swinburne and Rochester blush? And I left because they did not serve Peking Duck... bibibibibi bibibibibi
-
If the shoe fits Red? afafafafaf
-
What, your shoe? I think that whatever footwear does protect your dainty feet would be ruined were I to try to wear them. I'll gladly drink champagne from it though...I believe that used to be a custom..
afafafafaf
-
Dude it's 35C. Hard to drink champagne from a sandal.
-
Dude, I'm in Denmark. It's 15 degrees and cloudy outside. Besides, I am sure LT has more than one pair of shoes. agagagagag
-
Ooh Does she ever! afafafafaf
-
both the spoon and the here-before
-

hi stil and george.
i really didnt know what happened with kokopelli back at the old saloon but he was also a good friend of mine..i feel closer to him (and george and TP back then until now though) and i enjoyed chatting with him. bfbfbfbfbf he is still a friend...
-
That's great Solo. I've never met him, maybe a great guy. Don't know.
-
Yeah, we don't mind if you like him. I hope you don't mind if we don't like him! agagagagag
