have any of you wondered why applenut is really apple nut, or why Murbot is Murbot? I sure have, and lost plenty of sleep over it. So why are you who you say you are?



I personally Like Flick Justice, Used it often to play online games like Medal of Honor and the like. My Grandpa used to flick us as kids when we were bad cause he, being a good christian man, didn't feel slapping us, though many times we deserved much worse, was wrong. We called it Flick justice.. there.. now you are?

flick.

    I have no idea where the EmAn thing came from. It started with my old AOL screen name, my first one back in '98 I think... it was like EMAN 387 or something like that then when I made my current screen name I kept it and then pretty much everything online I'm known as EmAn. I don't really like it, but I'm not gunna change everything.

    Nebagakid - camp nebagamon



    INTERESTING THING: In the the classic map panel, if you would type "lake" you would get Lake Nebagamon. In the main office of camp nebagamon, there is a signed system 7.5 cd..........

    I slowly awoke one afternoon in late December a few years ago, in a puddle of vomit, head pounding like nothing I'd ever felt before. Another night of binge drinking, drugs, and women. I knew it had to stop.



    Mindlessly channel surfing, wearing nothing but urine soaked boxers and a five o'clock shadow, I stumbled across something amazing. The story of Mary and Joseph. I felt as though I could turn my life around. I almost watched the entire thing before passing out again.



    12 hours later I'm dragging my feet through a dark alley looking for my guy. He's usually by the dumpster. While attempting to place my order, I had a flashback to that show. To the 3 wisemen. I quickly changed gears.



    "Make that a fifth of mihr."



    "Mihr?"



    "Yeah, problem with that?"



    "No, uh, here you go."



    I went home with my little bag of mihr and hammered it down. Unfortunately it wasn't mihr. It was crystal meth. The strong stuff. I didn't realize this for some time though.



    I didn't sleep for 9 days. I was a machine. I did things you can't imagine. I was like a robot, man. A robot on mihr. A mihrbot.



    Unfortunately mihrbot was like always taken at forums and for free email, etc, so I had to go with murbot. It's just kind of stuck since then.

    I grewup with Saturday Night Live and StarTrek.

    Guess who my favorite characters were?



    It just seemed to fit...

    I wanted something related to the computer but not too related.



    asterisk (perfect but too direct)



    --&gt;asterex (good but still not that early 90's hacker feel)



    --&gt;ast3r3x (perfect)



    ...murbot...that was the best story EVER!

    My name was Anders.



    Then two month ago I had to fight the dragon and in doing so I lost my case here at AI but was given another one with one badass beating stick. They were white. Hence the name.

    Originally I was Macintosh...precisely because I wanted to try and register that, just hoping that nobody had done so on an Apple Computer themed message board. I dont think it really needs to be explained, its just an awesome name.



    I took Mr. Macintosh when I was allowed back. I am grown up a little bit if you cant tell.

    Amorph is a short version of a nick I've had for years. In 1983 I fired up my brand new Apple //c with the switchable 300/600/1200 modem, and I signed on to a BBS run by the University of Massachusetts. Everyone had a pseudonym, and I was a strange 16 year old, so I called myself The Amorphous Mass. (For anyone wondering, I was rail-thin in high school, so that wasn't the inspiration. I honestly don't know where it came from.)



    Three years later, the student sysadmin at Reed College asked me to pick a login name that nobody else had. I contracted the name to 'amass' (pronounced 'AY-mass' ) and kept my old handle. I changed it to the less obscure 'amorph' after college, and I've kept it ever since.



    Why? Because it's absolute Hell coming up with a unique variant of 'James Robinson', and 'Amorph' is a lot shorter anyway. I've long since given up trying to use my real name for login ids and the like.

    Someone should make Comic book Heros out of all the High Profile Members of AI. I'd buy a copy.

    Amporh, Murbot, Brad. Like X-men, only more internet Savy.
