  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,233 ✭✭✭Dont Ban Me


    Mine is just simple asking not to be banned!!

    When I first came to boards I was bad and got banned on my very first post, twice so I just started to realise what I couldnt say and thus the name, so far so good!! :D

    Had a goldfish once, that got sick and turned silver. It came from leaving a note for my flatmate to feed the silverfish.


    Eh, its actually not after those small, wingless parasites that live in houses, even though I am, in fact, a small wingless parasite that lives in a house.

    Pvt. Snowball from "Full Metal Jacket". Thats how I got mine.
    There was a kinda Full Metal Jacket theme going on a RDF camp (years ago) when I got my nick.
    lol, this got me thinking, my nick is 8 years old. omg :D

    P.S: Although for all u dirty perv's... I do know someone who lives in Dublin (and some of the boards crowd know) who also was nick named Snowball but for... "other" reasons ;);)

    Mine comes from just being generally angry. Not all the time, but I seem to come out with unusually psychotic statements now and again. In between, I'm a pacifist though.

    For example, one time myself and my friends were sitting in the DKIT canteen. For the past few days, people had been stealing our seats while we were up getting food, but on this particular day, we'd been lucky. Anyway, nobody had talked for about 10 minutes - we'd all been busy eating. It began to become obvious though, and one of my mates said "What's everyone been thinking about for the last 10 minutes?". The other guys said something fairly normal, but when it came to me, I said "I wonder how threatening it would be to go up to someone who'd stolen your chair, wielding a plastic fork, and say 'Its a good job they don't give us metal cutlery in the canteen', in a very sinister way". People seemed to be very worried about that, for some reason. It was just an idle daydream...

    Anyway, that's where mr_angry came from. The 4 was just because mr_angry was already taken. It was probably me, and I'd just forgotten I'd registered already. Still, made me angry. Grrr...

    You are such a fag angry!!!

    I used to have a different name, then one day I realised that I was the king and I needed a new, more fitting one.

    So this name just came to me...all kingly like


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,446 ✭✭✭Havelock


    For those who have yet to read Discworld:

    The Patrician is the role of leader of the largest city on the Discworld, Ankh Morpork, and Lord Havelock Vetinari is the Patrician. In a democratic society of one man, one vote, he is that man and he has the vote.

    The Patrician looks after the city, making sure all the wheels run smoothly and applying whatever pressure is necessary. He is credited with introducing the Guilds into the city and these are probably the best example of the Patrician's approach to government. By legalising things such as assassination and theft, there is now a legal limit on the number of times a person can be robbed. Thieves even have to give a written receipt. Some of the more wealthy families in Ankh Morpork arrange to get mugged near the start of the year so they are then free to go about their business for the rest of it. The Guilds are self regulating and take a dim view of freelancers, who are often found floating (rather slowly) along the river.

    His pet hate, is mime artists. Anyone suspected of miming is hung upside down in the scorpion pit looking at a sign that says "Learn the words".
    "I shall deal with the matter momentarily," the Patrician said. It was a good word. It always made people hesitate. They were never quite sure whether he meant he'd deal with it now, or just deal with it briefly.

    I am a doctor.
    I am also a lunatic.

    I may be lying. There are other threads on this topic, which I haven't bothered to search for. My answer may have been different in said threads. Doesn't matter.

    Mine stems from two things. First is my curious ability to walk into all manner of unpleasantry in martial arts and effectively become a punch-bag.

    Second is from mountain bike downhill racing. Find the fastest way off the top of a hill, ie. cycle off the nearest cliff like a bloody lemming.

    Hence my username was born :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,468 ✭✭✭Evil Phil


    My name is Phil. I'm evil. Evil Phil.


    Back in my Quake days I was Ease n' Wheeze but Evil Phil is a nick name I've had for a long time, only adopting it online when i joined Boards. There are many stories about the where abouts of the Evil part told by various friends. My story involves an ex-girlfriend and is, I must admit, the best.

    Apparently I'm rather a sarcastic person. Can't really see why myself.

    My nick seemed snappy and descriptive.

    The real reason he is angry is that he is short and skinny... touchy subject....

    he cant even stab people with a real fork.. very boy george


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,312 ✭✭✭mr_angry


    Go back to Finland, you blonde, bald, stupid, arsehole, motherf*cking, anti-Irish fat mess. I hope you die a long lingering death that might involve you being force-fed some kind of plastic cutlery.

    Oh yeah. Jesus_Thats_Great loves trannys too!

    Go f*ck yourself. I hope I get banned.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,335 ✭✭✭Dr Bolouswki


    Comes indirectly from a Public enemy song 'Burn Hollywood Burn'... but indirectly like this...

    Back in the days when Gateway were realising that they were NOT a global force in the PC business, some tech support heads, to while away the time, started using black urban slang to punctuate their converstaion 'nayimsayin, namyimsayin' was de rigeur to punctuate our sentences (Do you know what I'm saying?) the correct response being ... 'sayin sayin' if you agreed or indeed, knew what they were saying... anyway, another was 'black c's back at the crib nayimsayin?' which comes from aforementioned song...

    Anyway... we took street names to tie in with our urban street attitude - seeing as my first initial is B I am....

    THE KILLAH

    B
