    My face is sambuchaquila


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    I would, but only if I was famous for inventing something, so that on the news it would read "The Bollox, a native Irish man, has invented the first..."

    what? so I have a strange sense of humour


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    not really,

    i wouldn't like this to happen either cause you'd have 100million+ neo's around the place.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭MooseJam

    colour me intrigued


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,179 ✭✭✭FunkZ


    I'd be happy being called Lazy Westlake...

    Actually call me that please!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,930 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭MooseJam

    Bingo, yatzeee... our survey says.... XBOX GAMER!!!!! DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!!!!

    :p

    its easy to tell, only an xbox gamer would call themselfs something like that.

    lol ok, i thought it was a very unique handle which could never have been narrowed down to xbox gamer ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,930 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster


    hehe, so many things called demon slayer - the 5 changes it up a bit, however i've mostly seen it in console gamers who think it makes them leet :p

    hmm.. i can see a 'how did you get your nick' thread coming..


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,657 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    Totally. I think it'd be cool to be called Faith. In fact, my nickname is inspired by Faith from Buffy tVS.

    Hmmm, might be interesting alright. ó_O


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,930 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster


    could get rather funny though... par examplé

    "Where'd faith go to?"
    "Without faith this is hopeless.."
    etc etc, double entendre ftw :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 990 ✭✭✭galactus


    the real test is: "challengemaster do you take this to be your lawful wedded wife/daemon/comsole"...."

  • Registered Users Posts: 413 ✭✭Marathon Man


    There is no way I could go by my online name. People would laugh at me. Despite my name I've never ran a marathon, I weigh 25 stone and live in my moms basement only emerging once a year to have the fungus scraped out of my many folds of flab. :D

    My mam is gonna kick me out: (in the immortal words of DONKEY) can i live with you?

    PS What is calorific value of that flabby fungus? Don't want to see it go to waste

    Your welcome to stay at the Marathon household anytime as long as you kill the weird hobo that lives under my bed. He scares the sh!t out of me. Oh wait thats my dad. Still, kill him and a platter of protein enriched fungus shall be your reward.
    Calorific value? I sell that sh!t to NASA so it must be good. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,029 ✭✭✭HammerHeadGym


    I do, every time I get in the ring. :D

    Roffle, I admit to giggling whenever I read something on here like "Have faith".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Sure, Steve Biko is a hero of mine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭humbert


    Dunno, quite like the name but I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed school.

    emmmmmm...ok yeah !


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭Kojak


    I'm not really sure would I prefer my RL name or my boards name :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,437 ✭✭✭Crucifix


    I don't really like my handle...but then again I don't really like my real name.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    yeah I think it'd work. :)

    contrary to popular belief my name isn't actually Joe. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 653 ✭✭✭little miss


    Think I'd stick with my real name. The older I get, the less appropriate little miss seems...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Well.. my handle is my name / nickname.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    I think it might work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,270 ✭✭✭singingstranger


    People already call me SS in Real Life™ so I'd survive pretty well...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 249 ✭✭Hypnotoad


    I don't think it would work for me.
    Maybe Max Power.

    I see what you did there, you created scenarios where the nickname "faith" and the actual meaning of the word faith may be interchanged, creating the humourous situation where a senntence may have two meanings


    Thats very funny.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,368 ✭✭✭thelordofcheese


    But of course, who wouldn't want to be the lord of the tastiest of dairy products?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 497 ✭✭FranchisePlayer


    I dunno now Franchie player has a sort of american ring to it and I detest americans from the ones I have met but my my real name is quite uncommon so I'll stick with it:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭Dooom


    I'd have to get a PhD, but yeah.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    Depending on groups of people I'm called boston. Even when that wasn't my nick for years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    I don't think it would work somehow....

    Huh? Whips out passport and looks... Oh, it doesn't say Blue Lagoon. Well, I have lots of names people call me (sometimes even the B-word when I say "no!"). Ha!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn
