what does your boards name mean

Mr. CooL ICE

I am a descendant of Timur The Lame, in turn a descendant of Genghis Khan. One of the hundreds of women he impregnated through various rapin' and pillagin' trips across Eurasia, Helena Kejisifar, gave birth to Heni Kejisifar in 1375. He was very fond of mathematics and invented an early form of calculus on an abacus unlike his brother, Khina, who aspired to be a military leader but ended up working a cotton farm for the rest of his life. Heni crosses the continent in search of like-minded mathematicians and scholars, and settled in what is modern day Normandy. Here he settled, forgot about whatever heritage he had, and started a family with a local French-Flanderan woman called Wallouis. However, a last-ditch Anglo-Norman raid ended up in the death of both Heni and Wallouis (his calculus notes were buried in earth and found by a holiday-goer named Isaac Newton who used them as his own). Despite the raiders being pushed back to sea, one of the raiders, John Ington, took Heni's two sons and daughter to raise as his own, as he felt guilty about being partly responsible for making them orphans.

Other families looked down on John and his wife, Emily, for adopting three orphans and regarded them in the same light as bastard children, but Emily had 'failed to produce any children for John'. In 1435, Pierre, the eldest son, inherited the 7-hectare plot of land that the family had cultivated for generations and changed his name to reflect his biological parents. Taking The first half of his old surname, he combined it with his new name to become Pierre Kejisington. His relatively poor grasp of the traditional Cornish language and the as-of-yet-not-fully-understood Norman English meant that his name eventually became pronounced Cessington.

After some carefully planned inter-marrying of Pierre's sons and neighbouring farmers' daughters over the course of 12 generations, his heirs eventually considered themselves to have enough land and resources to 'rule all of England'. However, the current heir to the land, Henry, decided to form an army of peasants who worked his lands to conquer a whole corner of England. His attempts failed as he never realised that an untrained army of 500 peasants armed with pointy sticks could never possibly make a dent on the existing Dukes personal guard of 100 knights and army of 3000 swordsmen. After the bloody defeat of 1651, somewhere near some random castle of wherever, Henry fled to Ireland, but went the wrong way and ended up seeking refuge in what is now Mayo. Here, he realised he would be extremely unwelcome unless he was Irish, so coined a well-known term after accidentally releasing wind which sounded like a cavernous "begorrah", followed by "jaysus". He also changed his name to be Patrick Lynch, as Henry Cessington was too English-sounding.

He settled and worked as a local farm-help, and for the next three generations, the first son was always named Patrick Lynch. In 1715, the last of this line of Patrick Lynches was born. However, upon rape allegations, he migrated to Bilbao, Spain and then on to Argentina, where he settled, started a family, and future generations eventually resulted in the birth of Che Guevara. However, the Mayo woman who had accused Patrick of rape gave birth to a young Michael. He was deemed a bastard child and eventually ran away from home at the age of 14, taking with him the diaries of his father. He decided to adopt the name 'Lynch' and settled down and married in Galway. Here he had 2 sons and 4 daughters, whom he shared his own father's diaries. One of the sons, who refused to marry and had no interest in the opposite sex, eventually moved to London and set up an amusement park, naming it after his English ancestors, and adding in a 'h' to soften the pronunciation. The other son continued to work a normal working life and so did all subsequent generations.

So here I am, descendant of a fair share of great historic figures and equally unfair share of blatantly idiotic figures. I decided to name myself after the oldest one which sounds somewhat normal, as LordKejisifar didn't sound as good at the time of setting up a boards.ie account.

It still seems like that "Thaedydal" would be pronounced "They died all" it's just how it looks in my head or maybe "they Idol"? which "Thay id dal" would sound to me. sozz just how I see words.

I was setting up an account, sitting in an internet cafe and it hit me - I was in a bit of a conundrum as to what my username should be.

So I took that and added a bit of my own magic to it, and came up with connundrum. Classic.

Ah so you weren't watching Countdown while browsing then?

Pretty much the same reasoning, I just signed up to get some tech help and ending up staying. I usually use leimrod but decided to use the name L31mr0d for a change.

Its an amalgamation of my real first name and Nimrod, the name of the Greenday Album I was listening to at the time and a character that was also in the animated series of the X-Men.

Do they have a song of really dark music and a fella going "ooooh" on it over and over again like a soft chant. I heard it years ago, I think.
