    "I wrapped you inside my coat
    When they came to fire upon the house
    I didn't feel pain
    Cause no one can touch me
    Now that i'm held in your smile
    A beautiful girl
    A beautiful girl
    Can turn your world into doubt
    Sell me a car that goes
    Sell me a house that stands
    Oh
    I never cared before
    I never cared before
    I never cared before
    Before
    Before
    Before
    A beautiful girl
    A beautiful girl
    Can turn your world into doubt
    A beautiful girl
    A beautiful girl
    Can turn you world into doubt
    Yeah
    I stood in front of her face
    When the first bullet
    Was shot"

    Bad times because it's an unrequited love. :(

    Yes I love good old-fashioned romance but i've become a heartbreaker unintentionally. I can't convince myself i'm in love with him..:confused:
    You don't need to convince yourself that you are in love with him, you need to convince yourself that love is not important! If you need inspiration look no further than the lovely Debbie McGee. She sacrificed a life of love for a life of sleeping with a dwarf who pretended he was magic. Forget about love charmer, embrace the dwarves.

    :eek:I'm really not a dwarf fan so please don't ask me to embrace them..

    Love has been and gone for me..
    I think being a lonely old woman with a house full of cats is on the cards for me! :rolleyes:

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,987 ✭✭✭ottostreet


    Back when Audiogalaxy existed, I needed a new username. I had a PC demo cd in front of me called... AutoStreet 2000 Lite. I named myself autostreet2002 (it was 2002). I then became autostreet when it became 2003. Then I became ottostreet when I signed up for different forums etc.

    I am now fully ottostreet, and will never ever change. Ever.

    A quick google tells Pighead all he needs to know about the story behind your username. http://www.captainamericas.com/

    The story goes something like this doesn't it:

    I like burgers and chips even though they make me tubby.

    I'm 19 now, when I was 15 or so I was playing a CD called 'From Here To Infirmary' by a band called Alkaline Trio basically every day. Private Eye was track one, best loud and through the headphones. Angry and young.

    I'd take Planxty any day now. Old man river.

    When the people of the city saw how I filled the scumbags' hearts with terror, they knew I was someone who was willing to make a difference....
    They knew I stood for justice.
    They knew they did not have to live in fear any more.
    They knew they were safe.

    And I knew that I had become........The Citizen.

    It started back in second year of college. One of the girls who lived next door came over to our house. She was off her tits on some drugs and was freaking out about something or other. Me being the kind caring gentleman that I am, I picked up a cushion, proclaimed it as her god and tried to get her to bow before it. I believe I said that I'd end her puny species existance if she didn't. She ran off and we didn't see her again for a couple of days.

    Later on that year I created a cult called cushiology (It was a piss take of scientology) and it's god was a solid gold cushion. I designed a website for a class project on it and luckily the lecturer seen the funny side of it. Started using almightycushion then as a username on some sites.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,271 ✭✭✭irish_bob


    i watched the movie THE UNFORGIVEN with CLINT EASTWOOD one night a few years back , charecther called english bob in it , immedietly afterwards i went online and came across BOARDS , tried to sign up as homer-simpson but obviously that name was taken the 1st night BOARDS went online so i just called myself irish bob as im irish and my nickname at school was bobby , an altogether entirely uninteresting back story i think you will agree

    It's the name of a traditional boat in the Phillipine's and 81, hmm not too sure, I was born in 88, so 81 I guess are just random numbers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 212 ✭✭niffle


    it was my nickname in school !!!!!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,182 ✭✭✭DenMan


    It was a nickname I got while living in the UK. My then Chinese gf and a few other pals gave it to me. They said I was helpful and considerate and added the first half of my name to it. (Denis)...as in Den the Man. Very thoughtful they were.

    And oh yeah it has nothing to do with the horse...even though a lot of people here think it is. :)
