Explain your user name

[Styromaniac]

My username is nothing more than a good rhyme for "pyromaniac". If you want a definition, then look up "styrene" and add it to the root meaning of any obsessive disorder. Hoila!

[dharnia]

Thanks Karl

[stigomaster]

My name is really nothing but a play on my own name, Stig. I must have been around eleven or something when I first used it, and since then I have used it everywhere on the Internet... Except for my blog, where my username is Sostotigog. If you want to, you can pretend it is an Irish twist, (Stig O'Master) but I'm from Norway, so it is really not.

[daffodil]

 
My username is one I chose long ago for use on Lord of the Rings websites. I love LOTR (the book, much more than the movies-I'm one of those silly purists!), and my favorite flower is the daffodil....so, since I also like the Hobbits (including Frodo and Bilbo) in LOTR, it just made sense to put it all together!

(For my Redbubble account, I finally chose a different username, autumngirl......I just really love Autumn!)

[WallyWallWhackr]

  I originally used mine in Armagetron, a Tron Light Cycle game.
http://www.armagetronad.net/
  It also uses the letters WWW, which associates with the World Wide Web.
Which has no bearing on anything...  either, which fits perfectly with "CHAOS". 

[Bent-Winged Angel]

Bent-Winged Angel  Means that I'm "bent" in more ways than one.  Although not broken!

[Sockratease]

Mine has some obvious connotations - blame that Danged Philosophy Degree!

It also has some less obvious connotations to those of us with particularly twisted minds   

I almost chose Playtoe, but ultimately went with the Teacher instead of the Pupil, partly because I just like The Socratic Method better than anything Plato claimed as his own ideas, and partly because there is no direct evidence Socrates ever existed outside the writings and imaginations of Plato.

I like the idea of a fictional character being considered one of the greatest thinkers of all time!

[makc]

my real name, in cyrillic

[fracmonk]

I chose fracmonk (in haste) because I work on a standalone, usually with fractint, and use library for very limited internet access.  Not in academia, I'm kinda isolated.  I've been at it since mid 90's when it seemed imperative to write your own generators with BASIC.  Took awhile to figure how to register, log on, and post in these circumstances.  Due to seasonal work, summer access for me will be very sporadic, but I'll do my best to keep in touch.  Have done very interesting stuff you have not seen yet. I know, since I have not been able to search out its likes anywhere, either.

[teamfresh]

I am just one half of teamfresh. Olya and I came up with it once during a late night session and it grew and grew. We are a team - we are fresh! - teamfresh!

[Nahee_Enterprises]

Mine is quite easy, it is the name of my company which I started back in the summer of 1969.  It is the name I also use for my Domain Name and web space.

But even though my middle name begins with the letter "N", the word "Nahee" is not even close to what my middle name really is.  In fact, the word "nahee" is just a spelling in English to represent the sound of a Siamese word (Thailand).  Pronunciation:  that is not a long "a", but a short "a" sound, as in NAH-hee.

It is very surprising how my real name is within the signature of every posting, but people here call me "Nahee".  Guess they can not read that far down within each posting.      
 

[Thunderwave]

I'm obsessed with sound,  crashing sound.  I love thunderstorms and lightning. A lightning wave could make sense as a light wave fractal, but thunder wave makes more sense for music and I love music in a story sense of pure sound organized in time, which does not exist, so therefore my music is a waste of time. LMFAO!!!  ROFL!!!! 

[Lee Oliver]

Toad is [one of] my favorite x-men characters, Beast being the first.  However, I cannot compare myself to Beast, his greatness surpasses my own.  I also sort of look like Toad
