[ChickenGuy]

My favourite animal is the chicken. I don't really know why I have such an affection for them.

Contrary to popular belief, I've never been a farmer, never lived on a farm, and apart from a year-long spell in 2004/05, never had any chickens. The avatar is from a random website. I've always lived in town.

 

[altlover85]

I love alternative music and was born in 1985. There's also the idea that my sexual taste is different from the norm (I like older men) and so there is that play on the altlover part of the name.

Cool thread!

 

[gsdx]

Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister

"But - there - are - no - patients!!"

Love those programmes. (And the hospital episode has to be one of my all-time favourites.)

 

[Gussss]

Several years ago I workd with a guy whose wife was pregnant. One day we were talking and I asked him what were they going to name the baby if he were a boy. He told me "Gus, because there just aren't enough Gus's in the world". I only frequent 6 message boards, but I'm Gus on all of them.

Oh, I had to add the extra sss to meet the length requirement.

 

[evanrick]

whatever, i know 2 gusses and NO evans.

anyways, mine is sorta my first and middle name together, it was a nickname someone gave me.

 

[soulseeker]

Jake is my favourite name and the one I wish I had (despite the fact I don't think it'd suit me lol), and as I've lived and worked overseas a fair bit, that's the jetset part.

You never told us the story behind your username, Soulseeker...

[theworldwithout]

The World Without; It's the name of a short story by Steven Utley.

It's been so long now since I've read it that I can't even remember what the story is about.

 

[fetaby]

No particular meaning. After the matrix came out and everyone and their grandmother was rushing to get Neoevangicon87 as their screen name, I was signing up where ever and became fed up with *that username has already been taken*

So I keyed in a consonant, vowel, consonant, vowel, consonant, vowel until something clicked.
