My mates most of the time greet me as "JoshyBoy!", and I have been called that for many years now, so hence my username.

Vode means brothers (singular vod), and an means all.

This is the true language (mando'a, of course).

Before any of u can respond negatively, here is one for the international mods- u are osik. Usen'ye.

SevenDeuceOffsuit is my usual username. It wouldn't fit, I think there's a 15 character limit.

1) I play poker "professionally." (It's my part time job with school).
2) I procrastinate in school because I am too busy playing poker.

Finally, I replace 'ate' in procrastinATEr with an 8 to increase the legitimacy of it being a username.
Thats cool so how do you play poker for school, how does that work?

I study physics and in order to pay for my tuition I play poker and withdraw usually around 160$ / week. Meager but it's good enough to buy the weekend beer.

If you pronounce 'Chang' though gritted teeth whilst holding your nose it sounds rather like the Eskimo word for 'unbelievably huge polar bear who wants to eat my face off'. Strangely if you write 'Sha' left handed, upside down with a brick, it quite remarkably resembles the ancient scrawl of the Germanic tribes of central europe's (around 2,000 B.C) word for 'great snake spitting milk in her face'.

I chose 'Mr' 'cause I'm a chap, obviously.

I'm Greek. In college, one of my friends used to tell people "He's The Greek, dawg." You'd have to ask him.

there is some hilarious reasons for usernames out there

Windparson · Post by **Windparson** » Mon Nov 02, 2009 5:01 pm

A friend came up with mine as I used to use an abbreviation of my real name. Hbest. Yes, my last name is really Best.

So, I am a trained NOAA Weather Spotter, so that's the "Wind" part, and "Parson" I am also a Baptist Laypastor. (I fill in for pastors that are sick, vacation or churches that are in between pastors), so, Windparson.

We thought about Windcleric, but well, just didn't like it.

I am not joking when I say all this time i thought your username was thegreekgod... I even did a search to make sure there wasnt one with the same avatar before posting.

stahrgazer · Post by **stahrgazer** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 8:11 am

A friend gave me the name on an AFJROTC field trip in High School. It fit, since I was into aerospace and science fiction. The unusual spelling was to make it unique and to spell it like my mom said it (thick Mississippi draaaahhhhhl). It's been my nick since; though I often shorten it to stahr.

As I recently found out, there is a family with surname Stahr on the net; one of the sisters is Gay Stahr, and her handle is stahrgayzer - it's not me. They did invite me to Thanksgiving by accident, though

I'm pretty egotistical, but not that egotistical. Although, I have referred to myself as Adonis.

Many years ago when my friends and I played StarCraft, and after Brood Wars came out we all became fans of the lurker...

Therefore, we all remade user names to lurker______ , I just chose leader to one up them

This highlights an interesting point---often accidental reading (and often pronunciation) of usernames. But perhaps that's a topic for another topic!
