How did you get your user name?
I think this might be fun to know. Why did you pick the username you have here.  I know about Steaks, and ToT's, but I sure would like to know how the hell do people think of names like... well, most of you here.

So... let's begin!

How did you get your user name?
I didn't have any particular reason myself... about 7-8 years back I wanted to go chatting in KissFM's Chat city (only god knows why) and I needed a nick. Gortef just popped into my mind... quite quickly in fact... and I have used it ever since :)
Habeeb it...

Got it from a game called Blood&Magic (I think) many many years ago... don't know why did I take it, but I did. There was some guy called Redfang the Reaper in that very good game, but I dropped the reaper away after well, don't remember when.

Hm my nick. Well if any of you remember the show called Swat Kats, in it there is one cool guy/kat called Razor and he kicked ass, had a a good sence of humor and well when I went to VBB, I wanted to use the nick Razor but someone took it allready :mad2: so I tryed Razor_blade. I used it till the VBB was closed.  About a year ago, I came to HLP and I used a nick razor_blade for some time but I didn't visit the forums that much. When VBB became soo boring I came back here and signed up as Razor. The nick wasn't taken before :yes: so I settled with it and I am quite happy with this one. It's way better than Razor_blade. Short, crystal clear and cool. ;)

Just joking.:p

Anyway, I got my name from a WinAmp skin really. The inspiration came from its skin name. I've been using it for like almost 5 years now.:D

I'm named after Palpatine in the Star Wars series. Trouble is, the word 'palpitate' means to throb or pulse :eek: so I decided against it, and went for GalacticEmperor instead. Been using it for, oh, about a year now. I think I'll change it soon, though; it's a pain to give out orally.

Mine popped into my head the first time I had to think of one (that was the quake2 area on the M$ gamezone whatsis)

I actually thought about it sometime later and noticed it was also a kind of anagram of my surname - so it all fits rather nicely.

LOL!!! :lol: :lol: ****ing :lol:

never mind. Situation comedy.

Oh, and about mine. My old user account in hotmail got so devoured with spam, so I needed a new one. I was think of [email protected], but that was taken. So was [email protected]. So I figured, hey, I'll turn it around. And whaddaya know, no one had taken [email protected]

So now, I'm using it.

aah, Swat Kats. That was a good show. Too bad they only had one season of it (or at least, I've never heard of more. :( )

F-4U Corsair. One of the two coolest planes from World War II.

The other one would be the P-38 Lightning, but I thought that would sound a little messed up since we already had Thunder. ;)
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.
