From a book I really enjoyed. But I did have another name when I joined and changed it to this one after someone asked me if I was the xxxx on 419...

Never managed to get an avatar that I liked, hence...

^^^how do you go about changing your nick?

Lived in Wales all my life, but not Welsh speaking as is obvious from the below.

Was looking for a new name for a forum and used an online Welsh translator to come up with my nick. Trouble is I forgot what the original English was that I translated. The nick is three Welsh words "n'hench y faill".
It translates back as "the drenched heart" which doesn't make much sense.

Any Welsh speaking wizards are welcome to help.....

nhench

I picked the name probably because it wasn't taken yet.
My avatars are usually of my cats. The present one is named Molly Moo McGoo. Don't let her sweet looks fool you. This little 9 pounder kills everything living she can get her paws on outside, and brings them into my bedroom to finish them off. My tag was given to me because cats can't count, and nobody can do a number on me and get away with it. Smile

667jjk - Hmm, well, if you translate each of the letters in 'jjk' to the number in which they are positioned on the alphabet, you will have the last six numbers of my Telephone No. Or will you???

No, I'm afraid there's no logic in it - I just let my fingers sub-consciously pick the number/letter combination.

As for the avatar - I recalled how (the late) Michael Jackson wore mysterious and ninja-like veils and masks. I picked it as I thought it looked mysterious and ninja-like. It will hopefully change later down the line to a lad wearing a similar material (or a doctor's mask), if my ambitions can one day be achieved...

I just hope no one confuses my avatar pic with Harry Wink

^^Good one, GoldHat. Laughing

And a bit of trivia about GoldHat...He was the first baiter to openly admit that he had two sheds on his property (not that there is anything wrong with that), showed us pics, and puffed his chest out regarding them. Very Happy

In RL I live in a very lovely cubicle, with a beautiful vista of an alley and a dumpster (skiff). At least 10 times a day, someone comes by and looks into it for something to eat and or take. One day the bigwigs at work decided we should have catered food as a celebration. The food sucked. A co-worker commented, after looking out the window, seeing the dumpster, that he would rather have the bumsnacks our there, than the gruel that we were being served. Thus my name. I didn't know at the time of signing up that there was also a Tastysnacks. My apologies to Tasty. I can't use my usual forum name as it links to my real name. But it is very similar to my son's middle name which is the cherokee word for wolf.
My avatar is from the web. I was looking for a wolf avatar for a game I played and found that. I think it can speak volumes. Wolf eyes over looking over town on fire.

I wanted a user name and avatar that would show how smart and serious I am.

Gold Hat, two sheds! Impressive! I have a big deck. Anyone else?

He's not the only one you know! I've got 2 sheds, a garage & sizeable decking.

edit: I can provide photographic evidence too!

^ Is your real name Arthur Jackson?

Posted: Fri Aug 28, 2009 5:23 pm

^^^ nah, Arthur Frampton Very Happy

I've no real idea what's in them. Mostly wife's gardening stuff. The garage is full of junk, 4 bikes & a trailer tent (which, incidentally, is up for sale)

My username is a pun on the name Tam O'Shanter, a Scottish poet who also lent his name to a distinctive type of headgear.

Tam O'shanter is actually the name of the poem by Rabbie Burns a Scottish poet.

My name has no meaning and my avatar relates to the British football team being proposed for the 2012 Olympics. If you haven't guessed I'm Scottish and proud of it Cool

I never realised our drive was so badly cracked. Shocked

Sorry, mild digression. Carry on.

So you didn't write your last symphony... in the shed?

My nick was inspired by the show, which I used to watch all the time when I was much younger

The avvy, a 'nid, because they're like the ultimate alien species Smile

, and I want one as a pet Smile

P.S. Not yet back, still on the ferry back, still 6:30 h till we reach Portsmouth and then for another drive home

I'm a fan of PTerry Pratchett
In his book "Soul Music" Llamedos is the name he gives to a little country that has no flat surfaces, whose inhabitants sing a llllot [sic], wear white robes, play the harp and where the chief export is rain.
Look you, butty.

I live there.

The avatar is of a Mobius Strip Found here and the location nicely ties in with where I usually am.

^^ That Mobius strip is hurting my eyes.

The Wiki description hurts my brain!

Quote:

One way to represent the Möbius strip as a subset of R3 is using the parametrization:

x(u,v)= (1+\frac{1}{2}v \cos \frac{1}{2}u)cos u

y(u,v)= (1+\frac{1}{2}v\cos\frac{1}{2}u)sin u

z(u,v)= frac{1}{2}v\sin \frac{1}{2}u

where 0 ≤ u < 2π and −1 ≤ v ≤ 1. This creates a Möbius strip of width 1 whose center circle has radius 1, lies in the xy plane and is centered at (0, 0, 0). The parameter u runs around the strip while v moves from one edge to the other.

In cylindrical polar coordinates (r, θ, z), an unbounded version of the Möbius strip can be represented by the equation:

log(r)\sin\(frac{1}{2}\theta)=z\cos(frac{1}{2}\theta).

^^ Damn you, fiend! I've spent almost the past hour staring at this accursed animation trying to figure out whether this would be possible to make in real life.

Mugu versus Tuco. I always liked the way Tuco got the last word:
