And does it have any special meaning to you or someone you know?
I admit I asked someone this today, and got wondering about some others. Do you use different names on other boards??
Ill go first, lol. Russ is my name that my friends call me. I normally use RussFEST as my username on other boards, although I use Russ on DV which is why its still Russ here.
No underlying meaning of Russ, but Russ fest was given to me after I had an afterparty at my house when was young after a party call FraserFEST. The name stuck for years, and still does to certain people.
self explanatory.
I picked Lise after the Lisel from the Sound of Music. I don't know. I was trying to think of a name and the name stuck. Should have picked something sexier.
BTW, what happend to your avatar, Russ?
I dont honestly know Lise, some people say it works and others say it doesnt. Im going to change it I guess. Maybe the board doesnt like a bunny hopping around with a pancake on its head mooning people.
I wouldnt worry about your name giving the wrong impression lol.
Ah darn it. Woulda loved to see it too.
Russ....I absolutely can't believe you posted this topic. I was thinking about it a couple hours ago, and decided to do the same after I finished cooking hubby's dinner. I came back to post this topic.....and boom....there it is.
Whaddya mean, how did I pick it? My parents picked it. It says "Teh Borken" right on my birth certificate.
This from a recent discussion on Turducken:
I'm presently trying to come up with a recipe where I can use borcht as a base for the chicken stuffing.
I will call it TehBorken.[/DIV]
I started posting on DV after finding it while researching a possible move to Canada, so FC reflects my state at the time. Then I found a bumper sticker of it so it stuck for me (ignore pun, please).
I'm so over the United Snakes
Apparently the United Snakes gov't is going to merge with TMZ general corp, a former zinc bushing manufacturer.
I didn't pick my name, but it means "Man" in Hebrew. In Chinese, my name can mean many things depending on how it's mispronounced.
I picked my name from a few years ago when I started on DV. I got it from the waterbottle.
I've used way too many handles on DV to name them all. A few that I have used were:
Sally, Miss Dimension, Googler, MeAndMyBigGrin, No Doubt, plumyam and Kushiel.
i like Kushiel.
Because I am an incorrigible internet troll. However, upon discovering that TehBorken's defences were inpenetrable against my admittedly idiotic shenanigans, I decided to behave like a reasonable person here.
Former accolades include having a hand in what was touted as "the most offensive site on the web" (now defunct), merciless verbal abuse of others on DV (long since abandoned), and forcing the shutdown of a blog in NYC through nothing more than the use of language. The reality of my life is pretty much the opposite of everything I have done as a troll. Call it the safe relief and release of the dark side in all of us.
But I have promised to be nice here. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Love/25.gif)
Holy crap. I'm think I just peed in my pants sitting next to Trollio.
I was watching the video of some social occasion I attended, and noticed that I seemed to keep popping up all over the place - somewhat like a gopher.
I selected my name during a fleeting moment of lucidity. For those of you who can't figure it out, and I suspect there are several of you (no need to raise your hands, you know who you are ) it means mutilated + mind. Now then, carry on (as I know you will) ; )
i consider myself a scientist of human behavior.

Well well.
What a clever imitator we have here. :)
I have to admit this is funny.
But of course, as always : the imitation nevers equals the original.
Keep this in mind, folks ! :)
you play with fire and you get burned.
you play with raw chicken, you get samonela!

QED. If you doubt this, witness my ongoing imitation of a pompous pissant : ). I'm close aren't I? But as yet, no cigar :(

People, you who are watching this exchange, you might know that this is just an instance of the ongoing battle for your mind. It's a battle for MY mind, to be exact. And my identity...
Stop arguing with me.
No, you stop!
There ain't room enough in this dress for both of us!
TehBorken, if this is you or one of your buddies trying to persuade me to register so "nobody can steal my nick anymore", just let it go, will you...

It's not me, but I admit I do find it very amusing. And for the ten-millionth time, I personally don't care if you register or not. Just stop whining everytime someone posts as "you".
It is pretty funny watching "you" argue with "yourself", though.

Stop looking at me!!!! Mom, gopher and Elwood are picking on meeeeeeeeeeee!!!
That wasn't me. Or was it ? Somedays I get confused. And shutup, Snorlax, you're just a pokemon.

Stop repeating then you don't care if I register or not... you did your utmost best to convince me, remember ?
Why would you want me to "stop whining" ? Am I violating any rule on any messageboard in the internet by replying and stating what I want to state ?
For an admin and a moderator, you have a weird double-standard. You say nothing of trolls attacking me with ad-hominems (you even quote them in your replies and tell me you agree with them), nor of someone who insists of sabotaging and spoiling topics I open, even if I ask the person to please stay out of my threads... and you think some troll stealing my nick is just funny.
What you find funny does tell something about you, BTW...

Okay, I won't keep telling you that I don't care if you register or not. Because I really don't care if you register or not. I promise not to keep saying that I don't care if you register or not. Because whether you register or not, I just don't care. In other words, I don't care if you register or not. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)

Yes, you're violating the "[a href="http://www.discoverseattle.net/w3c/tos.php"]No Whining[/a]" rule (it's near the bottom)

Well, pardon me for having an opinion and a personality. I'll just have to get real bland and make sure I don't have any of those pesky opinions. I'll just be all robotic and completely uninteresting, okay?
nor of someone who insists of sabotaging and spoiling topics I open, even if I ask the person to please stay out of my threads...
I'm not responsible for the way people respond to you, and stop trying to "guilt" me into it. That's just not gonna happen, okay? Try taking some responsibility for your own actions and the way people respond to you. I'm sure as shit not making them respond to you the way they are. Do you think this is Romper Room and I'm going to spend my day here making sure everyone behaves nicely? Because that's not gonna happen either.
and you think some troll stealing my nick is just funny.
I find your complaining about it very funny, considering it's completely preventable. And how can they steal something that you don't own? Seems to me that you have a very odd and over-developed sense of entitlement. They couldn't do that if you didn't let them, so technically aren't you responsible for it? But far be it for me to mention that I don't care if you register or not, lol. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)

Well I'm so happy for the marvelous insight you've gained. Is it group hug time now?

Well, see, I tried to make you understand my viewpoint but it's to no avail, you persist in rather showing off your "personality" and apparently even expect me to admire you for that. I have just one thing to say : if you are not going to make sure everyone behaves nicely but not going to see to it either that some decent behavior is displayed in this place, well then just don't bother with my whining. Okay ?
I rather think everyone's been too hard on Mutilated Mind. Don't judge him until you've walked a mile in his bunny slippers.

MM....the point you are missing is that there is no way to know who we are responding to.
You say [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffbf"]"I tried to make you understand my viewpoint". [/FONT]How is anyone to figure out who's viewpoint we are reading?
You're SO convinced that TehBorken has some ulterior motive when he suggests it might be a good idea to register, that you've overlooked common sense.
There could be 30 different people posting as Mutilated Mind, and you are expecting people to know exactly which one is really YOU. Many people here on DS, have gone through the frustration of being handlejacked on other forums, and have found that the luxury of 'owning' your handle a great way to, (in your words) "make sure everyone behaves nicely".
I swore I wouldn't bother acknowledging your posts, but what the hey.

I can't help it if I have one and you don't.

Not at all. I don't get my ego-fulfillment through your admiration. Admire me or not, it's all the same to me.
I have just one thing to say :
Oh, if only that were the case. You have much more than "one thing to say". And you say it all the time.
if you are not going to make sure everyone behaves nicely but not going to see to it either that some decent behavior is displayed in this place, well then just don't bother with my whining. Okay ?
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it all the consideration it deserves. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)
I'll tell ya right now: if you continue to whine about people using a name that's freely available to anyone, then I may just call you on it or make a pithy comment. Do you think you have some exclusive, god-given "right" to use that name? You don't, not unless and until you register it. And as you've told me not to tell you, I don't care if you register your name or not. Oops, I said it again.
Seriously, though, I have better things to do than try and enforce the unenforceable. I don't mind a little misbehavior here and there. Most of what's gone on is some good-natured poking of fun at you, not vicious, hateful attacks. Don't expect me to get all in a lather when someone pokes fun at you and your pedantic obstinancy.
We're all adults here (for the most part) and I'm not about to try and make people "behave decently", whatever the hell that means. That's not my job and I can't understand why you think it is.

Better yet, Concerned : read some threads I posted in around February or March 2006, you'll get a better understanding (I hope) of what went on before. I posted earlier under the nick of Bumbling Bee.
Ummm, MM ??? It seems like you can't keep up with your own handle. I don't think you posted here as Bumbling Bee. Jolly Green Giant, perhaps ???

You are still addressing me as MM, so you do feel Mutilated Mind is my nick and not that usurper's.... exactly the way I myself feel about it.
You are right, Jolly Green Giant was my nick before I used Mutilated Mind. I was mixing up with Bumbling Bee, the nick I had over on Discovervancouver, just before for some mysterious reason I was unable to post there anymore, even changing computers, ISP's and proxies - which is a mystery as big as the Bermuda Triangle is you ask me.
If you check on Bumbling Bee's messages on DV, probably about February this year, you will perhaps understand there might be a reason why I suddenly couldn't post there anymore. And no, I didn't violate any rules or anything of the sort as TehBorken would probably so much like so as not to have to accuse me of the terrible crime of "being annoying".

Jesus Christ you're f*cking stupid! If you don't register the name - wait for it - it's not yours, you dumb son of a bitch! You're like a kid who insists on putting his hand on a hot stove and then cries about the pain. God help you if you ever get the balls to get into a an actual real life situation. You're simply not equipped to to anything more than whine on the internet. You whining sob-sister, you're nothing more than a laughingstock. Sucks to be you.

Errr, no. No one can steal something from you that you don't own. Sorry you can't think more clearly about this, but that's the way it is.

You have the right to want whatever you feel like. I want a big red yacht, and I have the right to want it. That doesn't mean I can claim the first one I see as mine and then whine about it when the real owner takes it out to sea for a fun-filled cruise.
and the one who stole it has all the right to do this ? And you are justifying this by the fact that I didn't register it ?
1) They didn't steal anything. Stop lying like that. You had no ownership of it, therefore it could not be "stolen" from you.
2) Yes, exactly. You didn't register it and now it's gone. Now they "own" it.
I think this is pretty dishonest.
