:D Why do you carry the handle that you do? Is it of special significance to you or just a general jest for all? Don't be scared all I'm going to do is use it against you in later posts.

I am called Ogg The Flatulent Underling by those who know me well others call me Greasy Liverface snicker,snicker. The name has always struck me as a very middle ages name, while the flatulent part is easy enough to explain. Come on over here and stand by me for a second:D

I thought I'd said this before, but I'll reiterate .
I am either fluffy bunny or hydra66 on any forum or game. I play computer games online. If u go play a shooter online, u'll find the majority of people incorporate stuff like death, killer, reaper, etc into their online names. It's boring, and hence I went to the opposite end of the spectrum. Trust me, people sit up and take notice.

Besides, I like wildlife - I have no qualms about being the bunny.

It seemed like the name to use, since I got my first hotmail account shortly after performing my third miracle.

Hell if I know.

Lifino = L if I no = Hell if I know.

Most people asume it's Italian and pronounced Lif'ee'NO...

It's a name I've used for a while... Always thought it'd make a nice vanity plate:D

I suffer from the disgrace of looking before I leap. This name that I carry with me shows an immaturity that only rarely peaks out. I am desprate to relieve myself from this god forsaken title. So please, can anyone tell me how to switch names.:(

My nom de guerre is an old family name I use so that the internet demons won't follow me home and eat all the Cabury's creme eggs................


It also hides my age, sex and religious beliefs under a very long tailed shirt.........

Sorry, I have been at this machine for five hours finishing off the first draft of my second book.......

I was lazy and just picked a female character out of one of my favourite books (Memory Sorrow & Thorn). I was so lazy, that I just picked the first name that came into my head. I really didn't like Miriamele that much; she was somewhat of a wimp. But she has a nice picture at least. :)

Way back in the BBS days, I had tried to signup with a local board using skywalker as my handle...it was already taken, so I started using vader and haven't looked back! It fits my voice a lot better than the whiny Luke ;) I named most of my work servers with Star Destroyer names :D

The handle comes from the Chinese emperor, Qin Shi Huangdi, whose name I adopted upon becoming an online combatant in Jedi Knight and Quake II in 1997. There's no real explanation for the name, I simply liked the way it sounded. It was simple, easy to remember, and effective.
