> So, I've been here for three years, and only now has it occurred to me to find out where some of the more bizarre names come from (as if zwemgek isn't). Like Mike the penny-stamp man. And mousie. And bandaids. Maybe everybody else already knows this, and I'm filling the message bored with useless clutter. But the drive to satisfy my curiosity has always been very strong (you should see me at Christmas when the wrapped presents are all out early). I think it would be interesting to find out where some of your names come from.

Being the type with a squillion nicknames, I have only held this name for the last few months and will probably change it again at one point or another. But I digress.

My first screen name (which I thought up when we got this ISP) was Jim_Raynor_007. But that name eventually got buried in spam and I abandoned it. For those of you who don't know, Jim Raynor is one of the main characters in the best RTS game ever, StarCraft.

Several names later, I decided to rechange my name back to something along the lines of the first one, but in a sort of "reborn" fashion. Since I'm a Linkin Park fan, and their second album "Reanimation" came out, I decided to change my name to The Reanimated Raynor.

Unfortunately, having that as a signature seemed a bit much, so in the style of Reanimation (I.E. shortening and switching around letters to make a corrupted version of the original word) I changed Raynor to RynØr.
