My real name is Lutzkivitchki (loots-key-vich-key) ...Need I say more ?For short I go by 'Lutz' but people always cock it up by mispronouncing it or thinking it's my surname and calling me "Mr Lutz" - when I tell them I'm actually *Mr Schniewind* they say: "Gesundheit!!"'Bish the Ding' just sounded like a normal name to me, so I've gone with it ...If your wondering what a "Ding" is, try to imagine a six foot smurf on speed (tall, blue, and wired!)[This message has been edited by Bish_the_Ding (edited 10 March 2001).]

my nickname has a pretty neat story behind it. when i was a freshmen in highschool i was taking a world history class with the most amazing teacher ive ever had the privalige of being taught by. but anyway about 1/4 of the way through the first semester i got very sick and basically was clincally dead for a number of minutes before they could revive me. well i ended up missing the rest of the first semester. upon return to school for the second semester the first thing out of his mouth was Lazurus you've returned from the dead. at the time i really had no clue who lazurus was or what he really meant. hell i didnt even know how to spell it properly. but the name stuck. one day i decided that it would be my login to the schools LAN, but i spelled it lazerous. ever since then ive been lazerous, except in one small circle of very close friends where jazzer one of my best friends equaled jizzer, and lazerous equaled lazydick.. on occassion i go by Kuray (ka-rye) but thats usually only to friends in everquest or other rpgs. anyone else.. id love to hear more about everyone.. this group is so neat.

ykaterina - you sound quite fascinating yourself ...Tell me, do you, er, speak with an accent? =>I never knew that about Russian names ! The extent of my knowledge was that if your dad was an Ivan and you were a girl, you'd be an Ivanova - if you were a guy you'd be an Ivanovich ...(or have I got that wrong ?)I had this Russian phrase book (which I stupidly borrwed to someone and never got back! Ghack ! Ptui !) that was just full of useful phrases! My best was from things you might hear at a doctors office: "Lie down, I'm going to examine you."Whoo-hoo ! Now if you want to say something in another language, THAT has to make the top ten !!Unfortunately I've forgotten how to say it, but I can still say things like "please", "thank you", "it's nothing", and "hands up!" ...Nice one WildChild for starting this off ! It's been a source of much mirth !Going to Rustlers this Easter ?Bish

I have always been a Superman freak...When i was little i had the cape, the underoos, the pajamas, you name it...i had it.But it wasnt untill about 4 yrs ago, when i strted going to this pool hall about 5 nights a week, that the same group of people saw me twice in the same week with two separate Superman shirts.( I own about 10 different ones) Plus i had a "S" logo ring, Wallet, keychain, necklace...ect..So they started calling me Super'..Eversince. Im getting a tattoo of the Bleeding shield this summer from "the death of Superman" comic at the base of my neck. Plus i am going to name my first born son Kalel...of course maybe i should discuss that with my wife at some point... grin------------------"Only the warrior that hears the call will know when to leave, Where to go" -unknown

If you've never read the dreamlike and inspirational Sandman comics by Neil Gaiman, I'd like to take this opportunity to heartily recommend them. You won't be sorry.I've used the name sandman online for about a decade. You might occasionally see me going by the name of Tokyodrifter (in places where someone beat me to the name sandman), and there's a group of girls at my local who call me Mystery Man for no apparent reason. Something to do with the goatee and wearing black all the time I think.

Code128My nick came from a place that I'm going to guess most people would not be able to name. Thats right it is a bar code symbology that defines what exactly each of the narrow and fat bars mean. I worked in the software world for a couple of years designing and testing a bar code labeling/Database program and when I came across that symbology name at the same time that I was playing HalfLife pretty regulary I knew that my handle was destined to be Code128. If anyone ever played the Gasworks board you may remember my Graffiti Fear the Code!Yeah its funny, but what can I say im really just a large child, and I dont see anything wrong with that. Josh

Bass as in Bass Guitar, pronounced as "Base." Not to be confused with the fish.So I think it was about 9 years ago, when the internet was hardly present, I started loging on to BBS's with my 300 baud modem (1200 baud was common at the time, but hey I was happy with my 300 baud). You could see letters slowly scrolling across the screen as they were being downloaded. hehe. Anyway that's when I was first forced to pick a "handle" as it was called it the time. Bass guitar was my life at the time, so I became Bassman. I don't use that nickname too much anymore but I decided to use it here cuz it reminds me of good times smile

Hmm, there's a funny story behind my name (bet no-one thought that!). My Christian name on my birth certificate says "Charles" but Ever since I could remember I was always called "Chad" by my family, in fact, as a young kid I used to get annoyed if people called me charles.My Dad was called Philip Charles Dolbel, his dad was Charles Phillip and his dad was Phillip Charles and, well, you get the idea.Mum apparently hated the name Charles (don't know why, her name is Beatrice!) and refused to call me it when i was growing up.I say Dad 'was' coz he died when I was 14, and ever since then I'd thought about using Charles as a respect thing. When I moved to Auckland I thought it would be the best time to do it as hardly anyone knew me. And so I've been "Charles" to my old and new friends for about 3.5 years now.As to my performance personas, I'm also known as Sparkles, INFERNO (guess what he does) and always tell the kids that we are twin brother (INFERNO IS THE EVIL ONE!)To find out how i go the name INFERNO, there's a whole topic, under "stagename needed" if you want to check it out.Other nicknames have included Brandon (when i used to worry about my hair all the time), Stumpy (ok ok, im not that tall...), The Fire Guy, The Unicycle Guy and lots of other names my fiance calls me that I won't say *blush*.------------------Charleshttps://juggling.co.nz

pozee, HUH?well my last name is posey, everyone calls me that because there are too many mikes and michaels in the world. and usually people pronounce my name as posse when the see it spelled the right way, so i figured that with a z and two e's it would be easier to understand. sometimes i go by poz or pose. or some other form like that.

anyone got a light?

Actually, I need to change my identity/screen name/email in a week or two so it's funny that this should come up. I'm finding it problematic having one related to my name. It's hard to do! It's funny that selecting your screen name is a very important decision in this day and age! I'll let you know what I pick.

I've been reading Home of Poi and twirling for almost six weeks now, so it's high time I introduced myself winkMy third name is Augusta, and it's a gift from my mother. My mother's family have a fifteen-generation tradition that cycles through variants of three names - Kathryn, Elizabeth and Janice. The eldest daughter in the family will be Kathryn Elizabeth, the next Elizabeth Janice, then Janice Kathryn. In a spirited buck against tradition, my mother named me Kathryn Elizabeth Augusta and gave me the decision of a name to go by. I'm Kathryn at work, and Augusta at play smile--------------------Augusta'When the light came on it nearly blinded me.'

Hi Flash Fire. Of course I know who you are, when you dance it's hard to miss you winkAs I ought to have mentioned, I am under the fine tutelage of the Wick Effect, who have been patient and kind (and don't laugh too much). Berzerker even lent me a pair of practice poi, which has lessened the rigorous bruising and swearing winkI'll definitely be at Newtown tonight! Does anyone know an anti-rain dance?

Hey Cantus...cool name! I doubt he would have done firestaff - using fire toys in tight, confined spaces (ie underground) can be a little tricky sometimes! smileI loved that show. wish it was back on.

Might as well join in...my name comes from the Spanish for "blue girl". It's a fairly accurate description of me, being that I have an obsession with the colour. If I could have blue fire, I would be happy. smileI started using it as a nickname because I wanted a new online nick (not the ones I'd used since high school), and I liked the sound of it!

Hi Everyone!!!!I'm new but I thought I'd put my bit in straight away.Got the nick Mogli when I was a tour guide in Europe with Stray Travel. We were in Barcelona at the cheezie dance clubs on my training trip. Apparently my style ressembled that of an ape, so they called me King Louis from the Jungle Book. That didn't stick and cause my appearance more suited the charater Mowgli, they called me that and it stuck. I didn't know how to spell it hence the lack of a w.
