I am a diehard fan of using matches to light my pipe. I absolutely hate using a lighter unless I absolutely have to. Plus, I loved Sam Rockwell and Nic Cage in the movie Matchstick Men. So there you have it.

Well my last name is shain and i love going to auctions and buying and selling antiques. I started doing ebay a few years back and my ebay name is a combination of the two. Hence shaintiques.
I know what I need, smoke, I can't recall the last time I tasted it....Gandalf in the mines of Moria.
"we shall have to share pipes, as good friends must at a pinch'....'I keep a treasure or two near my skin, as precious as rings to me. Here's one: my old wooden pipe. And here's another an unused one...He held up a small pipe with a wide flattened bowl, and handed it to Gimli. 'Does that settle the score between us', said Merry.

My name comes from the year I was stationed in Korea. I was assigned to the 80th FS at Kunsan, AB South Korea from 2000-2001. We were known as the "Juvats." 270 was the tail number of the F-16 I was assigned to as Dedicated Crew Chief.
Not sure why I continue to use that as my screen name. I've used it for many years now and it just sorta stuck.

well thinking this over-My screen name that I use is is used in other sites.
Back in the 20's-30,s, men used the rails to get to new opportunities also whole families.
That reflects the backbone of people going to the extremes of providing their continence
of living . most all had camps along the way.
Now some kept to the nomadic life-lot died-good many started a new life. They did not
sit on a couch and waited for a Government hand out. They did what their ancestors in
stilled in them and what people do to keep there promises of providing.
No you can not ride the rails or walk the highways today but the reflections of that hardships can stay the course to do what ever it takes.

My name is Dan. My family still calls me Danny. I'm an American of Irish extraction, proud of that heritage. And the Tuatha de Danaan (pronounced something like "two a day dan ahn") are the mythical not-quite-first inhabitants of Ireland--after the Firbolgs.

D is the initial for my first name which is dave. Hizzy is a crypted version of my last name given to me by a friend at work. It is a spoof on snoop dogg language. Some of you will know what Im talkin about. Not a rap fan but hey, it stuck!

I played a crap ton of Halo during my highschool days and kept with it and then eventually read whatever books they came out with and I fell in love with the character so I adopted the name. After 300 came out everyone and their mom started using the name followed by the infamous line, "THIS, IS, SPARTA!!" I was ashamed of the name after all the 300 hype. But after it died down I feel better about it now.
In short....I'm a nerd who loves video games and well-written fiction books. Don't seem to have much time for either nowadays.

ahh, I just looking for this thread. My screen name can be credited to our own Marmal4de. I have a disagreement with Latakia - I like it, body doesn't. So in an effort to force my body to like it, I am trying it in small doses to build up a "tolerance".
Marm mentioned how Ninjas in the days gone would ingest small amounts of poison in order to build up tolerance. Hence, I became the Pipe Ninja

This is a name I created when playing original Starcraft years ago where my whole group came up with shapes for our names. I picked the eleven sided polygon and happily so because no one uses this SN and I now use it for everything!

The Greyface part used to be a band I hung out with. I was having trouble coming up with a gamertag, and at the time I had an avatar of Don Corleone from The Godfather;The Game, so I just put the two together. Don Greyface, I figured if you pronounced the last part with a bit of an accent, it would sound italian. So it stuck and I've used it for everything since then.

Usually I use icywallawalla which I took from the original Halo's default name "wallawalla". I modified it to icywallawalla because I need something for xbox live. And Logan means "little hollow" or "little cove" in Scots Gaelic. And if you couldn't already tell CollinDow and I are brothers he is the elder

I don't have to explain my screen name. What would you do if your real name were Thaddeus Percival?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Well, I was almost Edard William Love the Third, so Don't feel bad. Luckily the Irish Protestant contingent in my family (mom's side) shone through and I became Clinton (City on the Hill in Gaelic), while still having the last name Love, the name of the landed gentry (before the war of Northern Aggression) from my father. The Baron Samedi is the vodoun Loa of Death and I made a connection with that entity while in mortuary school. Although I am frequently addressed as Baron, most regular folks know me as Clint (foreigners calling me CLint From Texas, slightly erroneous, though as my family are Texians, I was born in Germany).

Vroomfondel is a very minor character from my favorite book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by the late Douglas Adams. He is a slightly deranged, yet very damanding philosopher that coined two of my favorite sentences ever:
"We don't demand solid facts! What we demand is a total absence of solid facts. I demand that I may or may not be Vroomfondel!"
also
"We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty"
Hehe, makes me chuckle every time...

Yohanan is the Hebrew equivalent of the word John, Do I speak, read, or am I Hebrew? No. I just thought it would be a nice screen name for the boring name John, and for other personal reasons. Genesis 12:1-3

I make my living in the radio communications industry, and radio is one of my hobbies as well. The 807 was a widely used tube (valve) that served as an RF power amplifier and modulator. You radio types will know what a modulator is. For the rest of you, if I have to explain it you would then understand, although few have remained awake for the entire dissertation. So there you have it.

Oh and Philip ... there's something to be said for having an unusual first name. Thaddeus or Thad is rather uncommon (at least here in California), but being named Mike is a pain in the ass. You can't throw a rock without hitting three Mike's around here.

My name of "oldmooner" is a combination of the fact that I am older than most of you (I really don't mind), a nickname that I have carried for over 50yrs. I had a career in the USAF and everyone has a "callsign" or nickname in the military. Mine was "Moon" and comes from two old comic strips called "Gasoline Alley" and "Moon Mullins". Since my last name is Mullins, I just naturally inherited the name. No one except my ex-wife and my Mother used my "correct" name.

I have used Aristokles since the days of the Usenet and the old bulletin boards. It's supposedly Plato's real name and as I majored in Philosophy and Classical Greek (before returning to college for a degree in Finance) it seemed to fit my alter-ego.
