Mission Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 Mine is, uh, Aloysius. I was created a Skeleton King room for a haunted house. It had a skeleton in moldering robes sitting on an electrified throne and six skulls on angled posts lining the walls. The worker electrified the chair and jumped out from behind the patrons. I liked the idea so much I put it into the book I'm writing on haunted houses. _____________ "Danger's my middle name..."

miamiwings Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 MY username came about because, not only do I live in Miami, but I raise birds too. Also, I love chickenwings. I know it's kind of a contradiction. That's me though. By the way, this is my first post. Looks like a fun group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 Life is sort of contradiction. Or at least an interesting balancing act. (Did you know if the composition of air changed slightly it would become a deadly poisin to us? Yet another useless fact we can all worry over.) Besides, I've had wings in Miami. Works for me!

Captain Midnight Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Ahoy mates! Well, you asked, so here goes. My name was given to me as a nickname in high school by my friends on the basketball team many years ago, I think it is based on some radio character from the thirties or forties, but where they came up with the inspiration to name me after that character, I'll never know. When I joined the pub, I couldn't think of a good pirate name for meself, so I called meself "Gentleman Jeff", because I prefer to deal amicably with others (until crossed, that is), and then one day, my wife was thumbing through some of my old high School year books and found several photos of me with my nickname underneath. She said "why don't you just use the name you were called by your friends years ago as your pirate name?" It made perfect sense, and sounded proper for a pirate, and since I am the owner of a boat named "Barracuda", even the captain part of the name was fitting. So Captain Midnight it is! "Now then, me bullies! Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?" ---Captain William Kidd--- (1945) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyratbabe Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 For the past twelve years at CA Southern Renn Faire I have camped with the town criers. For the past two years I've been one. We pretend to be mean, sexist, jaded, and drunk. Okay...we really are drunk... Criers have been a traditionally male dominated guild (which is why I've stayed in camp so long!!!), and the guys joke that when they can't remember a girl's name they just call her "babe". The girls all call men "babe", now, too. I decided if they were going to call me babe, I'd just accept it, but I sure as tarnation was a Pyratbabe!

Barbados Sam Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I was going to start a thread like this, but found out it was already started....so here's my 2 cents... The first generation of my family settled in Plymouth, Mass. around 1690. His name was Samuel and he is believed to have come from Barbados. "There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We frittered them away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize... the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men....Compelled by greed we were, and now we are consumed by it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbead Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Well, me name comes from a classic narrative technique: the mistake. I had originally intended to call me business "Blackbeard's Treasure Chest" and me name would have been me original pirate name: Black John Flint. Me story would ha' been that I be the master of Blackbeard's vessel and I be the designee to be sellin' off his plunder to finance our next 'venture. So there I be, typing in the name on an email to me beloved and I tripped over me own fingers and there, on the electronic page, was "Blackbead." It were perfect! So, I kept it and the rest, as they say, is history. Or "my-story" if'n ye prefer!

greenighs Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Got this handle in '95 when all the other spellings of "green eyes" were taken on Dalnet IRC. And me ighs are green, after all. I'm greenighs on all the boards I frequent (mostly marine aquarium/reef related) and the igh has become a bit of an alter ego for me. On this board, I'm considering changes my moniker to "greenighed threadkiller" since my posts seem to kill any interest in whatever thread it appears.

Tall Mike Bismuth van der Bulge Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Arr, rest assured, Greenighs; I be here t'kill the threads now. My own name is a bit o' fried gold, if ye ask me. I be lookin' fer a pirate name, ye see, and I be usin' our favourite ficticious literary personality, Long John Silver, as me model (as far as the name goes). Basically, I be wantin' t'be makin' it sound cheesy, unnecessarily lengthy, and with a bit o' innuendo. I be tall, so that solves the first part o' that, Mike be a name which fits a pirate pretty darn well (though ye don't see it often), and Bismuth is a semi-precious element which makes ye sound a little cheaper than a guy named "Silver". So I says t'meself, "Arr, Cap'n Tall Mike Bismuth, that be good! Wait, no, t'ain't right. T'aint right at all," so I be talkin' t'me first mate, and somewhere along the line, I be transformin' inta a funky black cop from the nineteen-hundred and seventies named "Von Bulge". Ye know, like Truck Turner. Anyway, so I be bustin' up a mafia operation, outsmartin' me future first mate (who was a knight at the time) who be tryin' t'bomb me with carpet, an' eventually, I got in a pirate ship, transformed back inta me pasty-white self, and found me name still had the word "Bulge" on it. Well, "Captain Tall Mike Bismuth Bulge" doesn't sound too good, and given the origin of the new addition, I be decidin' t'go Dutch. Methinks that has a sexual pretense, "to go Dutch", but I be meanin' that I be makin' the greatest damn pirate name in all the history of Musicology and Scientology combined. No clue what that be meanin'. Gyar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenighs Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thankee, Tall Mike, I apreciate the explanation. The "Tall" part I'd ventured to guess m'self, the "Bismuth" was obvious, the Van der Bulge goes without saying, but I admit being a bit confused about the "Mike" in there. Glad ye cleared that up.
