Isn't "Ribbit" also the sound a frog makes? |

Azrifel is a character from Terry Pratchett's excelent parody on Larry Nivens's "Ringworld": "Strata".
He's an artificial ghost in the lamp with attitude.
I chose it, because no one else anywhere uses it, sounds strange and because I am a huge TP fan (got the whole Discworld serie + Strata + Good Omens and keep on collecting).

When I was growing up, no one could pronounce our last name "Praskach" so my brother and I started calling each other Doug-Paz and Dean-Paz. The Paz name has stuck for almost 30 years now. My entire family uses it for most of their online names and we often talk about all the "little Pazzes" and such. I even had an online column for years that was called Paz Jazz. I sometimes use that as an online name as well.

My came from the military term - a chinstrap is the strap that is attached to your cap . Also some old military officers were referred to as 'colonel chinstrap' in a joking manner. Mind you some of my work collegues have pointed out to me what a chinstrap could also be. But thats not for these pages...

Well, we still have not heard from smellyfish yet. I asked him what that meant a long time ago and he never replied!
My smansell username is just one that was always automatically given to me at work, using my first initial and my last name. If I were to change it I would choose Samara. I am interested in fairies so I think Samara is a lovely fairy name.
I would love to hear from Muckpond since I am in the same Indiana area.
Watch soon for my username change, I think I will do it. |

OK, here goes...
Smellyfish is a user name I thought up on the spur of the moment while registering for a free hotmail account. I wanted junk emails from on line registrations to go to a free email account...
No meaning behind it, although it was fairly popular... I had to add a number behind it to get one through. I'm not a fisherman, I don't smell like a dead fish, although I was on submarines in the Navy for 12 years... I know from experience that after 30 or 40 days at sea, evertything smelled bad, but not like dead fish!!
No meaning at all, just an arbitrary weird name, and it has stuck for awhile!

| Undieyatch, my dpc user screen name, is a rather ordinary combination of two old nick names. Undie, the first part came about from my siblings childhood attempt at pronouncing Andre, which is my first name. Yatch or sometimes Yatchy, another nickname which I aquired in grade school, was derived by my classmates from the name of a cartoon character - "Yakky Doodle" . Yakky Doodle was a duck who appeared in some Tom and Jerry cartoons and also in Yogi Bear. |

Mine is boring... My name is Chris and W is the first letter of my last name. So when I register on websites, etc., "ChrisW" is usually taken already so I simply add "123" to it and that usually does the trick. :) If that is also taken, it means that I have already used that login in the past on the webiste (and long since forgotten my password), so I get pissed off and have to add "4" to it, giving me "ChrisW1234". Simple really. :)

| I got involved with slapstick as an artform and I was know for my use of sweet things like pies and cakes. The more I got involved in photography and slapstick together I got into doing photos that were one the verge of fetish art and I would joke about them being my only sin. So I put the sweet and the one sin together and came up with OneSweetSin. |

Mines just a made up word, but heres an explanation that I just materialised a second ago.
Well I like lizards, and there's a Komodo dragon. This crossed with a Condor eagle would make a flying Komodo dragon, or a Kom-dor. Komdor sounds too much like Condor, so stick an A in the middle to make Komador, but that's a navy rank or something, so replace the M with an N and you get Konador.
Lol, I dunno, it's just a random word really, which I later found out is actually someones surname in Brazil or something. They emailed me asking what relation I was to them!

| My user name is a nick name. I volunteer as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) with our volunteer fire dept. There are a lot of young men that also volunteer. On one emergency call when it involved a pregnant teenage girl, one of them called on the radio "Grandma, hurry!" because he didn't want to have to deliver a baby(no one had to deliver the baby we got her to the hospital in time). So they started calling me Grandma EMT. |

As a jazz fan, i admire a local saxophonist whose surname was "Jack the Hipster".
In his memory,i 'd like to use hipster (it's close to my name, phoneticaly, and i like the meaning) But hipster is most of time already in use in the forums or community sites. So i added the "r" from René.

I use to play Dungeons and Dragons with a character named Ugh. He was a short in stature bezerking fighter who always rushed into battle before thinking and always getting hurt. Then I thought he needed a last name, and ouch was a little plain. So I used the German version, Autsch and came up with Ugh von Autsch. Eventually I had a whole family of characters. Ugh, Argh (the intelligent brother), Ooo Ahh (the slutty sister), Aahoom (the meditating monk) and Ack von Oww (the idiot). I've become a von Autsch fanatic. So the choice in name was obvious.
