WAB Screen Name Meaning?

**Indirect Fire** · 25 Sep 07,, 00:13

When I made my screen name, I was obsessed with artillery, and hence, Indirect Fire.

**Tarek Morgen** · 25 Sep 07,, 00:16

Tarek is my real name...ok not very creative..

**smalltexan** · 26 Sep 07,, 05:31

I'm short-4' 11" and a native Texan. My signature reflects quotes from my favorite authors-humorists, currently.

**furkensturker** · 23 Oct 07,, 13:47

Freddie Furkensturker is a fictional character from a radio station, I liked the way it rolls off the tongue, not sure of the linage, may be German but then again, may be Norwegian.

My signature, Is latin for....... sorry, you'll have to work it out, it's a rough translation.

**Silent Hunter** · 23 Oct 07,, 14:32

Personal joke from early computing days about my lack of subtlety when playing FPS games. Also the name of a submarine game series, which obviously inspired the name.

**HistoricalDavid** · 13 Nov 07,, 21:31

My name harks back to the days when I was interested in history and was going to do it at university, before my teacher put me off.

My title is a reference to the wonderful Blake poem "The Tyger". In what distant deeps or skies, Burn't the fire of thine eyes?

My avatar is a wonderful woman in an aggressive, confrontational pose, sort of like me when I'm on an arrogant streak. (without the jaw-dropping beauty, of course).

My signature is a straightfoward question.

Name is just a nickname I've garnered over the years - not sure about the origin, just stuck, I use it as my handle on most of the boards I've registered on.

The Avatar is Big Mick, far better known outside Ireland as Michael Collins, he was arguably the father of the nation, whom I admire greatly.

"Inaisc na pleidcadhoiri" is Gaeilge, it means "Amidst the jokers" - relevant for the board I think

) !

And the sig is the last 4 lines of W.B Yeats' finest poem in my opinion, Easter 1916, telling the story of the Easter rising in Dublin, which was the catalyst for Ireland's War of Independence - a pivotal moment in our (Ireland's) history.

**Ryan Bailey** · 31 Dec 07,, 22:02

This screen name is my name. I keep this name often for its brough me luck thus far. Also I seek to impose upon myself & others the utmost of personal responsibility & humanity in a sometimes irresponsible & inhuman world.

**Zem** · 02 Jan 08,, 18:32

Sam(uel) morphed the Zem
which by pure coincidence relates to The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy one of my favorite books.

Avatar is Mark II Powerarmour from Fallout 2

Sig is from "V for Vendetta"

cheers
