    One of the great things about CP (IMHO) is that we use our names, not wierd aliases to speak to each other. However, if you were to pick an alias - what would it be? :) (can you tell I'm winding down to a 4 day weekend :-O )


    It's much better than the term "embedded," though. I'm tired of hearing about embedded reporters. That must be a lousy job, like having a career as a suppository. - Roger Wright

      My friends called me "Ganji" in college, and the name has stuck. I like to be called both Ganji and Rohit, or Raju, which is my pet name inside my family. Actually there is even a story behind the name Ganji. I have got a pair of eyes that are really drooping, sort of, and look like the eyes of a guy who is high on something (though I am not). After I made some friends, and we got close enough to pass comments on each other, they started joking about me being high on marijuana, and gave me the name "Ganjedi". Ganjedi in Hindi is someone who takes marijuana habitually (I am not a Ganjedi by the way). Slowly Ganjedi became Ganji, and has stuck ever since. I like it because it reminds me of my college days. So if it's an alias, Ganji it will be.
      Regards,

            You're really going to hate me for this one but....... There is a gay/mixed pub I go to with friends sometimes - really relaxed place, get chatting to loads of people. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago the bar staff virtually herded us into the dancefloor/stage area because there was a male stripper on and noone seemed to be interested. His stage name by the way, is Eclipse :laugh: So do you have an evening job ? It does raise a question though - why bother with stippers ? Most of us found the act silly but didn't want to hurt the guys feelings :rolleyes: Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

                        I would use my Sonork/game name which is "RIGamortis". It derives from the old 3 letter high score entry system on video games. It should be RIA, but I preferred RIG. When I moved over to coding for the Atari-ST, I extended it to RIGamortis. I use this name for all my on-line games / chat room thingies. Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Were you different as a kid?

                          Alot of friends call me BW, B-dub, B, Big B, etc. initials just don't work well online it seems. I used to be Lone Wolf, then for a while I used Viking. In college, my roommate and I painted a stone wall entrance around the outside of our dorm room. And wrote Valhalla across the top. Thus viking.

(From the movie, "The Jerk") Actually, my name kind of sounds like Navin (it's Nathan), so in college one guy insisted on calling me Navin. Hardly anyone calls me that in real life anymore, but it works well for an alias on the 'net. :-D "When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute.

                                    Polymorph? Were/are you a D&D geek? I can't think of any other use of that term... And, uh, a friend told me that Polymorph was a D&D spell. I, myself, never heard of it. Honest. J

                                      One of the great things about CP (IMHO) is that we use our names, not wierd aliases to speak to each other. However, if you were to pick an alias - what would it be? :) (can you tell I'm winding down to a 4 day weekend :-O )


                                      It's much better than the term "embedded," though. I'm tired of hearing about embedded reporters. That must be a lousy job, like having a career as a suppository. - Roger Wright

                                      Alias, huh? I don't like that idea at *all*, seems sneaky and dishonest. But, if i absolutely *had* to, i think i'd do "Roger Phillips". No idea why.

                                        Back in the BBS days, my buddy and I figured out a way to get more rounds in Tradewars by rifling through the phone book and picking random name/phonenumber combinations. One of us stumbled on an actual guy in TO named Klaus Hammer. It stuck. In university, I was slacker. Whilst gaming in more recent years, I was ptrace and fixer. Now, when I partake in questionable online behaviour, I'm joeschmoe. J
