    I live in "Manitou Woods". That's me you see late at night with the binocu-I mean, what?

    By the way, water your plants, they look like crap.



    But no, that's seriously the name of my street area. You know, one of those awesome neighborhoods where all the houses match. o_O

    I knew it. Secretly, Mani desires to be a Shaman. Heck, his card game CLEARLY states the hunt for a Sacred Totem. Release your anger and fear! Come. Join me. And together we can rule all of Azeroth!

    (after pleading for his life like a farmboy from the desert)

    They, never told you this, but I have to tell you now. Manitou...I am your father.

    (resounding NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO is heard throughout the galaxy)

    This might be an interesting forum topic -- what is the origin of everyone's forum name?

    I'm afraid mine is sort of boring, it's just my first name. :p

    Asmo posted pics of them once. The only thing anyone has sent me is a box of cookies in a rose covered box on Valentine's Day - and it wasn't Mrs. Mani. That was fun to talk my way out of. :p

    Brokentusk DragonWolf

    The original comic book of Alien vs Predator.

    I had to replace one that was not good. It was left over from when I ran the Arkham Asylum BBS in the dark years of 300 baud modems. I picked Ambush Bug. Problem was IRL people shortened it as a joke and it stuck.

    Try being taken serious when everyone refers to you as "Bush Bug". Took me forever to get it shortened to just Bug.

    When I first started playing online games I went with the name Wildcard, my nickname from my Navy days. I never played poker until I went on deployment one time and I kept calling almost everything under the sun wildcards...thus the name.

    Well, shortly after I got into Tribes I decided that Wildcard was too common a name online. So I chose a name from a series of novels I was reading at the time; The Sword of Truth series. One of the books had the hero trying to find the source of these mysterious deaths that were occuring all over the place. People dying from one small ember that floated onto their body. Children dying from a cup of water. Infants being stillborn because they had no breath in their bodies. It was found out that three demons were inadverantly released into this world; A demon of fire, a demon of air and a demon of water. Their names were Sentrosi (Fire), Vasi (Air) and Reechani (Water). So with a unique name found I chose Sentrosi and have been Sentrosi ever since.

    CrawlingKane DragonWolf

    when i was like 13 I was thinking of a name for the evilness of AIM, and so I was thinking of what i liked around that time and Linkin park was my favorite band. And Crawling was my favorite song. and then Kane was my favorite wrestler but now i don't like either of those, but my other name Metalkane i stuck with Kane because i just like the meaning of the word.

    tribute, warrior; the doubly-accomplished, golden; man, the eastern sky; beautiful - meaning of Kane as in a name. (http://baby-names.adoption.com)

    And Metal came from the music i like now.
