I get fed up with "user name already taken" too. The only name I'm usually allowed first time is my 'real' name. Guess nobody wants it!!! <Myhawwwwww> :bigcry:

[AliBlahBlah]

I have a good name :)

It comes from the Elephant Alibahbah :)

I loved that little guy :cry:

[Brocken]

Hardly anyone has the name Brocken in RL so anywhere i sign up for anything, its never take :E

[Sar]

I think mine looks perfectly normal.

BTW: I found out the other day the word SAR actually means Supreme Ruler in Sumerian (The Sumerian culture was the first civilisation in recorded history).

And my name David means King of Kings in Jewish.

[Pixie Pete]

I'm both eccentric and weird :)

[Waller]

It has been established long before today that I am eccentric and weird, but that has nothing to do with my 'stupid' nickname.

[Gunga_Din]

My name was an act of desperation

[Custodian]

My name is nothing weird...but I thought I would mention my favourite. There is someone posting (or has posted) as "i bent my wookie" :laugh:

[Brocken]

yeah, well my name is a mountain in Germany :P

[Gunga_Din]

Well, the real place my name comes from is a poem by Rudyard Kipling. And if I may be allowed I would like to share a literary(?spelling?) masterpiece with you all.

YOU may talk o' gin an' beer
When you're quartered safe out 'ere,
An' you're sent to penny-fights an' Aldershot it;
But if it comes to slaughter
You will do your work on water,
An' you'll lick the bloomin' boots of 'im that's got it.
Now in Injia's sunny clime,
Where I used to spend my time
A-servin' of 'Er Majesty the Queen,
Of all them black-faced crew
The finest man I knew
Was our regimental bhisti, Gunga Din.

It was "Din! Din! Din!
You limping lump o' brick-dust, Gunga Din!
Hi! slippy hitherao!
Water, get it! Panee lao!
You squidgy-nosed old idol, Gunga Din!"

The uniform 'e wore
Was nothin' much before,
An' rather less than 'arf o' that be'ind,
For a twisty piece o' rag
An' a goatskin water-bag
Was all the field-equipment 'e could find.
When the sweatin' troop-train lay
In a sidin' through the day,
Where the 'eat would make your bloomin' eyebrows crawl,
We shouted "Harry By!"
Till our throats were bricky-dry,
Then we wopped 'im 'cause 'e couldn't serve us all.

It was "Din! Din! Din!
You 'eathen, where the mischief 'ave you been?
You put some juldee in it,
Or I'll marrow you this minute,
If you don't fill up my helmet, Gunga Din!"

'E would dot an' carry one
Till the longest day was done,
An' 'e didn't seem to know the use o' fear.
If we charged or broke or cut,
You could bet your bloomin' nut,
'E'd be waitin' fifty paces right flank rear.
With 'is mussick on 'is back,
'E would skip with our attack,
An' watch us till the bugles made "Retire."
An' for all 'is dirty 'ide,
'E was white, clear white, inside
When 'e went to tend the wounded under fire!

It was "Din! Din! Din!"
With the bullets kickin' dust-spots on the green.
When the cartridges ran out,
You could 'ear the front-files shout:
"Hi! ammunition-mules an' Gunga Din!"

I sha'n't forgit the night
When I dropped be'ind the fight
With a bullet where my belt-plate should 'a' been.
I was chokin' mad with thirst,
An' the man that spied me first
Was our good old grinnin', gruntin' Gunga Din.

'E lifted up my 'ead,
An' 'e plugged me where I bled,
An' 'e guv me 'arf-a-pint o' water—green;
It was crawlin' an' it stunk,
But of all the drinks I've drunk,
I'm gratefullest to one from Gunga Din.

It was "Din! Din! Din!
'Ere's a beggar with a bullet through 'is spleen;
'E's chawin' up the ground an' 'e's kickin' all around:
For Gawd's sake, git the water, Gunga Din!"

'E carried me away
To where a dooli lay,
An' a bullet come an' drilled the beggar clean.
'E put me safe inside,
An' just before 'e died:
"I 'ope you liked your drink," sez Gunga Din.
So I'll meet 'im later on
In the place where 'e is gone—
Where it's always double drill and no canteen;
'E'll be squattin' on the coals
Givin' drink to pore damned souls,
An' I'll get a swig in Hell from Gunga Din!

Din! Din! Din!
You Lazarushian-leather Gunga Din!
Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

Wasn't the elephant called Babar? Ali Baba was that eastern bloke who somehow outwitted the forty thieves. It's a while since I read either story but my memory for names is usually good :)

[Mori]

As for my own name, it's the stupidest and least witty or memorable name ever, but it was the one that got made a moderator so I'm stuck with it :)
