Just Wondering....

[CheshireKatt]

Mine's a slight permutation on the spelling of the Cheshire Cat from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland / Through The Looking Glass. I initially started using this in the BBS days, and so snazzied it up a bit.

I always liked the Cat's rather insane ramblings -- Carroll is a good read, even if he was high on opium when he was writing. <GRIN>

[Resident Alien]

That's how the INS in the USA labels entities from other lands who are working in the States on various work visas. I could have moved to Philadelphia from Alpha Centauri, or from England........and I would be a Resident Alien in either case.

[Oggy ben Doggy]

Mine's a nickname from college. It was that, or Oggy Ogbourn

[Taqwus]

*shrug*

My nick on this board comes from American Indian mythology -- chosen from Online mythological references after some amount of searching. Might have chosen Tlaloc instead, but I decided to opt for something more obscure...

Most of the nicks I use (one board, one nick) come from either mythology or literature, usually with connotations of mischief, deceit, or sometimes outright evil.

[Noble713]

My name, and I like the number 713.

[Droplede]

Mine's a newspaper editing catchphrase for when the "lead" of a story (the key summary paragraph, usually right at the top, spelled all funny in newspaper fashion) is dropped down farther into the story than usual, like past the fifth paragraph. A droplede can be a feature (a surprise for the reader) or a bug (when the writing sucks and takes forever to get to the point). Guess which is more common.

[Dracus]

Dracus is the leader of the Dragons (Which also is the same a Draco or dracul and can also be a derive from dracula). I have used this name for 9 years now. As for SEIV, it fits for the leader of the Draconian Empire from the constallation Draco.
