Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Tanus was a character in the book River God, by Wilbur Smith. Just liked the name when I read it, and have used it ever since.

Atrocities - Because it sounded threatening and such for use with MP games like Tribes, Diablo, Quake (1 and 2), etc.

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Well, there was an episode of Pinky and The Brain where Pinky's weird exclamative words saved the day. They had been captured by an evil computer who claimed to know everything; The Brain asked it what Narf meant. The computer didn't know and asked what it meant. The Brain then informed the computer that Narf meant Poit. Then the computer asked what Poit meant. TB said it meant Chez. The computer asked what Chez meant. The Brain said Narf. And the computer went round and round until it blew up.
I saw that episode the day before I signed up, I think.

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
DarkHorse is for my poly sci major in college. The dark horse candidate is usually the long-shot underdog type, which suits me. It's a hard nick to get on most forums though, as the name is popular because of the comics.

Finally the truth comes out. For the longtest time I thought it was French for something, until I tried to get google to translate it

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
When I was still an active member of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism), I started a fighing unit of heavy fighters. The name of the unit was to be Bearclaw. Archers were to be called Teeth of the Bear. I took the name because where I live, our town mascot is the Kermode bear, a rare spieces of black bear that has white fur that only live in this part of the world. The fighting unit never got anywhere but I started using the name (with a small 'b') Online.
For those who don't know, the SCA is a mediveal recreation club.

Chances are there is a chapter near you.
Oh, and incase you were wondering, the Kermodi bear is NOT an albino. It is an actual sub-species of black bear.
