I got "likedcalico" from when I was picking a nickname on msn three years back, I picked Calico but the name was already taken so it left three suggestions for me and I picked one of the options that had 'likedcalico' so that's how I got the alias. The name is based from my cat of what breed she is so that's why I origionally picked Calico but ended up with this name instead.

My nickname is in reference to a dream I once had. I dreamt that Bert from Sesame Street had turned into a werewolf and was eating up everyone who ever bullied me. It's a very empowering name.

Mine is pretty self-explanitory. I'm a Rebel who's obsessed with Classic London, who has a very noticable Cockney Accent for somebody who was raised near the Canada/US Border. It also means, "Save the Routemaster!"

I chose Pluto as I learned about AS around the same time that
Pluto was declared 'a different type of planet' after thinking it
was a normal planet all these years.

Litigious is a somewhat bad translation of the Swedish word rättshaverist. "Rättshaverist" is what the authorities in this country uses to call people who stand up for their rights and will fight as long as possible in a "judicial guerilla war". You don't have to be an aspie to be treated as a rättshaverist. Those of you who understand a little bit Swedish might be able to read the Wikipedia article. It's pretty enlightening.

Kinda 'splains itself I think :wink: . The techstep is d&b/jungle (a particular subgenre I get into) and the genr8tion comes just from a sick idea I got from seeing a pretty good hard trance live PA called TR Generation back in 1999.

My WP name has 2 meanings.

1) It refers to the coined term of Alternative music. Like Alternative Rock?

2) This name also refers to me being Alternative and going around doing things differently and in an "Alternative" way.

I chose this name because I think it's neat. I use it on other forums as well. :wink:

I really don't need to explain this name.

However, the old account it referrs to was 'Iammeandnooneelse' signiyying that I am unique and will not be a conformist and to hell with the consequences.

I've had the name hazard (or variants thereof such as hazard667788, hazard678) on sites I've signed up to for the last 4-5 years. I can't remember exactly why I originally chose hazard as a name, probably because it sounded cool when I was 12 :roll:

Wow, a great opportunity to explain....I have had a couple of PM's wanting to know about mine. There is nothing evil or sinister intended.

BY chance did you watch Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit on HBO with your nephew a few days ago?

<brag>My nick has an entire wikipedia site attributed to itself!</brag>
See for yourselves:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaclypse_The_Younger

And the reason I chose it was because I had had it a long, long time before and initially because I loved the character in Robert Anton Wilson's "The Illuminatus! Trilogy".
