Was watching I think Pink panther and from that I got the name "SmokeBandit" from the scene when Steve Martin's character "stops" the guys robbing the casino (the Smoke Bandits). I then just made it bandit to make it a short cool noun tag. ;D

I tend to drink alot of Iced Tea. One Day, an Mmorpg asked me for a character name. As I drank my Iced Tea, I thought about a name. But one just did not come in to my head. And when they did, they would always be taken. So, I tried IcedTea. It was not taken. That changed my gaming life forever. Hahaha.
It's the sound I make when I eat lots of bread.
I ate allot of bread in my last year of school, I changed schools on the last year and not many people remembered my name, so they referred to me as Nom because it was easier. It's sometimes Nommi because many games have a 5 char min and it's closer to my name, Naomi
Was thinking for a while, and thought of the word "cynic" and how sometimes I am one with my occassional pessimism then I thought if I cut the second "c" and replace with an "x" it'd sound cool. Thus CyniX. kekeke
Waaay back when Highschool was the only worry of life, my grade had 4-5 people with the same first name (everyone one of those 'Chris's' was referred to with a nickname to avoid confusion). I'm quite tall (6ft7") and I was relatively timid compared to the ADD riddled others. So my mates at school (all those years ago) referred to me as 'Lurch' from the Adams family. It stuck, it took about a week before the staff and persons who didn't know me were referring to me as Lurch. So naturally I started using it.
As a kid I was a big DBZ fan. Because of this when I made my broodwar account I was Bardock. However as I grew older I got a little sick of it and shortened it to Bard
There is a story/myth that really resonates with me about how people are stuck in thier beliefs and rarely reevaluate things. When presented with evidence or logic that contradicts thier world view they will either dismiss it or come up with absurd justifications.
From wikipedia:
Quote:
"A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!""
Hence the username "infinite turtles" was born
Having to resort to the world turtle standing on another turtle which stands on yet ANOTHER turtle ad infinitum at first made me laugh but then realise that we are all guilty of things like this. It reminds me of the importance of always questioning your own beliefs and always seeking for knowledge that questions those beliefs.
However it was a very long name and would run into character limits so it then became "infiniteturtles" and then "finiteturtles" and even that was too long for some character limits so now it has become "turtles".
