Jesus! This must be the oldest surviving thread!

Ah, my first posts over 2 years ago...

I was Hodad, by the way, the original one. HsFB barely ever posts now.

*sigh*

At least no one did the DL dance the second you posted back then.

Rasputin · October 13, 2001, 12:41

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

(Spoken)
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous
man became louder and louder.

"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead

(Spoken) Oh, those Russians...

"There they had been mustered for the sack of the City and the rape of Gondor, waiting on the call of their Captain. He now was destroyed; but Gothmog the lieutenant of Morgul had flung them into the fray; Easterlings with axes, and Variags of Khand, Southrons in scarlet, and out of Far Harad black men like half-trolls with white eyes and red tounges."

From The Battle of the Pelennor Fields, The Return of the King , The Lord of the Rings

The Captain referred to in the passage was the Lord of the Nazgul.

Six Thousand Year Old Man · October 15, 2001, 19:56

I always thought it was ridiculous when CivI would announce that "(Leader) announces retirement after 6000 year reign". That, and the old Mel Brooks "Thousand Year Old Man" sketch were the dubious inspirations for my moniker.

Oh - and I needed to come up with a nickname fast so I could make my first post!

Bumping my own thread... So I'm a narcisist (however you spell that

)...

New members, new user names. Where did you get yours from?

Alfie's Inn makes fantastic hamburgers, but for some odd reason they're called "loinburgers" instead of hamburgers.

Eli · June 24, 2002, 11:47

My first name.

Dauphin · June 24, 2002, 12:13

I like dolphins, especially for their apparent sagacity.

Alex · June 24, 2002, 12:28

Ah, it is something that pisses me off. I used to have this 'Alexnm' as a user name sometime before, because it is my first name (Alexandre) plus the initials of my surnames (N and M). Only after I registered here is when I noticed that it sounded like "Alex Enema". I hate it. And I can't change it.

Caligastia · June 24, 2002, 12:38

Caligastia-

In the course of this inspection Satan informed Caligastia of Lucifer's then proposed "Declaration of Liberty," and as we now know, the Prince agreed to betray the planet upon the announcement of the rebellion. The loyal universe personalities look with peculiar disdain upon Prince Caligastia because of this premeditated betrayal of trust. The Creator Son voiced this contempt when he said: "You are like your leader, Lucifer, and you have sinfully perpetuated his iniquity. He was a falsifier from the beginning of his self-exaltation because he abode not in the truth."

Caligastia is a nasty being, but I like the name.

narciscistic... I'm not sure narcisist is a word- one can be narciscistic but one cannot be a narcisist?

I assume... I'm probably wrong however.

Short version of name:

My dog's name is Cloud... and I needed a name which would "intimidate"

people on the internet, thus the "Dark" portion was added.

DarkCloud · June 24, 2002, 13:02

Quite an ancient thread

You seem to have bumped it quite often, until recently of course

lightblue · June 24, 2002, 13:27

lightblue is the color of Cambridge University. You get a Blue when you support at a high level in a University sport, which I did, hence lightblue.

- Groucho - · June 24, 2002, 13:35

I was trying to call myself Echidna, but I spelled it wrong. Turns out Echinda is unique to most every board so now I use it everywhere.

Kassiopeia · June 24, 2002, 14:02

Oh well, never hurt to post this twice.

Off the top of my head. Of course, it is the constellation/supernova Cassiopeia, except in Finnish. But there's no real motif. I honestly just invented it to get playing AC on email.
Most people abhorrently mistype the part after the 'si', so I've thought of switching to Kass or Kassi.

-Jrabbit · June 24, 2002, 14:21

Don't do it, Kassiopeia, don't give in!
BTW, I see you're capitalized now... Thought you weren't previously IIRC.

...and mine's just a foreshortening of an old college nickname. Distance runner, long legs, first name Jack. You get the idea.

(Seems I posted this on another thread. How many of these are there???)

Vlad Antlerkov · June 24, 2002, 14:29

Russian version of an old handle of mine.

(Did I post this in the thread already?)

Kassiopeia · June 24, 2002, 15:10

-Jrabbit, right you are, I got sick of the previous version. And virtually anyone used it capitalized, so...
And, I've been lately thinking of "Andrew Halcyon" or just "Halcyon", Halcyon is a cool word, and Andrew Halcyon is practically an English version of my name.

MosesPresley · June 24, 2002, 22:02

Moses Presley was born to a Hebrew slave in Egypt. The Pharaoh heard a prophecy that a baby would grow up to rock the masses. As the Pharaoh hated rock n roll and the sin that was associated with it, he ordered that all baby boys be murdered at birth.

Moses Presley's mother had a plan to save him. She hid him in a basket by the Nile River. The Pharaoh's daughter found Moses and took him home to be raised as one of the family. Moses grew up as an Egyptian prince, but he never forgot he was a Hebrew with a love for rock n roll.

One day an Egyptian gang boss grabbed a slave's headphones from his head. The slave had been listening to "That's Alright Mama" on his walkman. Moses Presley saw this, lost his temper and beat the gang boss to death with his guitar. He had to run away. He ran to Memphis, Egypt, where he stayed at the Heartbreak Hotel. Moses Presley was depressed and was feeling sorry for himself, so he drank and smoked his woes away. One night he heard a deep booming voice. It was God speaking to him from a burning cigarette butt. God told him to stop crying all the time. God told him he must spread the word of rock n roll to the people. Moses Presley was now a mission.

Moses Presley returned to the Pharaoh and rocked the house. He played his top ten hits. The Pharaoh thought it was like a plague to his ears. The slaves seeing this screamed loudly and wanted to hear more, but the MC said that, "Moses has left the building."

The people followed him into the desert. Finally after months of travelling, they came to a mountain.
It was Mt. Billboard. Moses Presley climbed to the top of the mountain and wrote songs with God. He was up there for a long time. So long in fact, his people began to become angry and started to worship false gods, The Golden Fab Four. Moses Presley was enraged and threw his songs at the Golden Fab Four, but it was to no avail. The Golden Four stood and the people continued to worship them too.

Epilogue: Moses Presley in the long run prevailed. He kept a place in his people's hearts. One day God came to him in the bathroom and said it was time to go. Moses Presley had left the building for the last time. Thus a prophet and teen idol was born.

Playa del Carmen · June 24, 2002, 22:26

I was sure I posted in here....

I got Playa del Carmen from the city in Mexico. I've been there a couple of times.

Mr. President · June 25, 2002, 00:35

I've done this at least once before. Oh well.

Mr. President was the name of a reggae-dance artist in the mid-90s. He was a dreadlocked guy from the East Coast who made exactly one hit song and then disappeared.

It also refers to an in-joke I used to have with my social group in Tasmania. They would call me "Mr. President" because I was American and we would joke about pressing the Big Red Button and taking out Iraq. Not very clever, is it? But the sound resonated and the name stuck. Perhaps one day someone will call me Mr. President because I actually am the President. I can dream, can't I?

boann · June 25, 2002, 01:04

Boann .........myth of the Irish water-goddess

Legend has it that once the Irish river Boyne did not exist. Instead, there was only a well, surrounded and overhung by nine hazel-trees bearing the sacred crimson hazel-nuts of wisdom. No mortal humans, and no gods, not even the highest gods, were allowed to eat the hazel-nuts. Only the salmon living in the holy well were given this privilege, and as the nuts fell into the water, the salmon would eat them and immediately know all things.
Only Boann, a curious goddess, dared to approach the sacred well, and as she did so, the waters roiled and rose up, overflowing the pool and rushing at Boann in mighty waves. Boann ran swiftly and escaped, but the waters continued to rush out upon the land, creating the river Boyne, named after the lady Boann.

The wise salmon were washed out of their well by this catastrophe and to this day, they swim up and downstream searching in vain for their hazel-nuts.

Vesayen · June 25, 2002, 09:40

I was playing an mmrpg(asherons call) and made a new guy. I had rescently lead the largest player organized event in the games history(1,400 people- yes it did lag like a mofo) on the Vesayen island chain. When I made a new guy this was still on my mind and I couldnt think of a name so I named my guy Vesayen........it stuck with me when I went to a few asherons call related message boards, and a friend on one of those boards told me about apolyton, so I brought it with me here.

Lorizael · June 25, 2002, 18:59

Wow, the 99ers in this thread are the newbies. So many 69ers. For a fourth time... just so I can post with a multitude of legends...

Lorizael Lomaut the elven conjurer and master of the Grease spell was one of my first characters and by far my favorite. He had so many uses for the grease spell that he... created his own version! And he was the elf in the adventuring group: The Druid, The Elf, and The Dog.

Carolus Rex · June 26, 2002, 04:11

Ok, I'll bite.

99ers? 69ers?

Please, explain to a slowthinking man who's had too little sleep and too much trouble lately...

Carolus

Lorizael · June 26, 2002, 04:17

... those that registered in 1999 or 1969 (though I know they didn't actually register in 1969).

I would have thought people would have asked about The Dog as a member of an adventuring party.
