Explain your username

Nosferatu

ha, I think you mean "Awooga!" clever pun

He doesn't post much.

:( I was just hoping he couldn't spell.. oh well I posted a link to the stories anyways

I ain't got much time for John Fashanu, but Kriss Akabussi is a fncking leged. IMO.

Or... I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.

please don't - i have that on my other arm!

Nice one Horatio, just watched the Werner Herzog one and was hoping to track that down. Class.

Oh and my username is from a comic where eating seeds make someone "a bit fucking violent".

I used to call myself rodriquezseeds on the internet but people kept assuming that I was siesta-taking, cafe culture European and wondering why I was such an arsehole.

I watched both versions in a row about 10 years ago. Haven't watched either since.

And Kinski was such a fucking nut. A talented German version of Christian Bale.

I think I'd have threatened to shoot him, too.

Really want to read his autobiography. Apparently it's just as nuts as you would expect.

Kinski has to be one of the worst actors of all time.

Getafix is the druid in Asterix. Gat-a-fix can mean a couple of different things.

When I was about 12 I first got Internet access at home and needed to think of a Hotmail username. Made this like "eeeehhhhhh' noise (it's more of an ergggh, rather than aaaeeehhhh as in air) and in 8 or so years never got round to thinking up something better!

It was only when I started uni people started calling me by nicknames - Angry/Angers (I'm not an angry person - long story!) or Chunky (even though I'm pretty lanky, because my diet in my first year consisted of snakebite and KitKat chunkies). Maybe should use one of them. People are always puzzled when I get introduced as Angry though...

Bavksi is an old nickname which is a bastardisation of my real name.

One of my mates used to do this with everyone's name and my nickname evolved thus:

Dave Cole
Davil Knavil (like that daredevil with the pretty helmet)
Bovril Knovril (adding a bit of that 'popular' warm drink in there)
Bavski Knavski (making it sound a bit more Russian or something)

The names this guy used to call me may have evolved further, but it was the Bavski thing that stuck. Snore.

Obviously short for Marisa minus the extra S. An ex back in the day gave it to me and it just kinda stuck. Now that everyone just calls me Riss, I normally just introduce myself that way. Most people don't even know my real name, so I don't bother.

My name is James and I am Crazy.....

Kinski has to be one of the worst actors of all time.

He's a genius! But maybe not as an actor.

Squoocher is a squirrel. As fish is foocher, cat coocher, dog doocher, duck-billed platypus dooch-booched ploochypooch etc. I like squirrels and regularly go squooching, ie feeding them

Where on earth did you dig that up? Now that is early... that's what I used to have on chifg and bikeforums.

Ha, I have a PM on bikeforums still that is you telling me about this new forum from when I was in Aus.

right my name is Harvey and the numbers come from the grade of chrome-molybdenum used on most BMX bikes, I have been into BMX since 1983. Inceidently my daughter is called Molly after chro-moly (see above) and son is Lewis (Lew) after an extremely cool BMX mag editor and maybe after Glynn Lewis (the toothless DP rider back in the day).

Slightly related I am not sure about BMX companies jumping on the fixed bandwagon after all the hoohar of MTB companies putting out BMXs to cash in seems a bit hypocritical......

Business name

'Sharkstar' comes from the cartoon character in Wacky Races, Penelope Pitstop. It's pronounced "Penelope Pitstop".
