Dark Star is John Carpenter's first and finest film...recommended viewing!

Remembered more for Dan O'Bannon and John Carpenter's screenplay than for the film itself, though the inspired final shot of the crewman surfing into the planet's amosphere to the tune of 'Benson, Arizona' does tend to linger in the memory.
A precursor to Ridley Scott's 'Alien', for which O'Bannon wrote the original screenplay (and nearly got cut out of the loop on - watch the 'making of' docco on the new issue Alien DVD).

Arkady Renko was the Militia Investigator in the book Gorky Park. RKD also stands for Rob Knight Digital Photography...

Haven't we done all this before? And not all that long ago either...:thinking:

I've just finished another book (Dogs Eat Wolves) by the same author with Arkady Renko in it, so I guessed that was where it came from. Strangely enough Arkady is the name of a character in The Ambler Warning by Robert Ludlum which I have just started reading. Two books in a row with an Arkady in them - yikes! :nono:

Mine comes from my golfing prowess - or lack thereof! :D
 
I had a vague (nothing unusual there!) feeling that there was a thread a while back that started talking about something else and then morphed into online ID's and the reason for them. Don't remember a specific thread though I must admit.
 
Yes, there was a thread some time ago about how we all got our usernames :p Lots of newbies since then though.

Minimeeze stems from when I used to own 2 siamese cats (otherwise known as 'meezers'). The oldest of the two was nicknamed Meeze, and the kitten was 'minimeeze', hence my username. Anywhere you see minimeeze on the net, it's probably me ;)
 
Mine comes from a line in the Marillion song 'Bitter Sweet' (see below), this is the only place I use this nick, other places I am goosecreature (Monty Python), arsehicks (say it fast and it tells you what bike I ride) or just plain old andy. Oh and some online game nicks are smog, snotgobbler, zed and tgr, i get bored easily with names and keep changing them :)

And NO ... that is not where I stole it ... :lol:


Honest ... :D













:p
 
well in another life I was empressrenee. Which came from when I did tarot readings and the empress was my card. I thought that was a bit to juvinile so now I'm boring and use my real name.
 
So come on Ven, I don't believe you've told us where Venomator comes from yet :p :D

I just googled for me and found me on the "other side" (Pixalo). Christ it's like De ja vu.

How many of you guys are on multiple forums? How do you find the time!

So persuasive and masterful Joe ... :razz:

Well ... :thinking:

We have a long-running reptilian interest ... and used to watch Venom ER when it first started on Animal Planet et al ... :eek:

... and I particularly find the colour and variety of the worlds venomous species fascinating ... and they really are superbly designed and adapted creatures :love:

Anyway ... I wanted a username/password a long time ago and went through the thought processes ... Venomer ... and all the permutations through to Venom Mate ... and it finally became what it is today and has been for many years now ... :D ... simple really ... :p

Thankfully ... it was fairly unique originally and I managed to get it in as a user name on almost all sites ... even Nikon UK ... ;)

Funny thing is I originally had it as my MSN user name and then completely forgot ... ended up having to re-register for one reason and another ... then it wouldn't let me have Venomator because it was already taken ... :bang:

Oh ... and we have kept (and do keep !) many different ... but non-venomous and equally fascinating species at home ... for quite a while now ... :nuts:


And another thing ... for some reason my favourite one is Green ... :p

Cobblers! 'Not a mover' is an anagram of Venomator, that's more like it!

Mine was shamelessly stolen by my mate's timdp. I also go by cykey / cyk but I felt they were a bit too gamer for a photography forum so I wanted something a bit more mature. Crazy as that sounds with you folks :p

My uncle got blown up on that ship, he would've copped it if he had been a bit further away from the impact point of the shell.... as it was, he just had leg injuries.

I'm Pink Fairy after the obscure rock band the Pink Fairies (early 70's drug-fuelled free festival band)
 
Mine is curry related! The Indian restaurant I used to go to couldn't pronounce my name 'Beverley' and would always call me 'Babley' somehow it got shorten to 'Bubbs' and has kind of stuck :shrug:
 
Evening all,

Someone asked where I got my username as it seems to have no relation to my real name!

Well, I have been known on the 'web' for the past 5/6 years by the same name but I decided it was about time I got myself a new username! This isn't a very happy tale but I'll keep it brief.

DRB are the initials of my late partner who sadly passed away in June 2005. He loved photography and since he's been gone I'm out there doing it for the both of us! So thats it...no relation to my real name (Natalya) but the most important initials in my life! :)

Cheers,

Natalya :)
 
Had mine for a very long time, since the days of CD radio.

It came originally from when I competed in white water racing, I used to have a white buoyancy aid and a white top. The first time I got a top 3 place in a division A ranking event a friend kept calling my flyer. So white top and a flyer = Whiteflyer :lol:

Damn that must have be around 1980
 
Online gaming name and forum username for many years, all over the show

Oops ... :bang: ... sorry to hear that Natalya ... :( ... kinda makes me wish I hadn't asked ... :coat:

Hope I didn't upset you ... was not the intention ... ;)

We're mostly just naturally nosey here ... well I am anyway ... the others may pretend not to be ... :naughty:

Anyway ... :welcome: once again and sorry for the baptism of fire ... :nuts:
