How did you come up with it? What does it mean? Any special references? Was it something else before? Why'd you change it?

Mark Renton aka Rents aka the Rent Boy from the popular novel Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh, one of my favorites I might add. There were so many aspects of this character that I related to, I couldn't help but make it my handle. Plus I'm obsessed with Scotland a wee bit (finally going this fall!!!). Some of my friends are starting to call me this too, so pretty soon it'll basically be my name. Smile Big

Hell yes, on my way there this September. By this time next year, perhaps I'll be able to chat with you and Becks about football, though from what I hear I'll have an easier time with rugby.

This is a little known fact: (as I seem to almost always put only my nickname...even in PMs)

My first name is Adam. Hence "a"
My last name is 12 letters long, the first six of which are "Heffel"
so, you get..."aheffel"

It won't be by choice, Wes, it's just that I've heard that rugby plays a predominant role in Aberdeen society. Damn, I totally sound like a nerd there. Anyway, I've been a soccer kid most of my life, so now I just need to make the move to football. Shouldn't be too hard, right?

goddam. rugby is horseshit.
a bunch of sweaty, well built shore guys that wear over-tight shorts and run and run and run and run and run.. you get the idea.

nae taff', when youre in Aberdeen, do you gotta support the Dons- Aberdeen football club. Philip McGuire and Kevin McNaughton rule. And if Hicham Zeraouli is still there- oh man, stick with them. Sod fucking Glasgow Rangers!

and Knoxville, for you.

Alright, I'll do my best, my friend. I think I'll be keeping a blog while I'm over there or something (I haven't looked into it yet), so you'll be able to check in on me whenever you feel like it. Perhaps I'll have Philip and Kevin post guest entries, just for you. Wouldn't that be slick?

Now, everybody, back on subject. What does your call sign mean?

re: Frogs

the Facts:
- Rents apolgized to Rip Purr for subverting the purpose of the thread
- Rip Purr has a frog/toad in his avatar
- Frogs are amphibians and quite wet

the Inference:
- because frogs are amphibians, theres quite a chance they dont think or feel much-- and theyre sticky, so i was telling Rents- not to worry about apologizing to him.

now Knoxville, go eat some more pills.

i've been waiting for this thread. i've been wondering where everyone's sn comes from.

i was signing up for a hotmail account a while ago and "ConfessionalPoet" which is my usual nick, was taken, and so was every other damn thing, and i hate being "ConfessionalPoet245219" or whatfuckingever, like hey!! look at my email address and tell just how unoriginal i am! so i'd been having problems with insomnia, so i decided to go with "insomniac". well you can imagine how many ppl have signed up with a common-ish word like that. so i tried out different combinations till my best friend leaned over and just typed in insomnomaniac. et voila! it worked! so yeah.

so i decided to use that same name here, just so i could remember it easily.

but i was in the chat and ppl were having trouble with typing out "insomnomaniac"--too many vowels, you know. dennis was like, "give me something else to call you!!"

so. years and years ago i was signing up for the nin.com message board. again, everything i thought of at first was taken. so finally i was like, ok, let's try this. what's my favorite animal? a cat. and my favorite color? blue. so i went with KittyBlue (that's still my sn over there btw). ever since then my online alias has been kitty (no, it's not my real name...). so when dennis demanded that i give him something simpler to call him, i went with kitty. since then it's definitely been easier for ppl to call me that. also, of course, there's the fact that for some reason when i went as insomnomaniac ppl seemed to think i was a guy all the time. with "kitty" it's pretty clear. mostly.

and yes, i tried being just kitty, but someone took that sn here and it's "aggressively protected" even though i've *NEVER* seen a post from a "kitty". have you?

Hey Insomnomaniac, fuck that Kitty shit. I like your current nickname way better. Kitty makes me think of the mom on That 70's Show.

My nickname came about because after having watched Goodfellas, my friends and I started calling each other Fucko's. Its in the scene where Henry Hill pistol whips that one dude who tried getting all freaky with his woman. Right before Henry hits the guy, the guy throws up his arms and says, "what are you gonna do Fucko?!" A most classic line!
