The first part of my name came from the ninja clan from the anime "Naruto"(couldn't think of anything else :) ). The second part of my name is from my last name "Papa" which means potato in spanish.

"Velvet_ice" came along when I got all frustrated while signing up for some other forum which was so popular, almost all the names I'd wanted were taken.
same story here...but i try to sign up for email add...
and i hate using username with number on the back...so i try to create it myself...and now i use it for every sign up registration on internet
it nothing to do with my name or nickname :mrgreen:
I used to go by FunkyYounky because that was my nickname when I was kid. I used that as my AIM sn, my e-mail address, my forum names, etc. etc.
Eventually, though, I got sick of embaressing myself whenever people asked for my e-mail or AIM sn in person.
Them: "So what's your e-mail address?"
Me: "Umm...Fun-kee Young-Kee...."
Them: "Hmm...what was that?"
Me: "Fung-kee Yung-kee...."
Them: "What?"
Me: "How bout you just call me instead..."
So ya, I was looking for a new sn, and I chanced upon a korean song on my winamp list called Ghil by GOD. It actually means "road" in korean, and is misspelled in the translation (should be Gil), but I like it all the same.
no la..... ;)
actually ..... is Lim Qui Li......
but this name is not my real name....this is my chinese name..
....hahaa...if i said about real name..maybe........................

My nick is very very old from irc, it's when my brother and I were laughing and wondering what would be the cheesiest nick.. hehe But then it stuck!
My avatar is me :P
My nickname "groink" was first used as a verb/noun/etc. during my IRC days in the late 1980's. Sort of similar in use as the word "guber" or "smurf", as in "I went drinking with some friends last night, and I got royally groinked."
My true handle is "The Mac Geek", which everyone in the Apple Macintosh community know me as. However, when I work with Jdorama-related stuff, I chose to use "groink" rather than the geek to separate the two concentrations when I associate with people.
Also, my Hawaii State license plate is "GROINK". Funny as hell when I enter Pearl Harbor... The guard always ask, "What the heck is GROINK?????"

But I'm actually a very nice guy. :applaud:
But I'm 178 cm and 95 kg full of muscle and a Yi Chuan expert, so don't mess with me! :hehe:
UWF (ƒ†ƒjƒo[ƒTƒ‹EƒŒƒXƒŠƒ“ƒOEƒtƒFƒfƒŒ[ƒVƒ‡ƒ“) was a Western-style pro-wrestling company in Japan from 1984 to 1996. Shooter is a generic term for a pro wrestler who can do realistic moves (from college/Olympic wrestling, judo, kickboxing, karate, etc. Pretty much what Hulk Hogan cannot do, for those WWF/E fools), which the UWF roster specialized in doing. Puroresu, or Japanese-made Western-style professional wrestling, is another Japanese TV product I like to watch. (BTW, my avatar is UWF founder ‘O“c“ú–¾ Maeda Akira.)
A tribute to my math teacher during the junior high back then :) This isn't the original nick, it's gone under several changes and revises durin the half decade.
for my nick, I onced used [O]r4nGe for a period of time in IRC. I think I chose orange coz' I remember seeing someone in a drama using Orange as a name but I forgot who... The other reason is becoz I like the colour itself... ^_^
Even my classmates in poly call me Orange instead of my real name. :sweat:
I think I used orenji as my nick in most forums that I joined... :hehe:

^-^ hope you'll be able to go there, and tell me then, cause perhaps we could meet (I'm living in the west part of Austria) ;)
Where my nick came from? Well, I wanted to join a forum, but therefore I need a nick ... so right at that moment I was eating a "milky way" and I also had the radio on and they played this song called "drops of jupiter" from "Train" which I loved, and you always here the word "milky way" in the song XD
So I decided that it is fate to be my virtual name ;)
and later I noticed that larc has also a song called "milky way" which I really like, so this name is really perfect for me and I use it everywhere in the i-net ^-^
