Oh yeah... I guess you're right.

my username (yaney) came from my nickname, coz "arianne" is my real name which i don't use too often coz here there a lot of girls who have the same name as mine and i want to be different. my officemate calls me yaney that i just made a little change on the spelling it was supposedly spelled as "yani" hahaha.

My wife used to remark on my mischievousness. "Itazura" was one of the first Japanese words I learned from her. :)

Mine comes from my favourite comic of all time, Cerebus the Aardvark. It had 300 issues and is supposed to be the longest running comic book ever by one creative team in English, an extraordinary achievement. It was very important to me when it was being released and the first 200 issues are about the best thing I've ever read. The art and lettering could be stunning. It also had the best letters page in comics. Unfortunately the quality really declined when the writer Dave Sim, who was already a bit of a acid casualty, invented his own religion and used the comic as its mouthpiece.

From spending a weekend in lock-up in Tijuana :sweat:

Reminds me of the movie The Game: "I was drugged, beaten, and left for dead in Mexico and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!"

I got the idea from Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy / The Tawny Man Trilogy. One of the characters name is Fool. (like a jester.)
