[malevolent]

Just a random 'badass' sounding username, chosen only because this is not an anonymous forum, I haven't used it anywhere else, I do not really reuse my nicknames and passwords unless it's something really unimportant (throw-away emails or accounts to access some forum content).

[Mushroomized]

MUSHROOMIZED / MASHROOMIZED

This status ailment is induced by mushrooms who scatter their spores and make you grow a mushroom on your head. While affected, you will be somewhat confused and will sometimes attack your allies. Also, while on the map, you will walk in funky directions, as the controller gets messed up.

[NestEggNessy]

Let me tell you a story. I'd always been a responsible person with money. I worked long hours, day and night, just to get the check and pay the bills for this run down apartment i can barley afford. Also, the wife had been without a job for some time now but had the appetite of a six figure earner. Boy did that broad really burn a hole in my pocket. Either way, between the rent and the gold digging wife i was usually left in the middle of no money. So i spent a month putting together a plan to make me some extra cash, maybe get out of this dump and get the wife a boob job. I heard about bitcoin mining and it caught my fancy and after putting some time researching it i decided to lay my nest egg. Now you see, you can help me recoup this initial payment. Ima just need bout' tree-fiddy.

misspelling(or spelled as pronounced) of a Danish chocolate drink by the name of Cocio.

So is your name pronounced with an English J, like kok-Joe, or is it like a German J (an English Y), like kok-Yo? And is it a long o or short o (first syllable like English Coke or Cock)?

I think I've used the name almost half my life now. I was young and came up with the name based on a character in a book. I don't use it much anymore but decided to use it here.

[RandomQ]

So RandomQ....


I made a program in BASIC maybe 18 Years ago, that displayed nothing but different colored "Q" in random places on the screen.

I used it as my screen saver, so I got the nick name RandomQ.

I've had more birthday cakes with RandomQ than Jon

I used to have RandomQ on my license plate also, but I drive too fast to have custom plates on my car 

[Vandroiy]

I had been alone 'till the madman came along
with the knowledge and a silver long beard
He was the first man ever teaching
how I could be free
Helping me to find to the mind and to the soul
They've been trying to hide 'em away
And he promised we'd help Anna
if I'd help him to go all the way


Go all the way into the world of minds
Open the gate and do not close behind
Prevent them from hiding the light away
Prevent them from telling us tales
Or the end of all they scare us with
will be a million empty brains



Users recognize it sometimes, and when I'm overly dramatic again, tell me to tone down on epic music while speculating. To no avail, of course.



Edit: I just noticed that using Google might lead toward an upload with shitty audio. Use this one instead.

Joey: You are Kareem! I've seen you play. My dad's got season tickets.

Roger Murdock: ROGER MURDOCK. I'm an airline pilot.
Joey: I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense.
Joey: And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs.
Roger Murdock: [breaking character] The hell I don't! LISTEN KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

[theymos]

I made it up for a fantasy role-playing game when I was 13 or 14, and then used it for every browser-based game I played. I ended up using it for every site so I wouldn't have to remember multiple usernames. It's supposed to sound like an appropriate name for a wizard or something.

It's nice and unique, but I sometimes wish that I had chosen something more meaningful.

Lots of people own pieces of paper with my username printed on them.

Its a character from a Terry Pratchett Discworld novel. I chose it because it is obscure so it probably wasn't taken. Cool story, eh?

it was a nickname given to me while I was in the Cornhusker Marching Band (1992).  I played sousaphone.
 
During tryouts (I was an incoming freshman to UNL) I found a feather on the field and stuck it in my hat for good luck.  The tuba line leader started calling me "tonto" (after the Native American "Tonto" in "The Lone Ranger") and it stuck

Sure, you do. You had the imagination to impersonate a woman on the bitcoin forum. Let me guess. Next, you'll tell us all how you're NOT a libertarian and DON'T like Battlestar Galactica.

As far as the rest, think what you like.  I don't care that you're pretending to be a man OR that you like Battlestar Galactica.  I'm here to learn about bitcoins

What about in Bird Law? Also: plead or pleaded?

/hijack

plead v. pleaded:  It's one of those things where there is one that is correct and there is one that is commonly used.  If I'm writing in a brief, or something along those lines, I'll use the word pleaded, which is actually the correct usage.  Plead (past tense, pronounced pled) is technically wrong, but it's what most people say.  Orally, I'll probably end up saying plead just out of habit, and no one would ever correct me over that (I would hope not, anyway). 

All I'm saying about bird law, is that bird law is not governed by reason.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvSx7-CTTl4

get out your chemistry books.  

I am currently working on a synthesis using C₁₂H₁₉N and C₉H₁₃N as starting materials. (Those are 2,6-diisopropylaniline and 2,4,6-trimethylaniline, probably not quite what your name is referencing )

I might in the near future use C₁₀H₁₅N (2,6-diethylaniline) for the same synthesis to make an intermediately bulky product.
