And here I thought it was a Superbad reference.  :P
ARGH!

I used to get that so often, you don't even know. Thankfully, the general public seems to have completely forgotten about that movie and no longer thinks my username is a reference to it. ;)

I remember perusing the tv.com forums a couple of years ago on a school computer, and a post of yours came up. One of my friends made the connection, too.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Tom calls us fans the Toonami Faithful. Well, I just chipped off the "ami" part from "Toonami" and there you have it.

Katie Holt

This is my actual name, heh. Well, not my -real- name, but the nickname I've had literally my entire life. There's a long story to it that I don't feel like typing out though.

tweet me if you wish

now back after a long absence with a different display name. yeah

Neomysterion X. Prime

The Neo in my name comes from Neopets, and the Mysterion really comes from that Mysterion guy from South Park (happened while reseaching Mysterion, while I thought that I made that word up).

Waiiiiit... so Beau isn't your real name?



Had me fooled. =P

Dr. Ensatsu-ken

So, I've been thinking of changing my username after all of these years. As I've said its completely lame and I picked it years ago because I couldn't think of anything better. Well, at the very least its unique enough in that I'm fairly certain that nobody else on the Internet has the same user-name as me. That said, since everyone recognizes me by this name already does anyone think that I even should bother changing it, now?

I got confused for a good five minutes when Chalmy and Desen changed their usernames, but I got used to them pretty quickly. I think I'll always think of them as having their original names, though. Go ahead and change yours if you want, but I'll still remember you as being Ensatsu-ken. :P

Even though my name comes from playing StarCraft on dial-up in the late 90's, apparently means Fox x Eagle furry porn according to DeviantArt, makes people think I named myself after Superbad, and is associated with some old posts on past forums I'm particularly embarrassed of, I doubt I'll ever change it.

Dr. Ensatsu-ken

Heh, Part of the reason that I haven't changed my username up until now is because I completely lack any sense of creativity and can't think of anything clever to come up with, so I just find it easier to stay at my current username. Its not like it really matters all that much, anyways, since at least my current one is easy for everyone to abbreviate as just EK, and being that I am a huge YYH fan even to this day, it at least fits my tastes well enough I suppose. Besides, if I were to change my username it would just go from being a lame YYH reference to a lame Ninja Gaiden reference. :P

If you feel like a change; go for it!

You're still the same person to me no matter what I call you, so pick whatever you like.

Oh come on, it couldn't have been that hard to figure out.

Didn't take you for a Scott Pilgrim fan, though.

I've talked about it before.
