[Rhisiart]

I just got to know why Thank The Cheese is called Thank The Cheese. It's got to be one of the best usernames on this forum. Unless anyone thinks otherwise?

[bobw]

Well, enlighten the rest of us.

[Rhisiart]

My handle 'rhisiart' is simply my name in Welsh (Richard). Dull username really. I wish I had gone for something more creative, such as ... well ..... Thank The Cheese.

[eric2006]

Well, not quite as bad as mine. What can I say? Eric was taken. Eric2006 was not.

[JetwingX]

i'd like to think my name is creative and original (except for the fact that some one else had the name before me... o_0)

[RacerX]

For those who don't know who RacerX is... he is the name of a character in an animated series called Speed Racer. RacerX is the identity assumed by Rex Racer, Speed Racer's older brother, when he becomes estranged from his family.

The reason I use this name in pretty much all the forums I am a member of is that my history parallels that of Rex Racer in a lot of ways.

Of the 13 forums I'm a member of, only 2 of them do I go by something other than RacerX (I go by Shaw in those... for the most boring of reasons).

[Esquilinho]

Esquilinho means "little squirrel" in Portuguese - my boyfriend says I look like a little squirrel, that's why

[Lt Major Burns]

mine is short for Lt Major Rupert Percival "Dickie" Charlteston-Burns, which came from a time when we all gave ourselves World War 1-esque english officers names. not sure why, but another example was something like Flight Squadron Leader Arthur "Chestnut" Cecil Camrose.

i particularly like General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett, which was Stephen Fry's charachter in Blackadder Goes Forth.
