Foo - What's your BF name mean?

forgive me if there's already a thread for this (yes, I did search the forums...gave up after about 30 pages of search)
Anyway... so many cool names. I'm curious what they mean?

Artifice = ingenuity; cunning; inventiveness; a clever trick or stratagem; trickery; guile; crartiness....

Mine is very cryptic and almost impossible to figure out. Good Luck.

heh - I've been trying to figure it out for years... :)

+1...but I do beach it sometimes...

Mine is ancient Aramaic for Wright House Dad. ;)

quoth the raven.........

Mines pretty easy - its a combination of words from Poe's poem "The Raven".

When I first got on the internet with AOL a bazillion years ago they required a username of course, and also of course my actual name and every variation of it had already been taken. So I started trying things like favorite tv shows, movies, ect... None were available and I was getting frustrated, so I tried "Raven" (favorite poem). It was taken too. I had it at that point and just threw "more" on the end of it ("quoth the Raven 'never more'") and the rest is history. :)

quoth the raven.........

heh- I was typing my explanation during your post. Much less long winded of you. ;)

I used to belong to very small club that was once composed of an equally small number of people and we called ourselves "sixty fivers" since we shared the same model year (1965).

The user name was taken in memory of my dearest friend (another 65'r) who passed away very unexpectedly nearly three years ago... and her memory still inspires me daily.

making is my initials and last name

and here i thought you were stating your age.

I was named after my imaginary godfather.

I came up with the name when I was part of a christian mountain bike team.

You can figure out the rest.

Oh, and it has all the letters of my first name, Erik.

When I played baseball the coaches would call us by our last names, however they just called me by the first 3 characters of my last name, hos, pronounced like the Bonanza character Hoss. 13 was my jersey number, thus "hos13".

Was your favorite trick the cross up?

Cytotech

found BF when I was busy promoting a MTB race - the 9th Annual Appalachian Classic.... we're on #12 now.

I love the Sermon on the Mountain Bike.

In the beginning there was the Wordbiker, and the Wordbiker was with God.

Because I live on the

East Hill

You'll have to check with one of the previous 96 CyLowes to figure out mine.

I don't remember anymore.

and here i thought you were stating your age.

That happens a lot and I think my affection for bikes that are nearly that old contributes to that too.

:D

it could also be due to the fact that your camera only takes pics at 65 dpi. ;)

I kind of fall into this catagory as well.

Username on everything. Too bad passwords can't always be the same.

Brian Young

botto -

*zing*

You would have thought I was the guy who took that picture of your legs too... sometimes it makes things look a little pasty and washed out.

:D

Its my ride... a Titanium Merlin

I lived in Clifton. I used to play GoalKeeper for my company soccer team, and I had #1 on my jersey.

My friend and I were climbing in an alpine area taking about sex, unsafe and safe. We then started comparing the differences between unsafe sex and unsafe alpine climbing. At 11,000 feet, we were both cracking up, and having a blast. It was a good day, filled with lack of oxygen :D

Maelstrom - A maelstrom (or malström/malstrøm in the scandinavian languages) is a very powerful whirlpool; a large, swirling body of water.A free vortex,it has considerable downdraft The word was introduced from the Nordic form by Edgar Allan Poe in his story "A Descent into the Maelstrom" (1841). In turn, the Nordic word was borrowed from the Dutch maalstroom[1][not in citation given] which means grinding stream. The original Maelstrom (described by Poe and others) is the Moskstraumen, a powerful tidal current in the Lofoten Islands off the Norwegian coast.[2]

I have also read it used in reference to a massive stormfront.

I was named after my grandfather, Allen.

Dry tool, pecker, rack, nut, layback, jug hold, woodie... yeah, climbers' vocabulary is like boys whispering in a 9th grade sex ed. class.

Looks like you picked the safest alternative...

A combo of the first two letters of my first, middle and last names.

chipcom means sex goddess in many languages, all of which escape me at the moment, but I am sure they exist.

I am named after my father... My parents divorced when I was very young, and I never really knew him until about 8 or 9 years ago (I am 51 now) and at a family reunion people started talking about how finally "Little Darwin" had been found again... well, Little Darwin is about twice the size of his dad, but at the reunion, there is a fun award ceremony, and I got an award for the longest time away or something and I was introduced as Darwin Jr, and I quickly corrected my cousin that it was "Little Darwin" and, so I have been ever since... 300 pounds plus of Little Darwin wherever I go. :)

There will be less Little Darwin so that Little Darwin lasts longer, but that is a different story. ;)

I used to be skinny. Now I am not as skinny.

Best answer yet! :lol:

I went to Duke Univ. Thus, BlueDevil.

As usual I struggled to come up with a user name and got rejected several times. I had just boughtened (uhh, purchased) my first carbon fiber bike, and, btw, was fretting over the warning sheet that comes with CF bikes. I somehow came up with "carbonlife" as a playful mix of "carbon-fiber lifestyle" and "carbon-based lifeform." For the sub-title I wanted to put "carbon fiber based lifeform," but it was too long. For an avatar I searched for carbon fiber art shaped in the form of a living being, but I have yet to find any carbon fiber art. Somehow I ended up with Alien Hominid. That's hominid. With an 'i'.

The Artist Formerly Known as Skinny?

That was going to my new name.. once I reach I 145.. 3 to go.. Very likely not to reach goal this year..

I am a sockpuppet for ryanf and it's all I could think of at the time.

oops, tmi.

I am so pleased with my BF name, some people have even started using it for my prename. Even if they nomrally shorten it to cz.

Mr. Bubbles, what else does it mean?

It's bikerider spelled backwords - the guys over in the cryptology lab here at the institute came up with it when I told them I was joining bikeforums.

i actually chose it in reference to creativity. but probably should be more in reference to devious woman.

BlueDevil was my univ's mascot.... nobody really ever knew what it was, though... considering the icon was:
