if i could afford to get drunk off of good beer, i'd drink it all the time. but every time i look at a 12 dollar bottle of chimay, i think about how that will buy me a case of pabst which will either last longer, get me more drunk, or get me and more people drunk.

gorn = gromentecent oxidation rendering neurons
It's a theortical power generation process done by dispelling the oxygen atoms from a system causing tachyons to collide into molecules and accelerate them to past the speed of light, converting them to either light energy or heat energy.

ostro...it literally means sharp in Polish, but is also used like the english term "fixed"...
i roll ostro (fixed)...ostro kolo = fixed wheel.

En la calle = In the street. In spanish. That's where I am on my bike.
My current avatar is some spin art, because spin art kicks ass. I like to change avatars fairly often though. Last week I was a Glen Campbell album cover.

I really like this poem "the sunflower sutra" by Allen Ginsberg. I threw an internet acronym infront of it because I am on the internet.

College nickname. No one has actually called me Spudmeister in near 20 years. I kinda miss it.

That said, I also say: fair 'nuf. Hopefully, should we ever meet in real life (or elsewhere), we will have the presence of mind to call each other by our real names; mine being Jamie.

misspelt Norwegian slang for a fur-lined cap.
The first word means bear and the second word means the part of a lady bear you might be able to make a cap from with little effort.

very popular nickname in high school - pretty much became my defacto name. A lot people still call me that at uni too.
Avatar is just a good pic of the real mr kotter.

eyefloater ... I come from a photography background. A lot of my stuff is photo illustration and ends up looking pretty grimey. "Eye floaters" are clumps of cells floating in the vitreous fluid of the eyeball (they cast shadows on the retina and cause visual quirks). Basically it's just another random forums name that kind of reflects me in some way.
avatar ... One part personal interest in forensics, one part 16-year history of Crohn's disease (with well over a dozen surgeries, medical trials, hospitalizations, blah, blah, blah). I've got a fairly intimate relationship with my body at this point and a big interest in anatomy in general. The avatar image itself is actually a cropped plate from the famous Gray's Anatomy text.
