(nevermind)

I use FFMCobalt here because FFM was my clan name when I started, and I chose to use Cobalt.

I also use Predigio and IvaBiggun ( ).

When Quake II came out, I immediadtly started playing online. I went through tons of different nicks, trying to find one I liked. Finally, while watching the simpsons I stole the name "Mr. Sparkle" I used it for a while but eventually got sick of using a name from a TV show. So I changed it to "sparkle, Mr" so peeps would still recognize me. Then after about a month I finished the process by shortening it to "sparkle" that is what I have been known as for a few years now.

In retrospect, I wish I had choosen something different because, as so have noted, it is kinda "fruity" but oh well, I like it and that is what I will be know as... at least in some form. I have been kicking around the alternate spelling of "sparq-l" what do y'all think. PM me, I'd like to know.

I thought the movie Ronin w/ Robert DeNiro was cool and I live in TX. I picked up the nick Tac (short for Tackleberry -Police Academy) because I love guns and have a 4X4 truck.

I used to DM a lot - so I needed an intimidating name (hey - it was at the time ) - so genocide sounded cool. I kept it lowercase cause I thought it just looked better than Genocide. (weird huh)

I use the name str8jackett on AIM cause I was listening to Bone one day and Wish Bone calls himself that, so I put a spin on it and names myself str8jackett....

I couldn't come up with anything, then noticed that a lot of people have something witty for their names...ok, not too many, but enough that I figured I oughta follow the crowd and create my own witty phrase/name.

elita1 is one of the female transformers in the original transformers cartoon. I love cartoons!
I also use skyfire and ember; names of 2 characters in an old 70's comic called Elfquest.




<< I also use Predigio and IvaBiggun >>


FFM are you serious? I thought it was you!:Q But everybody kept saying you were Paulson.

My Mom is a medium. She channeled my spiritual father and I was told my spirit name is Namuna.

Come to find out some time later that it also means 'wacky person' in the Eastern Indian language.

Either way, I like it and I use it.

I work at Abit, and they are going out of business, because I went to work today and they had the lights off, and the janitor's brother told him they can't afford to turn the lights on for more than 10 minutes! ***confirmed***! (just trying to be like insightful Hardware)

Anyways, being serious now.........

I picked this name because of the the BP6 and BE6-2 which I owned at one point :disgust: (with the buggy and crappy high-point onboard controllers) caused me to become a alcoholic trying to get it stable.

I wanted to ask people here a question about the High-Point controller , but I had to sign up here to do so, and so I chose the name that was on my mind at the time.

For the same reason you chose. At the time I registered, the Prodigy was my favorite. I don't really use any other nicks.

I used to play a lot of computer RPG's, and when I would create a character I would give them a name that would help me remember what class they were. Thus, the name I used for a paladin class was Palad, and it stuck as an easy screen name.

They are they only &quot;occupations&quot; in the U.S. that can control every aspect of your life if need be.

I've been 'dotcom' for about 6 years--when about 2 years ago my g/f of 4 years broke up with me. It was difficult getting over her and I decided that every aspect of my life should reflect that difficulty...
