In English, "faux" is a homophone of "foe" and TRF made it clear that it was supposed to be an ironic pun.

My maiden name is long and Polish and starts with kaz and people have called me kaz my whole life. I ended up having to add the 'miss' because three letter usernames are hard to snag, so just kaz is usually taken. Now I actually like it with the 'miss' and for consistency's sake I use misskaz everywhere on the interwebs.
My real name is Karen but almost no one calls me that outside of work.

My gamer tag for Team Fortress 2 is only two characters.
[Teammate]: "Nice job dropping that level 3 sentry into the enemy intel room, _ _."
[Me]: "Just doin' mah job. Heh heh heh."
EDIT: No special characters, dashes, or underscores in those names either. Just three and two letters respectively.

Back in my internet days one of my jobs had a tiny room where we kept a karaoke machine so we could unwind if the pressure started to get to us. One night at an office party my boss and I were on mushrooms and snuck into an adjacent business to smoke weed and found a fog machine. I brought it into the karaoke room and said "DOOOOD! I'm the Wind and Fogmaster!" My boss heard it as Wendell Fogmaster and that's been my nom d'internet since. Had to shorten it for this site, tho.
That, or if you're some kind of professional dog walker.

When I signed up I was doing IT work for my department and I thought Jimmy Fallon's character Nick Burns on SNL was pretty spot on, although hopefully I wasn't quite as abrasive. Guess it depends who you ask.

The Young Jedi Knights books were pretty fun to read. Short quick reads. It's pretty much the story of Jaina, Jacen, Anakin, and Lowebacca growing up at Luke's Jedi Academy.

As far as I know, in my group of friends, I am the only person even remotely interested in Star Wars. I'm also fond of Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, etc.

Yeah, I read a few, but I only remember the one where Jacen accidentally cuts off Tenel Ka's hand when they first get lightsabers.

I'd recommend the Brent Weeks books. His "Night Angel Trilogy" is awesome. I've been waiting for book 2 in the "Lightbringer Series" to come out, and it comes out next month! They're more fantasy novels. The Night Angel Trilogy reminded me of Assassin's creed (sorta). The Lightbringer series reminds me of Magic:The Gathering. I recommend both series, some of the books take a while to get going, but once you get past it, the books are near impossible to put down.

^ I just might check those out then. Game of Thrones is also pretty damn addicting. I burned through the first four books in maybe a month or two. I'm saving Book 5 until Book 6 comes out.
I got a flight to Japan in the winter, with a total of like 20 hours layover, so I'm gonna stock up on ebooks.

In my misguided youth, I used to graffitti on walls. I sometimes tagged the name denske, being as my first name is Dennis. Yes, I was a loser lol

When I signed up for BF, it asked for a username and I keyed in "Doohickie".

i also appreciate the fact that its not actually a religion, but a philosophy

Painfully average.
I have a three letter username on PlayStation Network. This blew my son's mind. "Wha? How?!"
My gamer tag for Team Fortress 2 is only two characters.
[Teammate]: "Nice job dropping that level 3 sentry into the enemy intel room, _ _."
[Me]: "Just doin' mah job. Heh heh heh."
EDIT: No special characters, dashes, or underscores in those names either. Just three and two letters respectively.

I'm the only SW nerd. But I have a ton of friends that are huge friends of Tolkien's books, I've been meaning to get into that myself.

RA Salvatore's Neverwinter book 3 just came out about a week ago. That's definitely going to be my next purchase.

mine was my screen name that I made in 6th grade, which was a decade ago (balls). I use it for all of my internet identities, if you google nuhtowel you can see all the stuff I have done on the internet in the past 10 years.
nuhtowel = how you say my last name.

My pants used to fit me
It was an internet startup in the gogo 90's when a guy could fail out of college, walk into a web shop and say "Hi, I know all about the internets. I here they have it on computers now!" and get hired for $40k.
Those places were all about beer every Friday, an endless supply of Twinkies and microwave popcorn and bosses that didn't care if you were wrecked or took a 2 hour lunch break to puff weed and go watch a Yankee game at the Irish bar down stairs, so long as you didn't miss any meetings and got your work done. Hell we did whippits in the conference room to celebrate getting our first real client!

Scrod, I really enjoyed your story. When I was kid it seemed everyone else had nick names while people just called me Gav for short. That or "High Tower" :not amused: My girlfriend is the only person that says my full name regularly.
