Mine's from Buffy, obviously. ("You know, the Slayer? Slayer comma the. Look it up.")

730 is a bit of prophecy that Faith spouts way back in "Graduation Day, pt. II". She says Buffy's "Little Miss Muffet counting down to the 7-3-0". In exactly 2 years from that season 3 finale (730 days), Buffy makes the ultimate sacrifice - killing herself to save the world in the season 5 finale "The Gift".

The series could have ended there...but I guess Joss had another 730 to go! ha ha ha

It's the shortened version of my usual screenname: Sunnydale_slayer730

Mine is the names of my cats, one of whom is named for a Whedonverse character.

Funny, prior to coming to this thread I had just added a signature to my profile to shed a little light on the Bcoat name.

HaniTrader... Na shi shen-me yi-si!

It's homage to sci-fi author C.J. Cherryh and her series of books revolving around House Chanur. They are a species of roughly felinoid folk that are nieghbors to other folk/spiecies. These stories follow the exploits of the Chanur clan free-traders. Only the women folk go spaceward and do business while the men folk stay at home (they're too unpredictable, labile, and spoiled). House Chanur breaks that trend by dragging a man-cat with them.

'Nuff said. Good series.

Dave.

All Hail to the Hani Cat Traders of Compact Space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not too clever with names so I took the easy way out and used the names of my dogs, Aku and Kodogo, they are Black border collie kelpie cross, sisters. Aku Kodogo is a negro dancer that has worked in Australia. Kodogo means 'little one' in swahili. None of this is related to the Joss 'verse in any way, I just took the easy way out.

I'm a Star Wars fan. Grey is a pseudonym of mine, and one of my favorite colors. My personal philosophy is at odds with the Jedi philosophy (a man can draw strength from passion and emotion, so he need not deny it, even to maintain control and center.) but I fight the Good Fight. I am certainly no Sith, but Dark Jedi has been made synonymous with Sith, so can't go about using that. Hence The Grey Jedi. Even though that philosophy actually fights for the White more so than do regular Jedi who abhor absolutes. To much relativism in the Jedi for me.

Boy that was long-winded, weren't it.

I had just finished watching "Shindig" when I finally decided to join.

"Ath. Can I call you Ath?"

Some people don't get it, though; some of them call me "Call" in the chat when they first meet me.

I've always loved Retro Games. Donkey Kong, Joust, Rampage, whatever. So my usual SN is Retro Gamer, here shortened to just Retro.

E. C. Gordon is the main character in one of my favorite books by my favorite writer, Robert A. Heinlein's Glory Road. I use it or a variation of the name on almost every forum I visit across the net.

And yes, I also answer to the names Scar, Oscar, Flash and Easy Gordon.

It really has to do with attitude. No matter what "crap" life tries to throw at you, you stay "shiny". It's about moving forward with a positive outlook. It's also a nod to the idea of "Still Flying"

"We had ties that could not be broken, except by the passing of time. Like a rock. A broken time rock. And you're very special to me, my broken time rock people." - Nathan Fillion
