Ya know something, it could also work if you're a Miami Hurricanes/Georgia Bulldawgs fan.

Ok, that's a stretch.............but thanks for the post. Anyways, I feel your pain. The Browns are going through a transition period right now or growing pains. I'm a Giant fan and we had those lean days for many a year, until we got good and I got rid of my crying towel.

When Mal beats up The Operative and walks over to the computer and places the disc into the disc reader, the words that appear on the screen are:

--Cortex Override--
-Initiate Broad Wave-
--Send-All--
And also 'Hackers' is one of my favorite movies of all time and the main characters screenname was Crash Override.

She is my pen name as well as a character in a novel I am writing. Been around longer than Firefly and is what most people know me as online.

My favorite line from Hackers:
"Spandex. It's a privilege, not a right."

My Username comes from two personal sources:
1. I spent 10 years in the US Navy, serving aboard aircraft carriers, aka Flat Tops.
2. I've kept my hair cut in a flat top for the last 20 or more years.

KAREL

I had been lurking on fff.net since Jan 2003 (!), posting anonymously here and there. In spite of all the shiny peeps, I was too shy to join, believe it or not. Then, it was time for the BDM, and a "Thanks, Haken!" thread came up. That did it. I needed a screen name, and quick. "Karel" popped into my head.

Karel was the name of one of my D&D characters from a long time ago. His name came from Karel Husa, a famous Czech music composer.

I've always pronounced it like "kuh-REL", but it is actually the Dutch and Eastern European spelling of "Karl" or "Carl". "kuh-REL" sounds more erudite. Some would say sophomoric.

GORRAMGROUPIE

My name is not so inspiring.
I chose groupie because when I joined, I felt like I was inviting myself to the big party. So I imagined everyone thinking "Oh great, here's another ******** groupie!" Luckily, I was proven totally wrong on that count. And Gorram, because I wanted to replace the stars with an expletive that wouldn't get me banned. So I am a GorramGroupie.

WASHNWEAR

Sunday, October 18, 2009 4:41 AM

When I first started lurking here it seemed that many handles were variations or plays on FF characters' names. The character I felt I had the most in common with - personality-wise, anyway - was Wash. "Wash 'n' wear" was a phrase I remembered from my childhood, and is defined by YourDictionary.com thusly -

wash-and-wear - designating or of fabrics or garments that need little or no ironing after washing

I don't think that's been such a big distinction in clothing for quite a while now (most everything in my closet and dresser is wash 'n' wear...whether it was intended to be or not).

Man, that's a long way to travel for an explanation that's pretty evident to begin with. But somewhere way up at the top of the page, somebody asked...

ROXYFREEFALL

Sunday, October 18, 2009 4:38 PM

Mine is pretty simple. I chose it cuz it's my fav comic character from my fav comic; Roxanne "Freefall" Spaulding from Gen 13.

(fav cover ^^)

Just always loved her. I used to have the SN "Freefall953" everywhere, but I thought it would be good to use a name that wasn't so androgynous.

Also, for those that remember (Karel ), I first started on the boards as "Chyna". That was the name of a character from my fav book Intensity by Dean Koontz; Chyna Shepard. Though everyone thought it was after the wrestler so I thought a change was in order.

RoxyFreefall suits me much better.
