Where did you get your nickname from?

[PH]

Aaah, Grey Fox, right? 

MAD.

Indeed!!

Aaah another one who knows about MGS!

@Cyborg-Frask:
You know, about the Gregor part, that was so funny I choked and had to swallow 2 square centimeters of my cookie.

To be honoust, i'm not kind of a game-freak anymore but i used to be ("vroega") a fanatic myself. Games like Tomb Raider, MGS, one-person-shooters (Doom, Duke Nukem and Medal Of Honor) and , yes indeed, C&C were absolute my favourites. I still have a Playstation 1 and 2 (and a PC of course  ) but nowadays i hardly have the time to play anymore.

Same here.

[Cyborg-Frask]

yeah me too a bit. even though i still play games..., way not as much as i used to do.

i still play games like battlefield 2, Splinter cell 3 and counterstrike 1 and offcourse the C&C games
(the seconde decade really hooked me up) and MGS: The Twin Snakes

whahaha. so my plan worked  . It was really weird the first time my brother called me like that. He came into my room and said: "j0w Gergor". i looked back and was like  WHAT???

[JJ II]

I think mine is quite easy.

Since my real Dutch name (Jan-Jaap) is totally unpronouncable in any other language, I started calling myself JJ.

This seems to be the calling-name of a well known (to us at least) bassplayer as well, so I adopted the number II. To avoid questions for autographs and about bass-playing.

I've been using the JJII for quite a while now.

BTW, my avatar has been drawn by mr. Peter Nicholls himself, isn't that cool?

Yes indeed, very cool! 

[Nicky007]

Well, Nick and Nicky are the most common nicknames for Nicholas. There's Nicky Hopkins (a session pianist who played for i.a. Rolling Stones), Niki Lauda (who smashed himself up in a Formula 1 car, happily surviving), Nicky Wire (who writes lyrics and plays bass in Manic Street Preachers), Tsar Nicholas II of Russia (called Nicky by Kaiser Wilhelm II and King George V, now it's gettin pretty colorful), Nicky Hilton (American hotel-heiress and fashion designer, sister of Paris Hilton; hm, maybe it's time to stop this).

The story behind the "007" is more special. I got to the port of a massive internet forum (forgot which), and I had to find a nickname there. Obviously "Nicky" was occupied, I tried "Nicky1", and "Nicky2", ... "Nicky13", none of'm worked, and being somewhat frustrated and just for the heck of it, I tried "Nicky007", and surprise (or voila, for Bupie), it opened the door. The wierd thing of it all is that I loathe Bond films (although as a youth, I was also sitting there shoutin "kill'm, kill'm ....").

Well, it gave my a chance to scare the s... out of Appelmoes (with my post nr. 100), and I can still laugh about that episode (hope you've forgiven me, Appy). 

Nicky.

[Appelmoes??]

I'm sure it's forgiven, 'cause I can't remember (Or I had been drinking beer )

[Nicky007]

Or I had been drinking beer

How about cider? 

Nicky.

[bluepony]

I'm afraid we need more members, because we know the story behind most of the members' nicknames by now...

OK, just to do PH a favour 
- "blue" because I like the colour (that was easy, wasn't it?  )
- the "pony" goes back to my school days when I used to wear my hair in a ponytail most of the time (obviously I used to have much longer hair back then...)

Which makes me wonder if that's you on your avatar, BP. 

[Appelmoes??]

That WAAAAAY to small picture

[bluepony]

Ahem... yes, that's me - very old picture, though! (And absolutely not too small I think.)

[Appelmoes??]

(And absolutely not too small I think.)

Shall I open a poll for it?

[maddox]

Shall I open a poll for it?

Please do. 

[bluepony]

Or maybe not, because we might end up "off topic" again... 

[maddox]

Then i welcome you to the world of Off-topicness. 

[bluepony]

Great! That's where I live anyway... 

[bluepony]

So - where's the poll? 

[Appelmoes??]

You didn't want it, so I didn't make it

[bluepony]

I know, I'm just teasing you. 

[Appelmoes??]

It's Tom you should tease

[bluepony]

Maybe, but it seems he's hiding... 

[Nicky007]

Tease our man (Tom) 

Nicky.

[bluepony]

Maybe you should start a new topic with that title!
