Wait. I got this.


I guess it is German if it is a tank with a tankard?

Das Lynx. I joined the forum because I knew Citizen Bleys and Raistlin, people I had met via AO and PI, and thought they were lovely company. I used this moniker as an aberration of Genius Lynx because Bleys was nicknaming me and heck, why not? But then I realized it felt too stiff, militaristic, and German for a dumb American, so after Shlup put me through a minor genderbending event, I moved onto bigger, better things...


It says "spy" but everyone reads "creative genius".

Genius Lynx. This dumb name (what a great name) was the result of a Metal Gear Solid Codename Generator. Put in a name and get a codename, simple as that. A lot of my friends tried it in Accounting class, and only mine was really good. So when I needed a less obnoxious name on ezBoard, I decided to Solid Snake it up and be a member of FOXHOUND. That was cool, and a lot of people refer to me as this, but I felt life needed a little spice, so I became...


Where do you keep your honeypot?

Chocolate Thief Locke. I wanted something that said "Final Fantasy" and "funny", so I immaturely copped out on a rude term for a homosexual man and Locke Cole because he is a thief, you know? It was not much of a stretch to make him a lover of men if you ignore all the canon ever. Anyway, I started getting annoyed at all the Private Messages I got from interested men, so I went for a change of pace...


Agent Umaro, meet laser. I expect you to die.

Her Majesty's Agent Umaro. I somehow thought this was a Bond reference. I thought Umaro as James Bond would be killer cool. Well, he was, people loved it, but then people started confusing me with Big Ugly Umaro (BOU), a Recognzied Member from back in the day. That was flattering, but nothing sucks more when your secret identity is similar enough to another person's identity that you keep getting stopped to talk about the heydays you never had. I was so frustrated, and then I thought, "Yeah, this will be a good idea..."


Nothing says classy like a splash of color.

By Murder I Will Be Rydia. Boom, third Final Fantasy reference and a pun. Never mind how long it is; the last two names were long enough, so what is the problem with this? Also, I totally got to design on of my favorite avatar and signature sets ever, and that was awesome. However, no one wanted to type this name out and I do not blame them. BMIWBR? rubah in particular was not pleased and when another year blew around, she was like, "Can I change your name? I am going to change your name..."


Gurren Lagann style.

Garnet Eiko LAX 2009 EXTREME. I do not even. It has Garnet and Eiko in it because IX is great? And LAX in it because Los Angeles is where she wanted to be? And 2009 because it was 2008/2009? I have no clue. This was horrible and I put on my Champagneful persona to help this trainwreck burn out best. Del Murder has an aneurysm and forcibly changed me back to Genius Lynx because all of it was so offensively bad. I did not blame him. Anyway, barring any grand insight or joke, I felt the Lynx name was going to stick and settled down to happily keep it. ...That is, until Shlup said this, and I had no choice but to comply.


Let your body move to the music.

Madonna. And so here I am and I love this name. Shlup, in all honesty, looks fantastic and not like she was born in 1958, and everything else looks great.
