Well that explains it. (Trying to get the Monty Python Lumberjack song out of my head ) I am satisfied. I made attempts at woodcarving out of boredom a few times. I was rather good at it, then I got a computer, computer games, programming books...and life has never been the same since.

FileNotFound is definitely my long lost twin.

actually, i am big and burly
....alas, no beard or flannel, but if i could make what i make and get away with that at work, i would!

Feel Pretty? Agh..all your fault..

I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight.

I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real...

My name is homage to my favorite comic strip of all time, Bloom County.

(It was either SteveDallas or Oop Ack.)

I thought that was R2D2's first name before Hollywood Americanized it.

Came up with the name after Syc told me that he was once known as "LordSycamore". I thought that was cool, and since I AM his lady, the name seemed to fit.

Uryoces · 11-13-2003, 08:35 PM

Latin name for gray fox. Means "dog with tail".

No creativity on my name. Just like my jeeps is all. It's much better than my usual moniker of theschlongmancummeth.

The original thread is called "Explain Yourself!", created by Hubris Boy almost 2 years ago. I'm too lazy to go back and find it now. There is also another one, created by Nic Name I believe...also too lazy to go find that one.

Short story of my handle: Sycamore is the name of a band I formed in 1993, and I started using the handle for myself online about 6 years ago. It means nothing...the name just sounded cool.

Score.

Quite the creative re-definition of <a href="http://www.auburn.edu/academic/science_math/arboretum/pix/trees/sycamore.jpg">nothing</a>, die Sykomore.

As far as the original topic of the thread...I first got the intarweb sometime shortly after being obsessed over some contrived science fiction book involving a skunk. I've just stuck with it since then, a few evolutionary changes notwithstanding.

edit: Oops, fixed misbehaving BBCode.

You out-of-context posting bastard!

People used to think I came up with the name via the Terence Trent D'Arby song "Wishing Well"...or that "sycamore" means something "deep" to me. It does now, but when I came up with the name originally, it just sounded cool and started with an "S", as did our previous band names (Suicidal Elves, Shoebox, Swell, Sin).
