How did you come up with your username/What does it mean?

sole intention is learning to fly

condition grounded, but determined to try

can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

tongue-tied twisted

just an earth bound misfit

Well, most of mine have been random or about things I've been obsessed with.  The current one I have on this account (Blasted) is a homage to a Sarah Kane play of the same name.  As for the two names that most people know me by on here, Gus and Bint, the former is the fat mouse in Cinderella ( :green: ) and the latter is a word I'm fond of.

It's obvious of how I came up with my username and it does not mean I live in Spokane. It means I like the town a lot and I'm a female so it's a combination I did.


I was Snowkane Girl for a while because Spokane was hit with a lot of snow and they had over 30 cases of roof cave ins so I called it Snowkane. I saw that term and decided to use it.

P7PSP and PPK are two different Kraut pistols. P7PSP 9mm Parabellum gas retarded blowback, one of three designs along with the Walther P5 ( I have one of these to ) and SIG Sauer P6 (P225) adopted in the wake of the Olympic Park massacre. The best of the three IMO for that time frame it was the most compact high quality 9mm available until the development of the Smith & Wesson 469/669 series and was still slightly more compact until the release of the Glock 26 and Kahr K9 in the early-mid 1990s. My PPK is a 1962 built 32 ACP, the same model that Major Boothroyd and Q demanded that James Bond swap out his Beretta 25 auto for in On His Majesty's Secret Service IIRC, it was released in 1931 as a shorter, lighter version of the PP series released in 1929. The PP series was also the progenitor of the robust Makarov that the Soviets adopted circa 1951, I have a Baikal IJ70 Makarov in my safe as well.

I picked mine cos I heard Billy Connolly use it as a comment in one of his stage shows. He  said 'Yes! I am the chosen one', and I liked it ever since. I also thought it sounded good., which is why I picked it too.

I have my username from the Unabomber, Theodore Kaczynski, though I know that it should rather be TedK, but Theo is an alternative form that would be more likely where Kaczynski comes from, namely Poland.  8)

I've been using the name Phlexor since 1990. Needed a name for our scene/demo group we were in and I wanted a name that did not reflect anything or was tied to any theme or era. So I made something up that meant nothing and sounded somewhat cool/pretentious in a scene type of way.

I chose Singularity because I'm busy working on a theory of everything, figure it suits.

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

Plus your original name meant juncture. Now a Nexus of a Singularity would be really interesting....
