i wannet to go with "necrophagous gastronome". but its too long, and makes me sound like a grindcore fan anyway.

lygophile iv used on zwaremetalen.com, but was allready in use here, funny story: thats actually how i got to this site, by googling lygophile to see if its an accepted term for shadelover.

but as my mind is allways in hyperdrive which quite describes me much, and i mentioned that to someone yesterday like that, i went with hypermind.

My name came about during a period when I was on a massive Devo and George Romero kick. I would often go into bizarre daydreams and I kept seeing an undead potato rising from a garden, so I decided to draw one and come up with a name for it. For some reason though, the image faded from my mind, but the name stuck, and applied itself to my view of various aspects of society.

My username is my favourite comic book villain. I've used it several times elsewhere on the net and it feels pretty comfortable now...

I was once captured by the Dread Pirate Werbert. Each night, he would say to me, "Good night, *****. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning. He said that for five years.

As it turns out, Werbert had grown so rich, he wanted to retire. He took me to his cabin and he told me his secret. 'I am not the Dread Pirate Werbert' he said. 'My name is Ryan; I inherited the ship from the previous Dread Pirate Werbert, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from is not the real Dread Pirate Werbert either. His name was Cummerbund. The real Werbert has been retired 15 years and living like a king in Patagonia.'

That sounds like something from a movie my mom made me watch.

Should I kill him for you? Or do you want me to use the W-Item glitch to clone him so you can kill him as many times as you want?

Well, he was responsible for Rumor Has It, the Story of Us, and When Harry Met Sally, so I'll take the second option.

Although I'll keep one of them alive because I liked The American President.

my username is from a "tori amos" album. and the lyrics suggest that the person in question "blackdove" is from another galaxy. makes sense. i suppose.

My name came from my otherkin: Death, and after playing lots of Super Smash Brothers Melee, I came to know Ganondorf as pure power because of how insanely powerful he was; hence the name Ganondeath

I'm named after the character Dart from the Game Boy Advance game "Fire Emblem". That's an awesome game, by the way.

I came up with my username while I was working one night. It could be used as an alternative word to 'aspie'. I'm only the second person to use the word 'neurodeviant' on the Internet. :D
