Damn. there i was thinking you had an interest in water control. Bucephalus is the horse that Alexander the Great rode on

Razor Eddie is a character in the 'Nightside' fantasy series by Simon Green. Somehow I identify with him though I am not nearly as violent and hopefully don't smell as bad!

It said you could not use a dash in your username. "Dash" was already taken. It is that interesting.

I was lonely and needed someone to talk to, so I created a character called Renée Irena and she's sort of my imaginary friend.

I was playing Rome: Total war at the time and I am a nerd so I just thought I would combine them. :)

My problems with the English language where certain letter combinations are not pronounced like they're spelled.

Name is pronounced "fish": gh as in rough, o as in women, ti as in action

I believe it was George Bernard Shaw from whom you pinched the "ghoti" meme about the absurdity of spelling in English.

" you could spell "fish" by taking "gh" sound in "enough", the "e" sound in "women", and the "sh" sound in "relation".

But you stole from a great source.

So I salute you.

Actually your nickname is among my personal wrongplanet favs.

My other favorites include: Cheerlessleader, Abyssquick,Historyofpsychiatry, and LittleDarwin.

The Brawny comes from a bastardisation of my last name which was my nickname when I was in early high school. Then during middle school I got into a punch up in a Rugby game a floored the opposite centre. As this happened the same week a the new Rocky film came out, Brawnybalboa was thrown around briefly. I always liked it so use it when I can.

My philosophies often make me feel like a sanity Theorist in a chaotic world. I find it fitting.
