OK, as I’ve just explained monsterpodo, ‘la masse’ means the mass (hum… OK, I know you all guessed that) which can be interpreted in French as ‘really good’. If you say that you’re a mass at math, it means you’re very good at it, or that you’re a fat liar. The reason why I chose this was that I was a total dick at Flash when I arrived here. Unfortunately, now that Supra, Upu, Thor and Bernardo have taught me a few tricks, this can sound like I’m bragging. But I’m not. Honnest. Well, maybe a little bit. I’d be most interested in Phil’s explanation of his nickname… pom 0] (reminds me that there’s pom too… later) ---

I don’t know where my nickname came from. It’s a total mystery to me. K-I-R-U-P-A, what a strange sounding word. Bernardo seems to be confused as to the origins of my nickname as well. ---

Well, I’ve already explained it in the beginning, but for those of you who are new, I’ll go through it again. 🙂 Upuaut is an Ancient Egyptian god, one of two jackle gods, the other being anubis. Upuaut is the “opener of ways”, who’s duty it was to lead souls to the Duat where their hearts could be weighed against the weight of a feather to determine if they were worthy of a place at Osiris’ side. Upuaut is also the name of a small knife used in the process of releasing the soul Lastly, Upuaut, and UpuautII are the names of small robots designed by a German robotics engineer, the second of which was used to explore and clear the shafts in the Queen’s chamber in the great pyramid of Giza. UpuautII was the discoverer of a tiny stone door with copper fittings at the end of one of these shafts, which as of yet has not been able to be opened. Much information can be found by typing upuaut into google search. Sorry I forgot to mention the pronounciation. rather than add another post I’ll put it here at the end. Upuaut is pronounced “Wep-we-wet” ---

how exactly do you pronounce that, upu? and kirupa, isn’t your (real) name…kirupa? anyway, with my name, i came up with it by rearranging the name of a fictional character i really adored (a while back). the original name was “Sephiroth” (from Final Fantasy VII). I reversed the name so it became “Htorihpes”, but that didn’t look too good or sane to pronounce, so i switched the necessary letters and it finally became “Thoriphes”. in conclusion, i can’t really say that my nickname was really original, but it sounds pretty cool. if i have a kid, im gonna name him “thoriphes”. lol, it’s funny when i explain people what it means as opposed to how i got to it. i say that “thoriphes” was among the strongest of the Greek soldiers at the time (“thor” meaning strong and “phes” sounding pretty greek to me). of course, i’m lying. i don’t really know if there was anyone named that. so to let my legacy continue, i’m gonna introduce the name “thoriphes” to the world. muahahaha. in a thousand years…President Bill Thoriphes…in two thousand…King Thoriphes XXXIII…in three thousand years…“_then Thoriphes said…let there be Flash…and there was, and He thought it was good…_” ---

Actually, Thor is a god from Scandinavia. God of the seas if I’m not mistaken. You’re son of a Viking now, man ! pom 0] ---

I agree w/ Thor about Sephiroth. I also think FFVII was one of the best games ever made. My name is pretty stupid actually. I work with this kid name Matt. His nickname before I met him was “W-B”. When I met him, I decided that was too many syllables so I shortened it to “Dubba”. He didn’t like it at first, for a few reasons that don’t have anything to do with this story. So he called me Jubba (because my first name, Jeff, begins w/ a “J”). So Jubba became my name. However, when I went to register for the ezboard name of Jubba, it was taken. I was one p!ssed off s.o.b. So i changed my name to IamNotJubba. Great story huh? ---

It’s my AIM sn. I wanted a name that would be difficult to spell… thereby automatically filtering out certain people from conversing with me. It just kind of stuck after that. ---
