I like to make up words. Apparently there is a golfer named "Nick Faldo." Didn't know that.

This.

Also, I think there's only one other dude out there with my combination of first names, so I always get dibs on using it as a username (don't think Eivind August 2 internets alot).

Ciel Inconnue, stylized as Inconnu/Inconuu CL, was one of my longest running D&D characters. The setting was a sci-fi world where your station was designated as your last name, it usually being two letters. When I rolled CL I immediately went for inconnue with the story that she was a young stowaway that was marked as having an unknown name, but a computer error made 'unknown' their actual name: Inconnu. I played as her for a good 5-6 years before our campaign ended. Not my longest campaign (that's a decade long epic that runs several generations of characters. ) but the most iconic one, as it's with a single character instead of a bloodline.

That and I really like crappily-spelled butchered French.

I'm an idiot and I also like Steve Brule.

Hahah, I can never not laugh when watching that

Until she woke me is a line from a Saul Williams poem. I use to be big into slam poetry back when I first started interneting and I've used it ever since

I watched
My toenails blacken
And walked a deadened trance
Until she woke me
With the knife edge
Of her glance

These are awesome. Already a couple of people have responded whose names were killing me.

Invisible Man: Ralph Ellison's novel by that name was huge for me...as is H. G. Wells, who wrote The Invisible Man.

Also, I'm really into looping and control voltages, and those things are kind of like having invisible men play music with you (Invisible Men is the name of my one-man show, so it all kind of fits).

It also feels like a bit of a commentary on how riding the internet works. Totally obscured, but still totally personal.

I used to be obsessed with Man Is The Bastard/Bastard Noise. Still dig them, just not close to Eric like I used to be

I was on tour with my old band and I saw an exit in Texas for the towns Thurber and Mingus
And I just thought it seemed like a really funny name. Lime Charles Mingus's estranged cousin that does one-man-band on the Vegas strip. I used the name for my looping project and it's kind of become my handle at this point.

"I used to doodle these strange drawings of water and fire and I always called them hydrogen bombs: I had a few friends that wanted me to paint them on skateboards: Its all really simple spray paint stenciling and since they are hydrogen bombs (not really no idea what one would look like) I called them hydrogen bomb graphics or hbombgraphics (also twitter youtube stuff like that)

Quoted from the last thread, and now I am keeping it because I have a series of pedals named after me
viewtopic.php?f=205&t=49545

was smoking a lot of dust at the time.

I've surely talked about this before, at least briefly.

To anyone else, my first guitar is worth little more than its strings, which were already dead & oxidized when it was purchased years back.
They look original, to a 35 year old Japanese clone of a $150 "student instrument" which, in itself is droll af.
I wanted something shortscale that any purist would hate...it was bought for noiserock riffage, trying to sound somewhere between lo & hifi.
Had been playing a fretless jazz bass with flatwounds when I became interested in pedals ca. 2009...and was looking to try something "wrong" in exploring a new instrument; approaching it as a distortion generator. Dirt of choice was a lpb-1 into Tone Wicker Muff, or Vox Brit Boost & Ibanez tk999ht distortion.
Turns out this humble instrument I purchased as a temporary tool and teacher, has become fairly permanent and loves fuzz just like the fella who 'sorta plays' it. Sounds so good to me I don't want to change a thing, and so the strings remain as they came.

Started calling the guitar rusty, red etc...and in joining ILF, first typed rustystrings then backspaced, and changed to rustywire

Just don't play with a fingercut.
