BackDoorBandit on 11/5/2000 at 17:26
My name comes from a TFC clan. I used to go by the online name of "Calisto", a name I liked every since my childhood for some strange reason, but then I joined a clan and my name changed.
I'd show up for meetings and such via ICQ chat and everyone there (about 10-15 people) would be so serious and have no humor. So, with my sick sense of humor and all, I decided to start throwing gay sexual inuendos out to people, playing off the words they previously said. This, mixed with the fact that I play as an Engineer and love Emping guys from behind when they're running away with the flag, caused my online buddies to call me BackDoor.
I took "BackDoor", and since I love playing Thief and all the FM's, I thought of "Bandit". Thus, "BackDoorBandit". This name suits both communities, whether it's the thief community or as my gay inuendo persona in TFC.
And before anyone asks, "NO", I am really NOT gay.

Yep. Simple as that.

No great or funny story I'm afraid, just when asked to provide a user name when I wasn't expecting too I used my two dogs names Medlar & Shyloc, they are Manchester Terriers . They do have "official" Kennel Club names but too long to use for every day. The name seems to suit the forum, bit silly tho'.Their names fit them pretty well, Shyloc likes her pound of flesh and Medlar does just that!

This will probably get me banned, but what the hell...? I can guess at the story behind any person who has sneaksie before the rest of their name. Basically, I think that they looked at mine, liked it, and then edited it, ie Sneaksie Taffersie.
As for me? I just liked the name and no-one had done it.

It's a subatomic particle. When I was reading particle physics, it got hung on me 'cause I'm "quarky".

Acquired my name about ten years ago from an episode of "Now Nordine" a half-hour radio show featuring Ken "word jazz" Nordine. Among the mutterings he uttered one was:
Absinthe....makes...the heart grow fonder?
Since most sites don't accept words in the dictionary I had to alter the spelling slightly.

I was taking a mythology class at the time and was too lazy to come up with a more original name. And after seeing the thousands of Phoenix's that populate the web I wish I had, especially considering this turned out to be the only forum I post to with any regularity. Oh, well.

Funny story: I was actually thinking of starting a thread exactly like this a few weeks ago, but then decided against. I gues that it was a mistake. Oh well, great minds think alike, no?
Anyway I have a relitively long story to go with my name. Its actual spelling is "Cpt. Sqweky" And I have no idea where it came from. You see, I was at wrestling practice one day (NO, I AM NOT A WRESTLER.) and one of my friends and I were just messing around and talking, and I don't remember the conversation, but it somehow led up to me saying "... or face the Wrath of Captain Squeaky!" So my friend asks "Who's Cpatain Squeaky?" I have no Idea, so On the sopt I say "Captain Squeaky is a rubber mouse." Now, the name Captain Squeaky appealed to me, but I couldn't just go with the flow and spell it right, oh no. So I Purposely mispelled it Sqweky. And abbreviated Captain to Cpt. and ended up with Cpt. Sqweky. And I've used it ever scince.
So therefor, as Cpt. Sqweky is a rubber mouse, and I am Cpt. Sqweky: I can honestly say that I am a rubber mouse.
i hope that this has enlightened you.
