My name is a mix of two different meanings. The first is the fact I feel somewhat alone in the world for the fact I'm one of the few people now who actually want to work cows, ride horses, and do real work. I came up with this as I am the youngest person I know other than family that can rid horses, thus The Last part of my name. The other meaning is Biblical, as in the final horseman of the apocalypse, Death. There's a joke between me and my friends about this because I have a very light grey horse and a red horse. I also have red hair. So I get nicknames like The Redheaded Stranger, War, Death, Red Rider, etc.

It came from a British Victorian Era crime novel I read called Montmorency. Montmorency was a gentleman, while his other-self, Scarper, stole goods to keep Montmorency wealthy. They are both the same person. Plot develops from there. It's been a while since I read it, but I remember it being good.

I can totally respect that. Also, it makes mine look worse than naming yourself "Indiana".
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

I named myself after dandruff shampoo. Denorex

And no, I don't use it.

My sig is from the dur butter meme.

My avatar is a beta screenshot from luigi's mansion that I edited a little. I like it because it looks creepy and it's funny nintendo thought about putting it in one of their games.
Since this signature affects old posts, I'm leaving a message here in case anyone searches for my username. This account died in early 2013. I am no longer a fundamentalist.

Don't add to my problems by pretending my past views are still held in the present. I do not have any patience for that. Feel free to ask me what I think now.

I live in San Antonio Texas and my favorite Spur player was George "Iceman" Gervin who wore number 44. He is a real nice guy in person too, BTW.

My avatar is Flame Orange N64 I got at the local Flea Market for $17 with the first Mario Party game. I like the different color systems and this color , so far, is my favorite.

Runefaust is from Shining Force; I had to come up with a name for my GM character with Square an' it just popped in my head. Unfortunately I wasn't able to use the name, lol, but I did use it for my actual player character an' have adopted the monicker as my art/gamer tag.

If you know spanish, then flojocabron is technically a bad word! :shock:

its like saying LAZY BASTARD! which I kinda am 8)

I've used this moniker since my sophmore year in highschool back in 1998! Its also one of my many email accounts.

my older brother called me this once, and it just stuck in my head so just as a joke I made it as an email account and I've still got it.

The pic for my avatar is from some street art in Mexicali, Mexico. its from a larger scene. This was from about 3 years ago. I am amazed that it lasted about 8 months with no other tagging on it, but sadly now its all ugly and written on! I think it may have already been painted over though.

Well~ It's a bit of a clustermix for the name. Part old nick name, part my name, and part song.
And avatar, Samurai Showdown fan, and I played as Haohmaru mostly (also Nakoruru but she's a chick and I'm not).

The name comes from a video I made with some friends in year 10 media production. The assignment was to advertise something.
We were stuck until we saw a random brick sitting in our classroom, so we decided to base it on that.
BRIK(tm) is a multi-purpose use device. In our advert I play a damsel in distress as I'm getting mugged. The brick flies out of the sky and knocks out the mugger. "Thank you BRIK, you saved my life! If BRIK can save me, it save youuuuuuuuuuuu!"

The avatar is from a Space Quest game, can't remember which one. When I started using it a few years back I worked at KFC. Since that alien is a spotty teenager who works in a fast food restaurant, I though it was fitting.
