Balanar was the name of the Dota hero I was most proficient at playing and the name kinda stuck as a nick.

 

[Jeebuzz]

What is the opposite of murdering golf courses? Maybe I should change my name to whatever that answer is

I also murder golf courses, but in a bad way. I've tried to improve, but I think I need lessons and start from there.

Spelled it different.

 

[squirrelkisser]

The club crest of Kilmarnock Football Club from Scotland has, bizarrely, 2 squirrels on it.

And footballers of old (not so much nowadays) would often kiss the crest on their shirt upon scoring a goal to indicate their "love" for the club.

So the phrase "kissing the squirrels" became synonymous with supporting Kilmarnock FC; hence "squirrelkisser".

I love it! Question - you said the club from Scotland and I see you are now in Australia. Did you relocate? My ancestors are from Scotland and I have friends (and spent my honeymoon) in Australia, which makes me extra curious.

Yep, originally from Kilmarnock in Scotland, now in Sydney.
Do you know where in Scotland your ancestors are from?

Not in detail, no. We are the Lindsay Clan. My great grandparents (3 pairs) migrated from Scotland to Canada. One pair from Scotland/England to Africa and then to Canada.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn

1. I like the idea of being called "Piper"
2. Reference to the Pink Floyd album
3. Reference to Wind in the Willows and the god Pan

Hits lots of good things at once.

 

[dmalhi1]

dmalhi1 has a fairly simple derivation being that it's my first name Davin followed by my last name Malhi and the fact that I'm the first of my kin with this name. Davin Malhi the 1st .

[hoosierdonny]

Most assume I'm from Indiana....but instead, I played in a band called "Hoosier Daddy?"....and well...my first name is Don....soooooo.......

It's a little ironic that I use Johnny in my user name. Johnny is a nickname only my closest and dearest friends use with me.

[OzzyWings]

Ozzy Wings is pretty obvious right??

So long who I had just discovered Facebook and I quickly got hooked on Mafia Wars which is more addicting than crack but I quickly understood that on the Facebook site one had to add thousands on fiends u never knew or met.

With little kids ect that didn’t seem wise so brilliant me started a second fake account just to play the game with. I am a die hard Detroit Red Wings fan so I was watching a game when this happened so I made up the name Ozzy (after the goalie at the time Chris Osgood) Wings after my team.

One of Chris best days was when he and Colorado at the time most winning goalie of all time, met Chris at center ice to fight. Now goalies rarely fight for few reasons one of which is they wear multiples times the gear that players wear and two they are all the way apart so takes a special moment to watch this clip:

The attached picture was front page next morning.

As a post script—during a Mafia Wars war, some dirtbag reported me to Facebook and they locked the account t u til I have another nme so I went Jimmy Howard (the current goalie!), I then made a new Ozzy wings account and I also have for Goldie Howe and Bobby Probert!

So not mistaking that I’m nuts I’ll attach pic of my daughter at a STANLEY cup final game w octopus in hard. My daughter with Mr Hockey in 2012 me w lord Stanley’s cup and my young son all etsy’s out ready to play!! On and my mafia wars pic. Good stuff!
