  • oh_hambone

    Hambone was a character I created when I was still drawing and designing. He was a super hero but didnt really possess any powers other than being able to fly, and was somewhat oblivious to being a hero at all. All the women swooned over him (supposed to be read as "oh! Hambone! Take me away my darling!") But he loved no woman, and instead had a passionate love for "dem 'amburgers what gots a cheese on 'em". Seriosuly, thats it

  • shuggy-chan

    Mine is a strange and convoluted path. The Earliest version of my usernames from this and other site/gamertags, all started back when i was playing Civilization on the PC.

    i enjoyed playing as those "God Damn Mongolians" and both leaders for the mongolians had Khan in there name. So the 1st version of my name was my first name reverse "Ian" & Khan added, So it was Nai-Khan!

    slowly it changed from Nai to Ian and then Khan to the Japanese suffix "chan". but to keep an element of anonymity I replaced Ian with a lesser used nickname that was based off my Last name.

    And thus Shuggy-Chan was born......Ta-Da

  • -Sigh- I knew I would have to explain one day, explaining the origins of "ItDuz".

    Well, here it is.

    A boy at a very young age struggled with mixing with others, usually he would just spend his time in forrests to escape everything that was on his mind, and with the escape from civilization he escaped the problems he had with it, however it was always short lived as he always had to come home, to come back to civilization.

    I watched this boy every day since he was young until he was in his teens, and one day he slipped from the top of a tree to the ground, wounded and clearly dying, me, a powerful demon known as ItDuz that also went to that forrest to escape the norm of his species, tried to save him but there was no way to put him the way he was prior, all except for one...To possess his body to save his conciousness while making mine the dominant one.

    So this body is not my own, I am the great demon ItDuz, and ever since that day, ever since that dreadful day, the sadness of taking that boy's body has brought me internal pain that I do not know how to handle, and so I take it out on IsItNormal as my revenge.

    *Wipes tear from eye*

    You happy now!?

    In all honesty it was just a name generator.

    This site told me to choose a name which cannot be used to identify me. So dark matter is a type of matter which is mysterious and invisible. It cannot be identified. It is more than 27% of our Universe while normal matter (what we are made of) is only 4% (representing I am more than everyone. Don't take it as an offense). It only interacts with normal matter (what we are made of) by gravity (representing influence).

    My boyfriend made a nickname for me a while back (Shily), and one of my favourite numbers is 666.

    one of the best characters off an old forgotten webshow...

    and i can kind of relate to the poopsmith at work. coworkers always come by to tell me how (figuratively) shitty my job is, but that they respect my diligence. it's repetitive but I don't mind it. and i don't have to talk a lot.

    ...also, i like poop.

        I do various relief work, last couple weeks in office/warehouse, doing whatever the other people don't want to do. And at my other job I'm basically a dishwasher. Nothin interesting, but it keeps me sane

            of course! it was a circuitous euphemism, for shoveling poop

    It's pretty self evident, I would think. I've spent my life traveling and most of it under sail.
