Guru is someone else's second identity on here. It was mentioned in the Chat fourm a while back.
I thought long and hard to come up with a wacky far out name, My Real name is Rampaging PavingStone Head From Mars, but I thought this was a bit dull and mundane so I Made Up a Name that's wierd and strange.
Sam wins...

i never saw anyone with "theman..." as a screenname ... n well it should be simple to see y i got it ... the 32x i got from my cd-rom
Ok it's not as weird as Sams' but we caren't have everything.
Sam
Not a guru yet? Whats going on, have put my voice to the call for your elevation and John hasn't done it yet:(
Lets see...at birth, my mom and dad decided to name me Matthew...the last name came from my dad which came from his dad and so on and so on ;].
I found vb-world somehow..forgot. I found it in 1999, but I never registered 'cuz I didn't need to yet. I used it as references. Than I saw this smart guy on here named Aaron Young. And I said to myself.."If he can use his name, being all smart and all, why can't I?"
Hehe :).
My name is Dimitri so D!m was something that i can relate to vb and my name :).

I just made it up!
It's a self portrait (I wear glasses)
Hey what do we call you ???
Spects ???

WHen I was 17 or 18 I started writing a bokk yadda yadda good guy was Zen bad guy was Zan the M is for Magi because I studied Wicca for about 4 years and Chi and all that Mystic stuff So I'm Zan Magi even changed my real name to it
Although I sometimes regret as everyone seems to eventualy say isn't taht a little cocky
especialy since I can't type or spell or hit the preview button......
I picked out this name back when I was trying to learn assembly for Nintendo emulators...
Never really completely got the hang of it, but I did learn quite a bit about the format of Nintendo games like Super Mario Bros.
My name actually evolved from a character name that started with dima, which I modified to Dim A to represent a generic variable...
or in other words, an unstable element.
i actually liked the sound of my name...
I gained the nickname "Buzby" when I was working in a Tech Support department and spent a lot of my time looking after the phone system. For those who don't know Buzby was the character British Telecom used to use to advertise it's phone service. It kinda stuck when I moved companies because there was another Mark there and we needed a way to distinguish between the two of us. (on e-mail etc, it was quite easy to tell the difference in real life!)
Where I currently work I don't get called Buzby 'cos there's no other Mark in the IT section so I just get called Mark, or Mr.B
So there we are.
Wow.
I was referring to the user, Guru.Quote:

when a conversation caught my ear,
He said Joe

hi,
my name is Merlin because i am him, yes the one with King Arthur and i am the only one that knows where Camelot is,
So be careful what you wish for because it may come true ?
Merlin ?
Where is it then, I know, it's in Cornwall.
hi, Sam
it is all over the UK and you could say that it is a "Gamble" to find it
Merlin ?
well I got my screen name by forgetting to capitalise the first letters of my first/last name, and forgetting to put a space between my names...
what I want to know is...
how did Zej get his name? his is one of the oddest names on here....
oh, zmerlinz I wish for 100,000,000,000,000 , and I dont want anybody to die, and I dont want anybody to get hurt or sued, and I dont want to get hurt. I dont want to lose my computer, I dont want ANY bad side effects.....
hmmm.. that should cover all of the bad side effects that happen when you wish for stuff ;)
Cato is my name.
.com is so common on the inet I thought
I'd use it, but the "." gets in the way.
Cato _____ Kato
-Green Hornet ________shhhhhhhhh
hi, Sam
Depends on what sort of rabbit, but i am not sure what the outcome will be, like i said a Warthog would be preferable
Merlin ?
FWIW, I flew scout/attack helicopters for a several years. Mongo is the pilot handle/callsign assigned to me by my peers; it's based on my similarity to a character by the same name from the movie "Blazing Saddles."
I feel really boring.
I want to change mine to to something a little more interesting like Gazza or Mr Glowe (sounds like a james Bond Arch enemy).
Candy Gram for Mongo
Candy Gram for Mongo
Good film
More beans Mr taggart
I'd say you boy's have had enough beans
Sorry I'm extremly bored at the moment.
hi, just a small thought (becasue that is all i am capable of) if you had honey in your hard drive wouldn't that make it a bit difficult to run, and wouldn't the heads get stuck, but there is a solution, just put pooh on it (as in Winnie the Pooh, no muck please)
Merlin ?
I got my name from some friends I worked with ... "Hacks Software".
I don't hack other people's code... I hack by own.
In my case, I am a "hacker" in the sense that I am and "explorer" that tries to figure out my own code.
The word "hacker" was first heard in 1575 and refers to a person that really doesn't know his way around. An "explorer", "amateur", "experimentor", call it what you will.
Some people think it means "criminal"; other people think it means you are some "cool expert" -- but all it really means is "amateur".
I got my name from Douglas Adams's acclaimed book, The HitchHiker's Guide To The Galaxy. A five book trilogy about a man named Arthur Dent who had a weird friend who happened to be an alien that worked for the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy and was sent on a research mission to earth to study it. This man didn't do to well starting off and mistakenly took the name Ford Prefect as his guise. Then some other aliens (the name eludes me) decide that the earth is right in the way for an intergalactic highway, so they blow it up. Ford knows of this and he and Arthur escape, and are picked up by the aliens. After enduring the torture of listening to he aliens' poetry they are released through the airlock. As they are floating in space Zaphod Beeblebrox picks them up in the Heart of Gold. The Heart of Gold is a revolutionary new spacecraft that can go to any place in the universe just by calculating the probability of that place's existence, in the meantime they are in every place in the universe at the same time. It was at this point of the ship's traveling when they found the two men and picked them up.
Zaphod Beebelebrox plays the president of the galaxy in this book. He had a second head implanted onto himself in order to make him more popular and after his term as president was over he decided to steal the Heart of Gold.
I adopted Zaphod's name as my handle, but alas, I was not alone. There were other people who have read the book and enjoyed as much as I. This meant that Zaphod was taken on most sites, as was some of the more conventional numbers to put after it (1,2 etc, 1234, 4321, 42, etc) so I thought, "What's a unique, long, easy-to-remember number which I can use with an almost 100% guarantee that it will not be taken already?" Then it occured to me, "My ZIP code!" And so it came to be that my handle is Zaphod64831.
The End
Short Version: I took Zaphod from a book and put my ZIP code after it.
The name of the aliens were vogans... Their poetry was horrible. Third worst in the universe actually.Quote:
