We have a lot of "what’s behind" or "I just bought", but I’ve seen some authors changing there name now and then. Question is : What is the thought behind the authors name.
Hansione is an Italian nickname I have for years, a lot of friends call me Hansione, it’s also an "alter ego" I use sometimes.
very interesting topic Hansione… <img>
Kurticus7 started out originally as…
The Inneffable Me…based on the Sonic Youth song.
When I first figured out what inneffable meant, I really thought it was cool, so I started calling myself that as a joke (18-19 years old).After some time, the inneffable me didn’t quite cut it. Someone inneffable needed a god-like name. Thus the evolution into…
The Inneffable Kurticus (an alteration of my real name). Like yourself, it’s an alter ego. I can do and say stuff as Kurticus that I would never do (and probably not accept responsibilty for <img> ) as Kurt. Family and friends thought it was pretty funny and I would refer to myself in the third person i.e. Kurticus would like scrambled eggs, or Kurticus likes not this cheap beer. (This was in turn inspired from a Simpsons episode where Homer dresses in a toga and refers to himself as "Homerclese" while constantly referring to himself in the third person). I guess it just stuck and when I got to college I would introduce myself that way. Or I’d be like "You’ve never met Kurticus? He’s inneffable!" You know, like Kurticus is this entirely seperate individual around here somewhere. I don’t know…it’s just stuck with me ever since.
The "7" came along (sophmore year, 20-21?) when a girlfriend at the time set up an e-mail account for me. Apparently there were already 6 other Kurticus users. Go figure.
Other nicknames…
Kurtis-all the hillbillies say it that way…it’s the "country" thing to do I guess. I’ll also introduce myself this way to prevent the confusion of Kurt w/ Kirk.
Truk-Kurt spelled backwards, I was hard hitting in high school sports.
Durt Dog-After Old Dirty Bastard (the original dirt dog)-several people have giving me this one that listen to ODB. That, and I’m prone to having a very dirty sense of humor under the right situation (i.e. when I can say it and get away with it…I’m more refined in public <img> ). I think I like this one the best.
Colonel Kurtz-college buddy calls me that
Count Kurticus von Zoellnerstein-my german heritage comes through on this one-one of my buddies thought it up.
Chongo (chango?)-Spanish for "monkey". The latinos at work began calling me this last summer. We would have to scale large stake bed trucks and climb through loaded trees and plant material (sometimes 20-30 feet in the air) in order to tarp them down for traveling. I would comment on how we were "a bunch of f*ck*ng monkeys" and make monkey noises, so it stuck.
And the all time best nickname ever…
…"hey handsome"…
(ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!! <img> )There’s probably others but I can’t think of them at the moment…
Peace <img>

Okay, I’m not really Malcom. The name came from a new coworker who horribly bungled my real name. I liked the sound of it, and started using it as my internet identity, since it sounds more like a name than "Texasboy220" or "SparkeStar66" or whatever. The "Evil" part came from not wanting to add a number to my name, plus it sounds sort of absurd, such a normal name, I guess, whatever. . .
I guess I should mention that the stupid add-ons come from my time on the Beck bbs, I like being able to change my name without all the hassle of people not knowing who I am.

Y’know tones, I thought the same thing about that line in Back b4 you go. Seemed un-J, but it seems to fit together with the vein of this album. If there was one album that seems to branch almost to the point of "concept" I would say "more Light" is the closest.
Far as the nom de guerre de plume (war/pen-warpin?) name, it came from the gents in the USMC, prob cuz I only got loaded and never locked on to much but my own trip. I made some deriviative sayings at the time:
Halfman, all business, no bull shit
Halfman, no business ,all bull shit
Halfman, half terror
etc.. ad nauseum fin.Kurtikai, you are one made man. Are you a kept man also? <img>

Hey Deepslush
U’re Right, I forgot 1: The Risen Lord
That means HalfMan was right, I dont remember them all <img>
Oh well
I have been off the boards for about a week, and now I have no idea who anyone is any more.
Javro – my middle names are James Edward Harvey. A teacher once asked me what the J stood for, and I said the most stoopid thing that came into my head – javro. Just stuck. So my full initials are BJEHH. Sorry it wasn’t more interesting.
See ya
Ben (happiest he can remember being in a long time – feel his love)
My name is a combination of my peaceful nature and my dissidence of current affairs and whatnot.
I use this instead of my primary name "IATWMH" a.k.a ‘I am the worst member here’ because people thought I was too masochistic and sub-ordinate.
I have many many many other names but my older net friends know me as Davidoom which is my name and my favorite game "DOOM".
Kissing just for practice is a line from "Seeing Other People" by Belle & Sebastian. It makes me laugh everytime I hear it.
Hit the Wine was a REALLY stupid drinking game I invented in college, and became an obsession amongst my friends. We had problems, our other favorite game was Karaoke Bong Hits. Maybe that will be my next name <img>
I wanted to be The Greatest and Best Freakscener in the World–Tribute, but that’s kind of long <img>

Well, we had a 6 foot bong you had to stand on a coffee table to hit. If you tilted it, the weird thing felt like a mic stand, so we used to make people sing for their hits. Actually, we got Murph and the bass player from the Lemonheads to smoke out of it when they played our college. Murph cleared it like a champ…
Kinda thought Murph had it in him… <img>
New name is from a wicked Hydromatics song, liked the Sweet but Scary kinda feel to it…not the evil kind of scary though <img>
Another Girl Another Planet…really liked that one.
Great song by The Only Ones, one of my favs of all time actually. May go back to this one in awhile.Bates…Hitchcock fan, Norman Bates is one of my fav characters from his films.
Neurotic…used this name on a freakscene I’m not even sure can be found on the way back machine <img> Still use it on another board…seems right as I am quite neurotic…obsessive…out there… <img> But Hey!
Allison <img>
when I was born my parents named me robert, it has kinda stuck with me since.
Some of my friends call me Calvin though, cuz they seem to think that I look alot like him.(Calvin and Hobbes -the cartoon thingy.)Mattman is a nickname I earned back in highschool from my crazy antics… It has stuck ever since, and I still have many friends in real life who address me by that name. I hardly even notice anymore when called by that name. I’ll answer to it instictively. <img>
Dr Otto von Mattman: Thought it up the other day, and thought it sounded cool. Everyone else has changed their name within the last week or so, figured I might as well jump on the bandwagon too. <img>
