I used to call myself 'Kate Bush' in another forum I used to frequent but when I returned from a brilliant holiday to the lost city of Petra in Jordan a couple of years ago and I changed it to that and its kinda stuck with me now. (even though it sounds a bit like a swedish porn stars name  )

My avatar is from the Ozric Tentacles album 'The Hidden Step' they have some great album covers and I liked the cat

Tuxon is taken from a song by Marillion (Tux on, I obliterated space)

M current avatar is obviously from Riverside's debut album from this year. I'm still searching for an appropriate Avatar to distinguise me by.

Great Thread By the way

My nick is the title of a Voivod album (surprised?), I also use it on the VV-boards. My avatar doesn't have anything to do with it. Or with anything else. Although I believe poodles will turn against human civilization (being fed up with learning stupid tricks and getting ridiculous haircuts), they will reign planet Earth from the 22th century onwards and humanity will be their slave.

and all this time I thought it was taken from Kansas....you know Garion You Wayward Son....yuk,yuk,yuk

Like that hasn't been used before!!

 

Has it Reed.

Hey, theyre only 2 months behind, I must be slipping!Wink

 

Yes you are.

 

Arioch,

If I was to choose a song or reference to Kansas it would have been something like Apercu or Hopelessly Human or Icarus or Paradox. I will just stick with garion81 it is something I have used for a long time.

Inspiration struck after I came back from my first Citrix exam (after swearing I would never do any of the shoddy industry certifications as my degree and practical skills were evidence enough of my prowess); I had to do the exam to get a pay rise - so I sold out...

When I got back from sitting the exam, and people in my office found out that I'd passed, for some reason they all found it very funny to say that I was now officially certified, and the nickname stuck until I changed jobs (for my next pay rise!).

The 1 came from the fact that the handle certified had already been chosen on Yahoo!, and, not losing heart, I thought it would be quite 1337 to celebrate my first certification with the number in my new nick...

I just like the Cyclops avatar, despite Danbo's line of questioning about one-eyed things...

 

Only kidding; Certif1ed comes from a very, very rare and amazing prog album, with music that goes way beyond anything that's ever been heard on this planet before. The lyrics are based on an epic poem by an obscure Transylvanian author called Dzzerkl Vergotnegbotendruckersch%tz about a race of beings from the future who discover time travel and only discover on arrival that, due to evolutionary shrinkage, the entire population of 345,000,000,000,000,000,000 fit quite comfortably in the space previously occupied by a hydrogen atom.

The hydrogen atom, forced out of it's spatial location so abrubtly, promptly reacted by exploding. On this scale, of course, it was the equivalent of 5345897.34 Hiroshimas.

The avatar is, in fact, a picture of one of these tiny beings.

just what I thought actually.LOL

Yeah I've been told that Mr Lakes Office is a normal Office, except for a couple of worn parts of the carpet, a couple of feet in front of his desk, it's a mystery I tell you a mystery......
