My nick comes from the name of a lead character in a series of fantasy books written by Storm Constantine - Magravandias is the series and the books are:
Sea Dragon Heir; The Crown of Silence and The Way of Light and Valraven is the anti-hero of these books. The "nz" indicates my place of origin.

Ah, but the name King of Siam and a photo of Bill Hicks means I do take you more seriously.
I was watching some Bill Hicks the other day, it was so funny! But my friends tried to watch it and she hated it, she loves Mitch Hedberg and the other dude, whose name escapes me... I just don't think it's her thing.

I've been nicknamed "Oliver stoned" by friends because of my higher states of consciousness, and i kept this nickname (my real first name is "Olivier", the french for "Oliver"). This is also a play on word with the movie director "Oliver Stone".
I also discovered that there's a current artist/musician called the same. But if you type" Oliverstoned" in Google, the first answer to come is my progarchives profile. And if you type "oliverstoned" into Google/images (pictures) you'll find various nice pics coming indirectly from my Progarchives posting.

Whoops. I just found out Rocktopus is also a US collage rock band. I even checked them out at myspace. Awful!

I've never heard their music, I just know of their existance.
Genesis and VdGG were College Rock bands at one point, don't dismiss it so easily!

Is that an anagram of your full name? Quite ingenious... My full name is so long that it would be almost impossible to make it into an anagram (and I'm not gifted enough for that).
