My family name is Fintland thus Finti. All my friends adress me with Finti so do customers at work. The only time people seem to adress me with my given name(Oleiv) is when they want something from me or want me to do something for them.

When I was 18 I had a CB Radio and I had the handle Ratcatcher after a characyter from the DC Batman comics.

Anyway, when I got into the Internet my ISP at the time had an 8 letter restriction on logon names so I shortened it to Ratcat and for there a whole new idea of the persona emerged.

The idea of the Rat and the Cat mixture is quite new, previously it was all Rat.

Also, it has NOTHING to do with the Australia 80/90's band called Ratcat.

Jedi-Because Star Wars is my favorite movie and Jedi's are the baddest mothters in the galaxy
Oasis-Because they are the baddest mothers on the planet, not to mention the greatest band of all time

um, I thought Jedi were the goodest mothers.....

When I first signed in for a forum, the one at TF.N, I never realised I 'needed' an nickname. So I thought one up, I like q's since Dutch doesn't use them much. I made queeq, and then later I was reminded the back-up computer on Red Dwarf was called "queeg". I must have stored that name somewhere in the back of my head. Anyway, it's "queeq" with q's.

Not many q's in the dutch volcabuary huh? I never knew that.

REALLY, queeq? So my original mis-spelling of your name was fact-based after all...

YUou weren't the first one to make that mistake Ush so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I was SO embarrassed...

I got my name from The Clockwork Orange.

Sorry, I know it's cruel but that typo made me laugh...

Good old Kubrick and McDowell. Barking, both of them...

I"m not even going to ask WHY that made you laugh....

I still want to know what keokiswahine means.

Good point!

And you're right, I'm sorry.

Oh Great! Now I have to go watch a Clockwork Orange to find out why...

Having just explained my nickname (in the My Nickname thread, oddly enough), I think it's about time I understood some of the other obscure ones floating around... so, if you feel like blowing your secrets, please explain your on-line names here!

I'll tell you...Dim, aka George, was one of Alec's (MacDowell's) flunkies...

I thought it was a good name and I liked the film...so there ya go.

And of course, you are Dim!!!

Ahem. Mine is rather self-explanatory, I'm sure.

But I would like to know keo's origin. Sounds american indian to me.

Sounds very Maori to me. Come on, keo, cough it up.

I guess we'll have to wait until she shows up again and then finds this thread. Could be a while. (Builds campfire and gets out weiners and marshmallows).

I tried to get it out of keo before, but no luck yet.

Doesn't she live in Hawiai?

I would love to live in Hawaii. Except for those annoying volcanoes.

Does that explain a lot, do we think?

She's confused, not explosive.

I just thought that might have something to do with her name.

I think we should just give up. She's not gonna talk, and I've got important mayhem to create you know. Can't spend all day in this thread batting the poodoo around.

I agree, if keo doesn't feel she wants to share then we should not bug her.

Feeling evil today, dear RC ?

got no reason for my name i wanted to be called darth something but couldnt think of anything then fester popped up and i thought that sounds good

also hes that bald one out of the adams family

Gundy, there's always a bit of wickedness in me.

Ooooooo.....I'm getting excited.

Oh, we've got a live one here!!!

Batten down the hatches Boys!!

Oh darn, sorry Gundy, have to take a rain check....

Well, now I have had some amusement this evening...

Okay...entertain me.

Wha?????? Oh MY!

Right through school I played in goal during soccer games and got the nickname "CAT". This has stuck with me ever since and I'm still known as Cat and I even got it tatooed on the inside of my bottom lip when drunk one birthday. Anyhoo, when I had to think up a name for the web all the "Cats" were pretty much gone so I picked moggy. And the "mech" bit is short for mechanical cus I'm mechanical engineer.

Dull I admit, but you asked!

Well I wouldn't call that dull, mech. The inside of your bottom lip, eh ? That must have been painful. Although I guess if you were drunk, you never even felt it.

It hurts me just thinking about it. And I have enough trouble at the dentist office.

Actually...(note that I'm biting the inside of my lip now) I'm not sure if that area is really so sensitive...

Still biting things huh?

Are we appraoching 'too much info' territory here?

A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

And we get LOADS of little bits of knowledge around here...

Not too much info at all, just a note that if you upset the Dimster, you get bitten.
See the bruise on my arm in this picture, need I say more. That's one hell of a bite huh!
http://website.lineone.net/~dim_rc_fl2001/images/dcp_1470.jpg

Well, that disturbs ME!

Are you sure thats a bruise? It looks like a birth mark.

Did she put salt on you before she bit ya ? Like on her fruit ? Inquiring minds want to know.

Trust me, that's no birth mark. I have loads of pictures with bare arms and that mark isn't there.

Plus, the [ain when she did it will be a vivid memory for years to come...

No, seriously, that is disturbing... I'm worried that Dim will bite me if I meet her now...

Yes that is a very disturbing picture you're painting.

Well I don't know, I guess you have to be at a special place in a relationship where someone can bite you like that and you don't kick their butt!

That had better be VERY special.

Was there a particular reason she bit you?

Nah, I kicked her butt

Well he does look delicious. But maybe not to Raz and Ush. Hehehe.

This is only getting MORE disturbing...

Hey Gundy, ya little hottie you!

**In best Joey Tribbiani voice**

How you doin'?

Uh-oh...

Sorry... OK, Dim can explain the bruise herself now...

Yeah, like I'm hanging around listening to the mad biting woman!

OK, we're kinda heading into Mad Cow territory here.

We are? Oh dear...

I'm sure Dim will give RC another slap on his head, for revealing her......biting habits.

Luckily, Dim has promised not to bite me... but I am still seriously worried...

Has she now, there's an interesting thing.

Well, I did grovel a little...

Well, good for you!

She is a reasonable person. For a mad biting woman!

You seem to know more than me on that one...

I VERY much doubt that; I've never been on the receiving end!

Anything I say now will get me in trouble, therefore I choose to say nothing...

Probably a good call.

OK, Next!

*walks in in medieval armour and checks the place carefully for Dim*

Wouldn't a stormtrooper armour have been more appropriate?

Hardly queeq's style.

*slaps Ush on the head with a rubber chicken*

Hmmm, I think we have two clones to worry about now.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Now that's something I can believe.

You... you chickened ME!!?

You should feel honoured. I hear that to be Chickened by queeq is quite an honour...

It's a gesture of contempt!

Well that does depend on your point of view and which planet you are on.

I think he is from Planet Python with this one...

Well, in that case, her has honoured you indeed, and offered you the hand in marraige of his first boirn daughter....

Er...that doesnt sound like him...

Well, that makes two then...

Yeah...

Of course, it may have been a battle to the death challenge.

Oh sugar...

NOt in mine thanks.

Cross-thread weirdness... forget VH-1...

Yeah, but you spotted it.

Twilight is upon this thread...

And not a mod in site (j/k)

Another one of mine falls... must come up with some new ones.

INside of your lip. OMG!!!!!

I guess you'd better. I'm off!

Ta-ra, buddy... all alone...
