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

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.

Explain your mysterious handles here...
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 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).
