Bugweed came from my youngest boy when he was 4. He was watching his mom working in the yard and asked her what she was doing. She told him she was pulling the weeds. A little later, he was with me when I was cleaning up my CP tables, and asked me what kind of weeds they were. I said that these plants ate bugs. He looked up at me, quizzical look on his face, wrinkled his brow and said, "Bugweeds?" I fell down laughing, and took the name.
good one BW, I actually refer to my plants as BugWeeds from time to time, it's just fun to say...
My handle is from a cooking show called The Urban Peasant... the host, James Barber, is a curmudgeonly old British fellow with a whole lot of incorrect facts to share, and he is especially wrong about a lot of Japanese things... mabudon (pronounced "Mabooooo- Dawn") was his idea of some kind of noodle soup, but a quick search on google reveals nothing of the sort... I think he was thinking Udon but I'm pretty sure his grammar was all wrong.
Just so you know, you have to pronounce it with a really goofy British accent to get it just right

scup- VERY RANDOM!!!! lol I had wondered about that...
SydneyNeps- I know there's stuff with similar names, but you'd have to hear the way the guy says the word, it can NOT be Japanese (plus I've searched the 'net and haven't found much, although admittedly I don't have japanese character support)

I used to be in a band here in Rochester, we had the hardest time coming up with a name! eventually the band's name became "Johnny Chaos".
we played from 1995-2000.

when I first went on-line in 1996, I just picked "scottychaos" as a user name for some random forum, then just started using it for everything!
I was in my 20's when I was in the band, just a few years out of college..
now its 10 years later, im 36, and I dont care for the name that much anymore..but I guess I will just keep using it!

My name's is from the video game called Super Mario Bros, and one of the enemies is a Piranha Plant and since it's basically a vft, but instead of eating bugs, it eats plumbers and since this was a cp forum, i wanted a name to match and the other reason, the one I used for another forums, willn't fit in here and probably wouldn't be allowed

Well I've always been into asian culture. And Foo Dogs are one of my favorite mythical creatures.
Heres a breif description
"Temple lions first appeared in China with the coming of Buddhism. They are described as small with a swelling cape of dignity around its neck and billowing standard of pomp above its back. Their function is to protect and guard against evil and are often seen protecting buildings of great importance. These Temple lions symbolize great strength and great courage. When the male Lion is seen playing with a ball which signifies the moon pearl which symbolizes blessings and the ball also represents the sun which is Yang. The female lion is seen with a cub lion under her foot and symbolizes Protection. "

I made this name years ago when I was obsessed with a game called
"Chrono Cross" and my online name is Kiento. So I just kind of added em together and got ChronoKiento. I don't use it anymore now I use SilverKiento. Silver is my favorite color. My username is why people always think I'm Japanese. x_x;

*shrug* Mine started in high school, when I read a book that used psuedo-greek/latin to describe a character I liked as "Anasses Duses" (lawless leader). I took Anasses as an online nic when I started college. There were too many "Kims" around. It was unique. No one else had it. I was in my day thought of as a rule-breaker. I've only ever found one other person in the world using it (another fan of the same book).
But then a site decided my nic was offensive because it had a-s-s in it. So I further "greek-ized" it to Anoxos.
Kept it ever since. Again, unique. Don't have to append letters or numbers to it. I'm used to it...
