I've loved Katharine from the first time I saw her...no matter how much people didn't seem to "get" her or whatever happened I remained a Kat freak!! So I thought the name "McFreak" and a crazy, freaky cat avatar would be appropriate.

Okay,well, my screen name is actually my real name (Big shock! I know).

I was named after my grandfather whose name was Rama, he died a week before I was born.. so, according to Indian philosophy, his soul went into my body. So, in honor of him, they named me Yuvaram, roughly translated, it means 'Young Ram'. I know it's a bit far-fetched, but I actually believe it. Sometimes I envision things that happened in the past.. it's a little scary too

I'm actually the only Yuvaram there is as far as I can tell, I've searched..I know. There's another one, but he  was named after me, I have never seen him, she's my mother's friend's son.. apparently, they liked the name.. they live in a different country.

So, In short, I'm the only Yuvaram you'll ever meet

My baby niece started calling me Missa because she couldn't pronounce my real name (Marisa).  Now she's 18 and still calls me that.

How did you come up with your screen name?
My car tag is "NASAMAN", my motorcycle tag is "NASA GUY" and my on-line user name for almost everything (banking, blogs, etc) has also long been nasaman, so that's where my KMF screen name came from. But a couple months ago some kind of technical glitch caused Chad to ask me to change it to something different ....that's where "nasaman2k" (nasaman for the 3rd millennium, I guess) came from. But anyone here can call me Phil, my real name, or anything else you prefer.  Jus' be sure ya call me for dinner AND WELL IN ADVANCE OF ANY BROADCAST OF KAT!

That's REALLY cute, Marisa! I can't believe you spell your name with only one "r" and one "s". My best friend spells it like that! Are you my best friend? LOL

KAT IN GLASSES!!!

My screen name is 15 years old. Many of you now by now I really am a critic (as in movies) and as for the Sir, well ... here's how I explained that on my movie blog:

Well, the answer could be that I’m really a knight of the British empire. But I’m not.

Or it could be that I was really fond of the Peanuts character Marcie, who called Peppermint Patty “sir” all the time. I liked Marcie, but that’s not why either.

No, Sir Critic came about in 1991 when I was reviewing movies for Wright State’s student newspaper, The Guardian. I had just seen The Fisher King, one of my favorite movies of that year. This wonderfully weird Terry Gilliam film included a lot of talk of knights and medieval times, and it had such a powerful impact on me, I thought it would be fun to write the review from the standpoint of a knight called Sir Phil M. Critic.

(Interesting coincidence: My dad’s name is Phil.)

I wrote, “…just as Sir Critic believed he was completely satisfied with the film, he noticed two dreadful-looking forms heading straight for him. ‘Zounds!’ he exclaimed. ‘Those are the dragons of rational thought — the ones who conspire to strip my opinions of all their positiveness!”

The “dragons” put up a good fight and forced me to admit the film had some flaws, but I still prevailed in the end because the film won me over.

Readers loved the review, people took to calling me Sir Critic, and the name stuck. It’s been my online identity ever since. Another of my friends, a graphic designer, even made me a nifty Sir Critic sign that I display at my desk.

All this, and I don’t even own a sword. But you know what they say about the pen being mightier. Although wait a minute … I don’t use a pen to write this blog.

The keyboard is mightier than the sword?

Zounds! It rhymes, but it just doesn’t have the same ring to it, does it?

Well you see, I became a pontiff and invented this calendar to compete against Julian's version...

No, no...that's just the imaginative version of Greg talking. I've actually explained my SN over at the 'AI' board numerous times, but I think some people still had a face when I did. I'll explain it again so I hope it makes sense:

To be honest, the SN can potentially have a negative connotation, which still worries me for those who have a large vocabulary. Ordinarily, the word 'Cant' means pious speech that's insincere. The meaning I went for, though, is another meaning (usually at the bottom of the one above) that means "jargon associated with a particular profession." Mostly, the SN is a play on words for 'Gregorian Chant'...and a lot of people here end up calling me that by mistake (understandably). Adding the 'Cant' word with the definition I said above, it's basically saying that I could potentially be spouting Gregorian Cant...but I spare people to it. I do know some jargon associated with certain professions that would probably make people turn away in utter confusion if I used it here.

And then there's also another meaning of 'Cant' for a variation of a religious chant used by monks during the Gregorian era. Sometimes I think I'll just stick with that to keep future explanations simpler.

By the way, I would have used 'Greg' here, but I realized there's about 45,894,724 other Gregs in the world who probably also have the 'McPheever.' And, of course, there was already a 'Greg' registered here so I couldn't use the SN. It seems there's always numerous people who register under the name 'Greg' and then never post a thing.

okay, charthos217. well i'll start with the easy one. 2/17 is my birthdate. february 17th.

charthos, however, is a little longer. my friends madeline, mary, and i wanted to be the 3 musketeers in 7th grade. madeline decided she wanted to be d'artagnon, and mary wanted to be aramis. the only one left was some fat guy who slept with a lot of women and smoked a lot. and i didn't want to be him, so i created my OWN musketeer. charthos!

and that's how i got my username. charthos217.

Well, I came up with carnation simply because I have always loved carnations. I never really liked roses, maybe because I felt they were commonly adored already by many. So I turned my attention to somehting else and what caught my attention was carnations. They had this really nice light touch of various colours at the very edges of each petal. And coupled with the edges grown with razor like but not sharp-like trimmings makes me appreciate the natural beauty side of carnations. They last longer which to me, brings a apecial meaningful meaning of a longer lasting life. I simply just love carnations!
