i started using this as my standard web-forum handle some time back. for a while, i got really hung up on the KMFDM song "Oh Look," which is mostly a collage of samples from 1940s-1950s civil defense propaganda, particularly the Duck and Cover song. for some reason, it just struck me as the funniest, and most asinine thing that i have ever heard.

here's a funny flash animation that accompanies said song (because the original film is much less hilarious):
 Duck and Cover!

A buddy of mine, when he left town, formed a Rover troop in the big city.  The "Boy Scout" progression goes Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Ventures, Rovers.  Rovers are all in their early 20's and spend most of their time **94**.

Anyways, they were the Vancouver 1st Wandering Wombats, and that stuck me as the coolest name.  So I stole it.  Don't tell him.

For the longest time I've tried to figure out the meaning behind your name.  Thanks for letting us all know.

Charlemagne was a fruit...

 "Count Roland smites upon the marble stone;
I cannot tell you how he hewed it and smote;
Yet the blade breaks not nor splinters, though it groans;
Upward to heaven it rebounds from the blow.
When the count sees it never will be broke,
Then to himself right softly he makes moan;
'Ah, Durandal, fair, hallowed, and devote,
What store of relics lies in thy hilt of gold!'"

-From The Song of Roland
(Translated by Dorothy Sayers, Viking Penguin, NY, NY, 1957)

Duggeh is a not terribly clever reworking of Douglas, but Douglas tends to already be taken as a username. I used to use proper online  nicks but discovered that I didnt actually like being called by them on IRC or in online games. So its just been Duggeh for a long time now.

Once, a long time ago, I became fascinated with darkness, evil, and ultimately, Hell itself. I truely believe that I wish to be a devil; I'm not even close to worthy of godhood, or even the lofty mantle of an angel. So the next best option is devil, a creature that is powerful, but, by its hellish and outcast nature, humble. Now, all bullshit aside. My name comes from the number which is the sum of the equation of Hell; 666. (6 times 6 times 6, get it?) The "Q," well... It just looks cool.

LOL...


Me...mortal?  Well, I should have died several times by now, but I'm still kicking so I'm not sure about the mortal thing.

As for the dollar...sure, but you'll have to come to North Carolina and get it.  I moved the hell out of MD a few years ago.

 Ahh, my name. First off, for reference, Sauerkraut is, I believe, a well-known German dish involving cabbage, or is a type of cabbage, I can't quite remember.
 Anyways, I'm a big WW2 buff, especially with the Germans (Though not the Nazis, just the regular guy, the average Hans). Germans were often given the nickname 'Kraut' as a reference to sauerkraut. But, of course, if I just used Kraut then people might think I'm German so I instead opted for Sauerkraut. Nice and simple, ja!

Wow, this thread dates back to '03 and I don't recall ever seeing it before.

My name was from the style of handlebars on my bike. I had a crazy 70's style chopper with handlebars that I had to reach up over my head to ride. I've mellowed a lot with age and now have a cruiser with standard bars, but the name still sticks.
