That's because your body has to house such a large heart and nice attitude :)

btw,you are however still on the list of psycho men to be avoided :)

Veh-em-en-tee

Many of you have played FF7. This is part of the theme song, A One-Winged Angel, where the chorus is "Estuans Interius Ira Vehementi".

That seems one of the weller known versions of the word, but in fact I used this handle before FF5...

It means "rage" or "anger" in latin. I know, if I could think of something better I would jump on it :D I'm stilling looking for something else, Vehementi is getting a tad bit old, and it's a little too popular...would someone bother Vehementi@hotmail.com for me? :D

Just like it is spelled. I-ron Wood.

The e is silent :p

I wanted something that sounded strong, yet something with an old english twist to it. Hence Iron Woode.

CARE-uh-mel.

A double entendre.

Cara means sweet/dear/darling in the romance languages; Mel being the first 3 letters of my name.

Caramel is also something that tastes mighty fine.

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. Go, Joe!

Scow-zer

I was trying to think of a name for my character in Asheron's Call, and I just thought of Scouzer. Later I learn it is British slang for someone from Liverpool. God knows how many times I've been asked in games 'Are you from Liverpool???' then their weird reactions when I say I'm from Western Canada...

I think it's rather obvious how to pronounce it. Born is my last name. Some kids in honors physics (yeah, laugh it up) thought that it sounded like porn so the obvious move was to refer to me as BornStar. And, quite obviously, here in the states you have to be 18 to be a porn star. There you have it.

E-vad - Man ( vad pronounced like the "ed" sound from "plad" not "evade" )

Nickname from when I was 7 or 8. Bunch of us in our little clique decided backwards names were cool. I am the only one besides my buddy Nad who still use this nickname. DAve became Evad, Dan became Nad, Chad became Dahc ( who the hell would name their kid after a country! ). Course we had to think up other names for the 2 other guys who have the name dave as well. One is K-ball , the other is Kennedy. We are Dave cubed!

I also have the nickname of "momentum" form a game of basket ball where Nad and myself went up for a rebound and colided in midair. I came down on my feet, he flew like 5 feet away from me and landed on his head :)
