I had just come from my dad's house in Canada and he wanted me to apply for an out-of-province moose hunting license. I am actually not a hunter though. I added the Thunder to initimidate people...are you intimidated? lol.
Back in ancient history gaming sites such as westwood,bullit, runescape and others used 'game gods' to monitor the sites. Looking for hackers, backdoor pingers, scammers and the like. We used a golfing term when we 'drove them from the site' we would '' T '' them up. hence my T self. I would 'T' them up myself.

For those trivia-minded folks, Occam's Razor (sometimes spelled as I spell it) is, specifically: "entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem" [entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity].

Min is a reference from the cult comedy show 'Arrested Development'. If you know the show, you'll get the reference. If not, it's just too wierd to attempt to explain :)

Brilliant! I love that show... good name.
This is a good topic... I'd definitely been curious about some usernames.
For me, I'm a huge Pixies fan, and I think Kim Deal is brilliant... the 54 is completely random though. I wish I had a cooler explanation for it. My real name is Michelle, and the username can be a bit confusing cause some people have started calling me Kim. :)

If only there were a site for Japanese Chess, in English since I still have not learned the Japanese characters for the pieces much to my chagrin. I love the fact that you can drop captured pieces.
