I got the name GA_Queen after chatting with GoldAnt_Number1 on ICQ. He was explaining about ant colonies and how all the ants do the bidding of the Queen. A group of workers, all to ensure the survival of the Queen. I liked the sound of that (and being a horrible playing newbie at the time) and I knew that I would need the help of a bunch of worker ants to keep me alive in the game.
My second handle came after a bout with ebay. I had a different name (Mahala), but I forgot the password for it. Something was wrong with my e-mail that day, so I couldn't do the password retrival thing. I wanted to bid on something that was closing soon, so I had to make up a new account. I couldn't use my favorite name, as I had already taken it . I wanted to use something that I can remember, so I tried a bunch (and I mean A BUNCH) of permutations of the name Susan, but all had been taken already. The clock was ticking, so I used the colors of my alma mater, UC Berkeley, which are (Duh) Blue and Gold. They are also the colors of the state of California AND Blue is my favorite color. Pretty basic, but at least I can remember it

David (666) got his name because of his phone extension at work. His company moved to a new location and on the day of assigning new phone extensions to each worker, no one wanted the extention 666. David is not superstitious, and he knows the numbers havent' been bad for me (they are the first 3 numbers of my driver's license), so he valiantly volunteered to take those numbers off the # assigner's hands. He has used the name ever since.

Mine came from a general lack of imagination, and the (mistaken) limitation of player name length. (I didn't realize at the time that the player name box scrolled. doh!). But to make it unique, I used angled brackets and mixed casing.

Back in the day, before access to the Internet was ubiquitous, there were Bulletin Board Systems that you dialed into locally and you had a username or handle, like here, sort of.
Anyway, I am what you would call a jack of all trades, a master of none, like a vortex I tend to pull whatever is handy towards me and bring it to the center, unfortunately, things tend to get mixed up. I have been using this handle for well over fifteen years; except on the Internet, everyone wants to be Vortex. JVortex took the name first, so I added 'the Barbarian' to the end since that is the tank I prefer to use.
Oh and Tiggs, the cat that adopted me was named Tygger, I miss him dearly...

well, it's one of the quieter one's, but it ain't silent. Them turbo fans sound like hoover vacume cleaners blaring through a stage full of Marshall full-stack amps (set to '11' ).

( almost like a Boeing 737 ).

It ought to be. The ordinance was designed to leave a much more lasting impression on you, in you actually.

------------------
An Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
