For the record, CHOAM is the Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles, the all-encompassing super-corporation of the Duniverse. They're like VoidCorp. Wait, that's an even more obscure reference than CHOAM. Never mind.

Guess it's my turn, then. The mudshark is a quasi-legendary (or possibly mythological) figure which appears a number of times in the songs of Frank Zappa. The origin of this is a rather sordid event said to have involved either Led Zeppelin or the Vanilla Fudge, depending upon who's telling the story. Also figuring in are groupies, rented fishing equipment and a waterfront motel in Seattle. If you really want to know any more about it than that, you can do a little looking around here, but to protect the easily-offended and this forum's PG rating, no direct link posted here. |

And let's not even mention those who get it and the Spacing Guild mixed up. :roll: ...Yeah, I'm done. |

Holy crap, even I know what Dune is. My dad had a lot of the books. |
Wow, the forum went from "Why I chose my name" to "The Dune Thread" That's cool!

The first 3 books--Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune--have been made fairly competently into miniseries by the Sci-Fi channel. David Lynch made a movie of Dune, but opinion varies on its quality. Pointy liked it. FOR SOME REASON WHICH ESCAPES ME! :shock: |

Hmm. I wonder if it's possible to find the cliff notes of Dune as read by former FF voice actors.... To google! |

Available for rental on DVD or VHS. Books are still in print.
And nobody paid me to say that. How sad is that? ;) |
Back in March 2003, I wrote my first fiver, Symbiosis. I was just about to send it to Marc, when I realized I hadn`t signed it. So in the three or four seconds before I clicked "Send Email", I just signed myself as Nic Corelli. I have no idea why.
Later, I realized it was a name of one character from a corny TV show called "Savannah"... Nick Corelli (the character who was played by a guy who is now on CSI, playing Nick - again). However, he was Nick, and not Nic, so I`m still original. :mrgreen: Also, the Sci Fi Channel Dune miniseries SUCKED DEAD MONKEYS! I fell asleep while watching it, in the middle of the day! And I had slept 9 hours on the previous night. It was that good. The David Lynch movie totally rocks, however. NAN! :P |

Nic, you have excellent taste. Hooray for Dune threadjacks! :twisted: |

(Actually, Kira's not attached to any particular subsite. The VOY subsite would be the most appropriate, but most of the unfived episodes are mine, so she wouldn't be able to produce regularly.) |

Truth be told, I do not think Dune is filmable. It's too ... too. Of course, that's what they said about LOTR. :) |

My name has a more obscure origin than anyone here might think.
For awhile, before I played Mega Man (yes, there was a time...) I was a huge Pokemon fan. *ducks flaming garbage* Misty was the coolest character to me, since all the guys on the show were pretty wimpy. After I discovered Mega Man (which was ironically through 5MV) I found out about Zero. (It didn't take long. Every single Mega Man site I originally found had "Zero" stamped across it in flaming red letters.) I saw a picture and thought, 'hey, wow, the favorite character is a girl. What a messed up game.' The obvious Barbie jokes came (and it wasn't until much, much later I found out Zero was a guy) and I discarded them. I originally held the screenname Death2Zero to get all the Zero fans (read: 99.9% of the Mega Man X community) hopping mad. However, this is when I heard about the virus. An evil Zero that could easily kill the real one naturally appealed to me. Since 'MaverickZero' in itself was essentially a game character, I changed it to "MaverickZ3r0' in most places. Here I didn't mess with the 'e' because I figure, I've tortured Zero enough. For now. Of course, people who think I'm a Zero fan still get themselves Proto-plasma blasted, but hey, I never said I'd lay off them. Just the blond wonder (for now. Like I said, he's an easy target.) |
