I was talking about AF the other day with my parents and I mentions the kiwis! My mom ask what they were and told here the NZ peepes of AF! :D
Well.......she didn't know whereit came from and I explainded
Now to get to my point. :p
Where did the AFer's get thier screennames? Why did you chose it and does it stand for anything? I know most are cars, but some aren't and just wondering? :)

Carnut-any explanations needed?
As far as avatar, I've always went my own way, never followed anyone. If you don't like it, oh well.

Mines pretty simple...
Grendel: He was the enemy from the story "Beowulf" I read it last year in 12th grade and thought "that is a neat name"
I have used it on a bunch of online RPGs and Message Boards... gotta stay with the same name :)

It's very common for us New Zealanders to be called Kiwis just as the Australians get called Kangaroos.
My screen name comes from my favorite cartoon character.

y do we call you kiwis? do you grow kiwi fruit or somet? i neva understood that, same as i never understood why we call americans yanks.

the Kiwi is a native bird only found in New Zealand due to its expert flying ability (or lack thereof).
It has become the New Zealand icon alongside the silver fern.
as for the Americans being called yanks I think it may be because the rest of the world sees them as a pack of wankers if you are American . . . I'm just KIDDING
oh and yes we do grow kiwi fruit (which I believe originated in China (but I could be wrong))

VideoNasty
07-28-2002, 01:13 PM
VideoNasty, not just a clever porn name. Or a 1337 hacker name.
Its taken from a song by the British Goth/Punk band known as The Damned, title of said song: Nasty.
Lyrics: Catch, Catch the Horror taxi, I fell in love with a Video Nasty!
Fom the rest of the song you can gather that a 'Video Nasty' is a horror movie, hence why I call myself VideoNasty

Yes, the Panda was christened by me because of certain acts he likes to perform! :p :hehehe:
I’ve got a Series 2 Skyline (also known as a Spec2), hence how I got my screenname. :D

hmmm what should I say about Darkness.
It's got numerous reasons. It's one of my fave comic books. It fits in with my like of dark almost gothic things(I'm not gothic though).
There are some other reasons but are more personal, so I won't elaborate.
