How\'d you get your handle?

I\'ll just copy-paste it over ;)

By the way, everyone calls me Mosch. In the Bundeswehr I was sometimes referred to as \"Schütze Mosch\" ;)

Begin copy-paste NOW:

My nickname is actually... um... kind of... strange.

In school when we had Latin we would be taught by a 30 year old guy who looked like 20, smelled like 90 and had this absolutely gay voice. Yes, his voice was 100% like you image the stereotypical gay guy. He was married, though, but we could never find out if he had a wife or husband. He probably was married to his vocal chords and cuddled too much.

However, Latin was always quite late in the day, the last lesson on our eight hour day and I think the fifth one on tuesday, I don\'t remember... anyway, we were all bored and we never really wanted to do Latin. So, of course, we enterntained ourselves.

Now, to understand my nick I must tell you that I have some kind of genetic mutation causing a much too high percentage of male hormones. That does not mean I have to have Sex every 10 minuites (that\'s always the first thing people ask), but it does mean that I look... let\'s say overly masculine. Or, to be more precise, my beard started growing when I was 13 and if I do not shave, I will look like Karl Marx in half a year.

On with the story. My chumps (definitely not friends) always liked drawing me - but keep in mind they could not draw. If they were bored, theywould draw anything just to pass the time.

They would even draw, let\'s say, a gayish Latin teacher as a frog featuring my beard and glasses.

The concept seemed so funny to them that Latin class hat to be aborted to get them to stop laughing. When asked what they have just violated that poor piece of paper with, the best answer they could give was of course not \"your exorbitantly funny voice that is the reason we are here anyway on a frog\" but \"it\'s half human and half frog.\"

Now human in German is Mensch, frog is Frosch. Because it resembled me a lot (only the glasses and beard part, mind you) they said it was me - they did not have the guts to tell him that it was supposed to be him. Suddenly, I was half man, half frog - M(ensch)(Fr)osch. There also a picture of me as a table (don\'t ask), that\'s why you might find me as Toesch.

And there is even a comic about me, and several more crude drawings of several things that were supposed to look like me. That somewhat buried into the heads of everyone, and now I\'m just Mosch. A friend of mine even called my father \"Mr Mosch\" once - and neither of them thought this was odd. So basically, everyone calls me Mosch (btw, it\'s pronounced \"Mosh\" for all you english-native-tonguers... whatever.).

Mine comes from the movie \"angel heart\". i choosed it cause it sounds good.
Moreover, Lucifer means \"the one who brings the light\" and i\'m sure you all know the story of the fallen angel.
This also explains my signature, taken from \"paradise lost\" by milton, which tells the story of this angel.

Mine is acctually a short form of my original nick (I never heard the word \"handle\").
I was looking for a nice name, because I wanted to post some of my fanfictions on the net. I was really into manga then (are still) so I looked for a japanese name. I went from my acctualy name, Cheryll, to short, Cherry, to Sakurando (Cherry in japanese) to Sakura Endo. By now I\'m arrived at the conclusion that it sounds strange, so I cut away Endo.

My (dave3555) come from [boringly] me having trouble finding a username for many forums that was not allready taken so in the end I simply took my name and (frustratedlt) added my student id number from back in the days of my education at school, and uni. Kinda just stuck to the same \'handle\' online ever since..

ok well, my names story pretty boring.
When I started playing counterstrike at the end of 2000, I had to come up with a good name. Me and a friend of mine started a clan called Karjala Takaisin! ( Karjala back! in english). So the message was that Karjala should be given back to Finland( it was lost to Soviet Union in WW2 :( , nothing terribly serious about it but a catchy line nonetheless. So one evening I was thinking about a nick for myself and I saw a Koff-beer can on the table and remembered an elementary tripp to some old Sinebrychoff ( Koff ) brewery from 19th century - so I thought that \" Sinebrychoff \" sounded weird enough and stuck with it for about half a year. Then I realised that it was too long, so I shortened it to Sineb, and replaced the \" e \" with a \" 3 \" ( that was a cool thing to do back then.. ) So sin3b it is. http://kat.0wns.org/index.htm <- our clans homepage ( horribly out of date BTW ) , were currently inactive, but maybe someday well get things together again.. maybe :)
