A God Without A Name.
its a quote from the song Information, by Dredg.
sadly that verse (and two others) gets cut out of the video...
He woke up next to her, his head against her head
His hand upon her breast, he knew today meant death
He kissed her on the cheek, and then on her lips
Thought to himself, "it's the last time I'll do this"
Put on a suit, pressed and clean
He brushed his hair, grabbed his keys
Then he headed out to the morning air
With an anticipation no man could bear
The air was heavy
He could feel it in his lungs
With every step he took, a prayer rolled off his tongue
They were prayers of forgiveness, and prayers of praise
And his actions a gift for a god without a name

I always thought it was Just A Tele. oops.Jusatele said:
My screen name is the online name I've been using for a very long time.
AutoBat came from a combination of Transformers Autobots & my favourite ska band The Aquabats
Previously I had used Decepticon, but that's quite over-used, and those movies haven't helped things.

my initials L A and at the time, I was from Los Angeles, but it goes a little further....
When I was in 7th grade, I used to listen to an evening sports talk show on the radio, it was baseball season and I was a huge Dodgers fan, so I called one night to ask a question and many of the recurring callers all had nicknames, so I made up LAFROMLA. The next morning my geometry teacher saw me in the hallway and called out 'Hey LAFROMLA'. He recognized my voice from the radio show. I have always kept that nickname. But when AOL came out I tried using that as my screen name and something got screwed up and I had to add the 1 to it to get it to take properly.

thats really cool! the one time i called into a radio show i kind of got into an argument / misunderstanding with the host. somebody called in and, to paraphrase, said "our old boss wouldn't let us play music anymore after she heard Nirvana's Rape Me. can you play some Courtney Love for us since we're allowed to listen to radio stations again?"
so i called in and said something like "don't you think that's a little ironic?" the radio host had no idea what i meant, so i said something like it was messed up to play Hole for them since Courtney Love was probably the reason Kurt offed himself :laughing7: the host didn't see the humor in it at all.

I thought of mine when I was fifteen. One of my favorite movies is "American Graffiti." Any of you movie buffs know that a LOT of stars got their movie start here (Richard Dreyfus, Cindy Williams, Harrison Ford, McKenzie Phillips, Ron Howard, Suzanne Sommers...). It was also George Lucas' first real big movie before he became insanely famous with Star Wars. That explains where the "Graffiti" part came about. The "62" is the year the movie is supposed to take place--1962.
If you've never seen it, it really is a piece of cinematic history, plus, you get to see what Dreyfus and Howard looked like back when they had hair.
But it totally has nothing to do with my name at all--my real name is Mike Arendt.

It's the automatic ID I was assigned when I started at Ottawa University (i.e mgaut051@u.ottawa.etc).
My aliases are McFly, Massissi and Goats.
I don't know why I kept it, but it stuck, and it will stick... weird.
