Why/how did we choose our nicknames? - Page 25

I wasn't trying to be clever. It's the part of the name of one of my favorite old school porn stars (King Paul) and the first initial of my name. It just worked out that way.

Its very simple in my case. I was looking for vintage movies and it is a vintage site.

Ditto, as i posted here an age ago.

Just lately i've been wondering if it's a suitable moniker for me being a moderator now, and wanting to be perceived as impartial? As i believe a moderator should be.

When I first came here three years ago I only wanted to share some of what i had collected over many years and exchange with others of similar interest. I have used the same username on other forums before, (although there is no question where my allegiance is).
I didn't fully realise that i already had most of the scenes from her short career, which were generally renamed/relabeled/repackaged under different titles, so having a short attention span i kinda wandered off into GD&N and made a nuisance of myself there.

I'd love to be able to claim some responsibility for Blondi having such a 'courteous' thread (and i do moderate in Classic Pornstars), although i can't claim that as she has many 'minders' here at VEF who are righteously quick to report anything untoward. Kudos to you all.

I'd like to think 'Karma' is something i hold in highest regard, but who am i kidding? Guess I'll always be a blondi fan, even if it as much for what i believe she represents as much as anything.

Office Boy came from a phrase I used to use, still do sometimes, and it stuck. It may have originated from a comic I seem to recall. I do a fair bit of work on the computer doing various things, and I call this area I work in, the office. It's the nerve centre of my house.
If ever I get round to it, I'll post a picture of what I'm surrounded by in here. I sometimes use the phrase,'He's just an office boy.' Which means he isn't relevant/important. And I'm sure there'll be a few who think the same.

But what the hell!
Blondie, I could have mistaken you for being a fan of Debbie Harry first off. But I admire your taste in women.

One would think that my user name might be an homage to all things Apple, with the "i-" part. But I've never been a fan of anything Apple (although I do enjoy their iPods). I've disliked Apple since the earliest days of home computers, 30 years now.

My user name is a slightly modified name of a guy I can't stand, who uses Apple computers and works with graphic design. Because Photochop can also refer to playful use Photoshop, I merged those two ideas together. Also, VEF is one of those sites he most likely wouldn't visit, so this is sort of an indirect way of thumbing my nose at him.

Not only do I collect porn (the main reason for the name) but I collect pretty much everything I'm into like games, cds, toys, cultural art, UFC event postors, bands postors, video game memorabilia ect.

Believe it or not, one of several bands i was in played a lot of Blondie covers, although the singer was a redish kind of blonde, i still developed quite a crush on her. Stone Fx.

I still have a ticket stub from a Blondie concert in Melbourne, years ago.
When they 'punched' the ticket they punched out the 'e' perfectly.
Reminds me i must scan that sometime.

My nickname comes from one of the best villains in gaming, SHODAN. The numbers are the current year.

System Shock 2 is one of the most atmospheric and scary PC games ever made, in my opinion (and was the main influence for Bioshock, as the game play mechanics are rather similar - Irrational Games developed both titles and was founded by former members of Looking Glass Studios, who produced the Thief games and also helped produce System Shock 2).
