Master Shake is actually my favorite, too. I just see myself as more of a Meatwad... albeit an angry Meatwad... and certainly not immature... actually, it's mainly just my stature that makes us similar.

I was just on a Tolkien kick. Hurin was my favorite character in The Silmarillion, and the greatest of the warriors of mortal men in Tolkien's corpus. If you're interested, I also recommend the work called the 'Narn-i-hin-Hurin', which never made it into the Silmarillion but was published in one of the 'Making of Middle Earth' volumes--you can read it here:

**Martok** · 08-22-2005, 17:02

I got my nickname from Martok, the Klingon general (and later Chancellor) from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I liked his character so much that I adopted it as my online name in most forums--starting with this one.

Fifth Century Greek Lyric poet:

Επάμεροι · τί δέ τις; τί δ’ ού τις; σκιάς όναρ άνθρωπος

( Creatures of a day. What is he? What is he not? A shadow in a dream is man )

I dont know if any of you like Akira Kurosawa films at all, but thats where my name comes from. In "Throne of Blood" the master`s version of Shakespeares Hamlet, the main character is General Washizu, I liked the character so much i stole his name, however i swapped the a and the i around.

**Aenlic** · 08-22-2005, 22:09

Aenlic is Saxon/Old English for solo/alone. It transformed into "anly" in Middle English and then "only" in modern English. It should be Ænlic; but I'm usually too lazy to use the alt-keypad combos and some places don't support them.

I just figure your nick was ebonics slang... as in:

White guy: "I just won a million bucks!"

Black guy: "I wishazu nukka."
