    I like the Knights Templar, however Knight Templar was taken so I called myself Templar Knight.

    Red. Dwarf.
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Everyone says no I thought I would say yes.

    I came across the title once, thought it sounded hella cool, and used it in almost every forum since. Thrilling stuff! Stay tuned for more.. Tales of Interest!
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    Mine is from an excellent kid's cartoon - Histeria, which made fun of history while teaching it (albeit in a cursory manner). It had a skit about Alexander the Great and his father. Alexander would keep on doing impressive things that his father would dismiss as "pretty good."

    Alexander (while surfing on a chariot pulled by lions): Hey dad! Check this out!
    Dad: Pretty good, son. Not great; but pretty good.

    I found it funny, and I'm certainly not great...

    Thanks, I thought it was kind of clever but it doesn’t really have any meaning behind it. I dig the way some people (like you) have a name that means something to them.
