    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...

    A Roman Emperor whose name doesn't sound bad, or is incredibly deranged. At least, not compared to most of the Julio-Augustan dynasty.

    I was inspired after a couple people in my town got attacked and rather seriously injured by feral rabbits.

    And it reminds me of Monty Python.

    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.

    My favorite unit in MTW were billmen and they recieve a valour bonus if their produced in Mercia, thus mercian billman seemed appropriate.

    You know another year has passed when the "How Did You Choose your Name?" thread pops up. It's an old favorite.

    When there was only Shogun: TW, many of us chose Japanese nicknames. Mine means "the wind caused by a sword swing". I found it as the name of a WWII Japanese destroyer.

    In other instances, I use Bachikaze, which would mean "the wind caused by swinging a drumstick" (not a chicken leg).


    Screw luxury; resist convenience.

    What's really strange is that I got deja vu reading this post.
