    well...

    I usually just use Drake simply because i like latin and Draconius is latin for a standard bearer, who carried a dragon standard , of the late Roman empire (classical one) and i anglicized it. I choses tiberius because i believe that he is probably the most underaprreciated of the Julio-Claudian emperors (first five emperors). also it is a common ancient latin name.

But this is where the real difficulties begin, since each student inevitably selects, constitutes criteria, according to his own unconscious assumptions, social, ethical or political. Moral conditioning, in the widest sense, plays a far greater part in the matter than most people- especially the historians themselves-ever realize."

    Ive used germanpeon since I started playing Warcraft 3 on battlenet, and I chose that name for some random reason. It doesnt really apply to anything else (for lack of Wc3 peons), but I use it anyway.

    Cool topic.


    When I was in 7th-8th grade I was getting pretty interested in the Third Reich and it's history. Many of my friends started jokingly calling me "Hitler" and "nazi". To screw with them, and because I think it's a cool name, I thought of a cool name.

    Do you think the Golden Rule should apply to masochists as well?

    92% of teens have moved onto rap. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your signature. yes that's right i dont listen rap..

    I couldn't think of any other name so I just took one from the book I was reading at that time. The name comes from the general forsaken, Sammual, in Robert Jordan's WoT series.

    My handle comes from the trademark used by a long-forgotten anarchist named Zoy Clem.

    He and a fellow conspirator (the Floy Boy) hoped to overthrow the government by defacing dollar bills with stupid artwork and odd statements such as "PLAY MONEY" or "FAKE" in prominent locations. Their signatures overlaid those of the original Treasurer and Secretary.

    These two radicals would then spend this capital to place it back into circulation, hoping to confuse clerks and bank tellers everywhere. Or at least that’s how I pictured it.

    Needless to say, the plan failed, but the artwork was very good and looked like it belonged on the bills. The only drawback was that the guerilla artists used extremely bright colors, which made the currency stand out like a long-extinct three-dollar note.

    Anyway, I came upon one of these bills, and found the name Zoy Clem bizarre enough to remember, so eventually I started using it as a blog handle, partly because it seemed unique (I wouldn't have to worry about others taking it first), and also because it had a somewhat surreal history.

    Just a helpful tip, don't posts in threads that have been dead (no posts) for a period of time. Especially not just under a year.
