[Crawford]

My name is that of my first character I ever created in Dungeons and Dragons. Crawford was a kick ass cleric whose specialty was destroying undead and hellish creatures.  I managed to him to level 32. He was a walking holy arsenal and would later give his life to destroy this massive keep which was the gateway to the negative plane as well as a factory floor for the creation of new and terrifying creatures. His daughter Eve would later become our world's first cleric/magic user split class character. ahhhh the good ol days.

[beachgal26]

Hi, C3Nostalgia!  I used to live in the Pittsburgh area and still remember when they blasted out the area that would become Century III Mall.  It was one of the best I had ever seen and am so saddened to hear that it's fallen by the wayside and may end up closing one day soon.

:o:hurt::(

[beachgal26]

For my name, it reflects where I always wish that I could be (at least in the summer since Memphis is kind of land-locked) plus my lucky number.

;):bigsmile::)

[The Adamantium Elbow]

I got the idea from a character on The Fairly Oddparents cartoon. One of the characters is a superhero in a comic book known as The Crimson Chin. He fights a bad guy known as The Bronze Kneecap. The Adamantium part I got from my favorite X-Man Wolverine since that's what his claws are made of.

I was really bored when I thought it up.:insane:

[IGA/Kmart Is Forever!]

The #1 Discount Department Stores that my mother took me to shop at back when I was growing up were Gold Circle, Hills, & Kmart. My mother also went to an Ames Department Store that we had that was local to our area. However, when Ames went through their first bankruptcy back in 1990 there were no more Ames Department Stores in my area for my mother to shop at and take me to. The only Ames Department Store that we had locally shut down in their first wave of bankruptcy store shutdowns. However, when Ames Department Stores bought the Hills Department Store Chain in 1998, it made Ames local for me to shop at again. Only problem was that Ames went out of business four years later. By the time that 2002 hit, three of my four favorite chains that my mother took me to shop at while I was growing up were all gone which was Gold Circle, Hills, & Ames leaving me with just Kmart. The last thing that I want to see happen to my last favorite Discount Department Store of my childhood is suffer the same fate as Gold Circle, Hills, & Ames. Therefore, I created my user name in what I hope and pray becomes reality which is: Kmart Is Forever!

My boss at a particular Ames store where I worked only had one arm.

People started calling me The Fugitive because the one-armed man was
ruining my life.   ;D

[MikeRa]

MikeRa

Basicilly my first name and the first two letters of my last name.

[ynkeesfn82]

Marc B - It's my name. Marc is my first name. B is the first letter of my last name.

All my life even people who should know better misspell my first name. And they can't pronounce my last name even though it's simple. You see my last name in my signature below - Bramhall. If you can't figure out how to pronounce it you break it into two words. Bram Hall. That's how it's pronounced.

[busman_49]
