I got mine because I am a HUGE phantom of the opera phan! I adore it! I've seen the movie 131 times, seen the stage play once and plan to go again soon, I've read the Leroux novel more than once, I'm going to read the Susan Kay novel, I've seen the Lon Chaney 1920's film, and I"m talking too much aren't I?
although i couldn't say i'm much of a phantom-phan, i do have an interesting story about the phantom . . .Quote:

last halloween, the church i attend had a screening of the 1920s lon chaney film (which was pretty cool, and the only phantom thing i've ever seen), with live accompaniment by our church organist. in the middle of the show, this guy (who doesn't go to our church; in fact, no one there had ever seen him before) walks down the aisle to the back of the narthex and moves the cross into the one beam of light that's coming through the window, and kneels before it for a little while. people think it's kinda weird, but no one really does anything. later, we hear splashing sounds coming from behind us. so we turn around and he is at the bowl of holy water, drinking out of it, splashing it on his head, etc. so somebody goes back and quietly says, "this is holy water, you know." he says, "i know!" she says, "we've got a drinking fountain in the hall." he says, "don't question me!! i need it!!" so a couple guys from the church go back to talk to him. one of them says something, to which the guy responds, LOUDLY, "I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!?" they get him out of the sanctuary into the lobby, and eventually (i'm not really sure how) out of the church onto the street. meanwhile, another member of the congregation called the cops. after he had given the cops a description of the guy, they said something like, "oh yeah, he's been to a few different churches this evening doing the same kind of thing . . . " so they came by and picked him up off the street. we never really found out what happened to him after that.
so this doesn't have anything to do with my screen name, but it is a weird story that has to do slightly with Phantom of the Opera. afterwards, our priest wouldn't really comment on if she thought the holy water bowl was defiled and needed to be blessed/exorcised/re-dedicated or whatever (i don't really know what they do), but she said she would DEFINITELY wash it . . . :pope:
where did you see it? apparently the cast that played at the Pantages Theatre in Toronto were wonderful. i didn't get to see that show, though; i saw it in Detroit a couple times.Quote:

I got my screen name from one of my characters from the comic I'm planning. Nothing too special really.

Not many know them, but for those who do, you have my respect and hugs!
I use dudesuperior for everything- but i can't remember when or why i started using it
:goodjob:
When I was about 9 my dad said I did half-assed job on cutting the lawn, but I thougt he said halfasked, not halfassed, so when I made my first sn on yahoo I made halasked1. Later I used it on a couple things. But for some reason, whenever I start in new forum or something, I use halfasked1. Been using it for 7 years, why stop now?
1. To make (an offense or crime) seem less serious; extenuate.
2. To make less severe or intense; mitigate: tried unsuccessfully to palliate the widespread discontent.
3. To relieve the symptoms of a disease or disorder.
Are you suggesting that we will feel better if we take you orally? :PQuote:

Pyrhho was an ancient greek philosopher dude, so is considered to have founded the philosophical skepticism. Hence why it's called pyrhhonism.
If you want some more info on skepticism (like an explanation) check
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_skeptic
But I got the idea to name myself after an obscure philosopher from "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card. Because the kids pick philosopher names to influence politics (e.g., Demosthenes). And, really.. I have never had to add numbers, or anything else to my name, no matter what website I sign up for, because no one else is ever called pyrhho.
