It's largely through Dave's that I first learned about trolls and flamebait. So when it came time to choose a username, I combined the two terms.

So how about you? What does your name mean and/or why did you choose it?

My parents chose mine. It's Gaelic for 'John,' and isn't pronounced 'Owen.'

Haven't we done this before? I really, really like cucumbers. To eat. Really. And I love the dual-vowel, non-consonantal nature of ??.

I'm just fascinated by how Koreans and most Asians must say the word 'Ok' three times successively.

And I was watching an old Amazing Race, when the taxi driver didn't know where to go and got the contestants lost or something. The contestant screamed at him, "It's NOT ok,ok,ok!"
I laughed and it was the first thing that came to mind when I signed up.

My real name is Thomas, which is pronounced in Korean as 토마스, which is similar to 토마토.
The children tease me by calling me 토마토, whereupon I chase and tickle them.

Porter Goss was the Director of the CIA and I began posting as "him" satirically� someone would say "George Bush is an idiot!" and I�d respond with something like "Note to self, target for rendition."

Then he quit. It's too much of a hassle to start a new account, but on the other boards I'm John Dimitri Negroponte.

Character in a favorite novel - Satan, actually, but a very sympathetic figure. Gets to say the words in my sig, which reflect my basic optimism.

I wasn't able to use the name I always use for boards and for AIM b/c I registered under it for the Taiwan forum. "Smee" came to mind after watching "Hook," and now Smee is a household name in South Korea.
