What's your Nick?
Sunday, February 23, 2003 by Green Armani | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Alright, I've gotten quite a few people ask me why are you calling yourself Green_Armani. The answer is that I'm a Marine and being far from a corporate environment my old commanding officer would give us a pep talk at our weekly formations. He would talk about this and that, and he would always say "It's not easy to come to work and put on this green armani suit" The thing is, he wasn't talking about an expensive 3 peice suite, but rather our camaouflage uniform. So, having said all that I was really thinking hard for a good nick and it just hit me to use that. Anyone else wanna say how they came up with their nick? Come one what else do you have going on

Actually my name is Abhishek, which means 'anointing'. But my family and friends call me Ashu, which is a twist on Asha meaning 'hope'.
Decided to switch the 'a' in ashu with '@'. So here it is, @shu.

My wif thought since the sign @ usually means "at", she thought your name was pronounced "atshu" like a sneeze or something. Now I can tell her "see I told you you were wrong"

Keila is my one of my dogs names so no story here.
Not very creative but I have yet to forget the name when I log on to something.
Now is I can just remember the other dogs name so I can get into all those other accounts.

That's what my sis calls me Green_Armani. She calls me 'atshoo' as in a sneeze. Sometimes she calls me 'aasoo' which means tears.
@shu sneezes.
The irony is, I have a severe cold right now.
@shu sneezes again.
So I am sneezing and there are tears in my eyes!!!

As a child, I was ripped apart and almost killed by a lycanthrope, and so, natural genetic manipulation being what it is, I have social problems once a month

I had a very small part in Texas Chainsaw Massacre...That's why that guy had to wear a mask. He didn't taste very good.

Keila, my secret is good clean living. Ok, that was a flat out lie. The 314 refers to my birthday (March 14th).

Pax means "peace". And it's a nickname my friends gave me a long time ago when I was a teen and a big peace activist.
The nickname still fits, although I'm too lazy anymore to go to the peace walks.
Pax was taken when I signed up on Skinz.org, so I just added the extra X. I'm stuck with it since then.
So, anybody wants to ask me what I think of the war in Irak now?

Good question, many people think since I'm in the military that I "must" want to go to Iraq to open a can of wup arse, but really I don't think anyone wants war but something does need to be done. So many options so many points of you, I don't think anyone will agree on whats the right course of action. Should we wait and see if Saddam "ever" does anything and if and when he does every one will say "I told you so" or should we act premptively and prevent the inevitable. Way too many variables for any one course of action. Kinda frustrating because no matter what is decided myself and the rest of my brothers and sisters in the military will do as we are told.

Green_Armani, I think it is great. Maybe turning it into to a wall you could add some fire type atmosphere under the thing he is standing on. It would blend with the glow on his face and bring it together for a wall.
I feel funny giving any tip to you, I love your work.

Bangkokboy is a texan who's as messed up as IPlural, but in this case it's having formed multiple attachments for a single personality at opposite ends of the globe. this can be a very expensive malady, BTW. methinks it would be much easier to remain immobile and have many personnae.

Naw, Keila you shouldn't feel that way. I'm far from a natural at all this and to be honest it's been a lot of hours learning what this and that does. Not to mention my wife complaining about it. Thanks for the tip
