Origin of User Name

[BankItDrew]

I am really curious where most of you bone heads came up with the user name.

Mine:
My name is Andrew.
'Bank it' was a strategy for poker that I thought was a good idea for when I made a profit at any given table. I don't think I ever used this strategy...

When I was in the army my roommates 'decided' that I was half lapp since I come from the northernmost part of norway.

[drmcboy]

Order then forgot about a couple PC games. Once I remembered, I checked the shipping details and it showed they were delivered. Did the whole UPS trace thing and they sent a copy of the person's signature - it said "DrMcBoy". Never known whether this was just a fuck you from UPS or if some random person signed for it standing on my porch.

[Halv]

Halvsame: by total chance, I was researching about Finno-Ugric yesterday, and somehow arrived upon the Sami People, Sápmi and Lovozero/ Murmanskaya Oblast.

Are you from Finnmark?

Originally, but I live in the south of Norway now.

How fucking cold is it there?

Depends. In some places it can get so cold in the winter that you can throw a glass of water up in the air and it'll freeze before it hits the ground (this miiiight just be a myth, but it does get as cold as -50C in some places). I lived on a small island, and the coastal climate makes it not that cold temperature wise (probably because of the gulf stream?), but the heavy winds make it pretty cold still. My definition of "really cold outside" is when you can feel your nose hairs stiffening. I guess that's about -15C. The coldest I've ever been was when I was in the army, it was close to -40C and I had to mark the landing area for an approaching helicopter. I made damn sure none of my skin was showing .

Is it possible to swim normally in the Norse Sea/ Barentsz sea?

On a warm summer day, sure. In the winter you'd probably get hypothermia in 15-20 minutes.

Do you really have periods of 24 hours of sun and 24 hours of night?

In the north, yes. Not where I live now, though. Back home the sun doesn't rise from mid-october to mid-january (or thereabouts), that absolutely sucks. The flipside is that from june to august when the sun doesn't go down it's really cool, especially if it's a good summer and temps are high in the middle of the night.

[wesrman]

Ya i guess, but Chardrian combined with your crazy avatars seemed much more gangsta before i knew the origins. :P

[Ragnar4]

Ragnar Blackmane is a major player in the Warhammer 40k Universe. He has been one of the major players in the Space Wolves marine unit. He has a chainsaw sword in one hand, a gun that fires self propelled bullets in the other hand, and he wears a pelt of a wolf that he killed with his own bare hands BEFORE they augmented him with genetic upgrades.

I tried the name Ragnar with my hotmail account. When it was taken, I tried Ragnar2... then Ragnar3...
