Mine is probably the most boring on here. When I created my account, I couldn't think of a cool username so I went with my first name, my last initial, and a period at the end to denote that.

A childhood nickname. Since "Flash" was already taken I put the year I joined on the end. If I had known I would be stuck with it for all eternity, I probably would have put more thought into it.

My own moniker is a tribute to a rather camp '80's pop band here in the UK, "Right Said Fred".

They were very popular when I was young. If I remember rightly, it's the title of their second hit.

I wanted a name that related to Diplomacy and it just popped back into my head.

Perhaps I should have gone with "I'm too sexy" instead!!!

Then again, perhaps not.

I like New England and am from there. By happy coincidence I also like the NE Patriots. Fire Squad is a group joke from work - it also makes me sound dangerous ;), so I like it

Durga is a Hindu goddess of war.

Durga (pronunciation: [ˈd̪ʊrɡaː]; Sanskrit: दुर्गा; Bangla: দুর্গা), meaning "the inaccessible" or "the invincible", is the most popular incarnation of Devi and one of the main forms of the Goddess Shakti in the Hindu pantheon.
I've been wondering. So kind of an upgrade on Demon Overlord (which I also liked)


Ogion was the teacher and mentor of Sparrowhawk from the Wizard of Earthsea. A wise sort, but known for his silence, so rather a misnomer for me. Sparrowhawk was taken here, alas.

I guessed that! I had recently given that series as a gift... and so re-read it. I also wondered if it were "orion" miss-spelled. :-/

I feel like everyone on Webdip is secretly from Australia.

This would be easily discovered by any Australian we have some very unique quircks and australlianism which would immediately indicate a doppelganger.

You need to know how to differentiate a slab and a block for example. When thi s occurred and immediatley be able to name the meaning for the word stubby. Do you drink it or wear it.

and understand the entire Australiana Song by Austintacious .
