BRANES, it's an anagram of my initials and my late wife's maiden initials. RES NAB
It became the name for my computer consulting business.

Not much thought behind mine tbh but the 'd' being the first letter of my surname and 'boy' because that I've probably never grown up................bit like Peter Pan Really.

My hand hurts.

(and not why you think, I draw a lot)

Do you actually suffer from CTS then?

Had the surgery in 2000, but still get pain if I overwork it.

(shame on those of you still thinking dirty)

Well, I got the Ctunnel...

Mine dates a bit - for those who remember, Quantum Leap...when about to jump, Sam would say...

My screenname comes from an ancient text-based adventure game (called Adventure, strangely enough) that we used to play on an IBM mainframe, about 25-30 years ago. It was one of the magic words you would use to jump from one location in the game to another.

My friends called me of fun of my pseudonymous "naughty". Maybe I'm naughty, but I'm also very nice

Heh! I remember Colossal Cave Adventure, although the version I cut my text adventure teeth on was an extended version by Level Nine! Also, in the game Zork, typing 'xyzzy' and pressing enter produces the response:

A hollow voice says "fool."

Boy you two are bringing back fond memories, of a carefree sailors life. Thank you

Being naughty AND nice is actually normal... We are all a little of both. But most of us do not wish to admit it. So your name shows that you recognize all aspects of your life. Good for you.

Excuse me ? is this a tone of irony ? :S

I doubt it -- I'm not really qualified to speak for Loup Garou, but I suspect he's being complimentary!

If I was being funny, I would be using sarcasm. But in this case, I was simply calling it as I see it. 8-) In other words, Greebo was right.
