Common misconception... skunks don't actually smell bad (unless they have worms or something). It's their spray that smells. It's kind of like saying that people smell like crap just because they can produce it. :V

Would one not assume that over time, if a skunk had evolved significantly enough to have the smarts to make suits, unless someone put it on the skunk, then they would have evolved out of their sprays like humans evolved out of their various special abilities?

Spraying, as far as I know, is completely voluntary, so there's nothing wrong with a civilized person having that ability.

By that same notion, wouldn't you assume that if any animal had evolved to the point of being anthropomorphic, they'd lose their claws/fangs/what have you?

This, as well. Also, human-like anatomy would make it incredibly difficult for an anthropomorphic skunk to manage to spray.

I googled my username out of curiosity, and I did in fact come up with myself, however I also got a restaurant menu that sells "Captain Pea Seed Pods"

Lekim
Alex M.
Mael
Bastet G.
Malex
Malex Gabumon
Mikelander
Frenetic Doping Gabuman Mikelander

I can make it fit for you if you don't know how. I'm pretty good at the kinds of artsy things that don't take actual artistic skill. Just link the picture for me.

FarmMan1812 · Post by **FarmMan1812** » Mon Nov 08, 2010 11:10 pm

My last name is Farmer and I couldn't do just FarmMan on Youtube so I chose 1812 b/c it was the code to the alarm to my old house, and I stuck with it. It is my user name to everything. The symbol is actually an "F" (if you didn't already see that) and Zander helped me make it. I, partially, shaped it and he made it look all cool and metallic.

KizerZin · Post by **KizerZin** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 1:02 am

My user Name “Kizer Zin” is based of the German word “Keizer” but I have very bad spelling and at school they teach me to spell a word how it sounds so I ended up with “Kizer” I used it for a long time before I learned it was wrong and as for Zin.

“Zin” It starts with my only OC ZigZag but everyone think characters need full name ZigZag sounds more like a last name to me so I made a first name that would sound good with it so I ended with Zin ZigZag.

I use Kizer Zin for D&D, gamer tag and a lot more

BlueAnubis · Post by **BlueAnubis** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 4:44 pm

Well, I'm a big fan of Pokemon, and I used to watch the show a lot. the first time I saw Lucario in the opening sequence (before Diamond and Pearl came out) I had a conversation with my brother that went something like this...

Me: Whoa! What was that?!

Brother: What was what?

M: That Pokemon they just showed with Mew!

B: I missed it, what did it look like?

M: It was like... some kind of blue... Anubis looking thing.

And then, sometime later, I had joined a Pokemon forum. When it came time to choose a name, that was what I finally chose.

Fun times all around.

I came up with this username after about an hour an a half of clicking this "random username generator."

I like it because it's unique and abstract. Though, because of that no one is really sure how's it's supposed to be pronounced. I pronounce it like yoo-ecks-ull. This isn't the worst I've gotten. At one point I was using this one called esaikal which just sounds dumb when you try to say it in my opinion.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Nov 10, 2010 10:58 pm

In my mind it's pronounced "Weshel." That X looks Nahuatl.

Alex M. · Post by **Alex M.** » Wed Nov 10, 2010 11:03 pm

Well in my case i pronounce it like how it's written U-e-x-u-l
I think you can pronounce it like this: uu-eee-sul

Heh, I rather liked Sleet's pronounciation.
I never thought of it like that.

EyeInTheSky118 · Post by **EyeInTheSky118** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 2:38 am

I came up with mine from the Alan Parsons Project song, "Eye in the Sky". Not really any other meaning then that, and the '118' business at the end just so happens to be part of one of my fan fiction screen names.

What is this Second Life you speak of? I thought you only had one...(Or 9, if you're a cat)

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Nov 14, 2010 1:22 pm

Second Life is a computer "game" that has no gameplay per se but a ridiculous amount of character and landscape customization. It's kind of a chat program, but on steroids. It's popular with furries because you can play as your fursona if you can customize it (or get someone else to do it for you).

Link320 · Post by **Link320** » Sun Nov 14, 2010 3:23 pm

I can't remember when I started using Link320, all I know is that it was a long time ago and I've used it (or slight variations of it) ever since then.
'Link' because I'm a big fan of Legend of Zelda, '320' came from 32, my favourite number.
I always thought of it in my head as "Link three-two-oh", and it was a long while before I realised that anyone else would immediately pronounce it as 'three-twenty' or 'three-hundred and twenty', much to my dismay. Oh well.

Yup, I normally use a this triforce: http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm18 ... iforce.png, but I like the animated one, so I'm trying it out.

And my favourite game has to be a close tie between Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time

Sort of, in that they ended up using it - ending up as a meme, but the triforce comes originally from Legend of Zelda.
