"Thumpalumpacus" is an old Air Force nickname. "Parkers Tan" is the kind of tan I have in July ... Dark limbs, white torso.

Yeauxleaux because Rihanna spelled "YOLO" like it once and I love Rihanna

Also I think "YOLO" is quite apt for an atheist forum, but didn't want the ratchet spelling

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Behold, the mythical Esquilax: a horse with the head of a rabbit... and the body of a rabbit!

I've always liked that joke, and Esquilax is my usual username because of it, but in the context of AF, I like how it's emblematic of people imbuing mundane things with mythical significance.

Milton.

A word bastardized by Christians to mean something it wasn't originally:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pand%C3%A6m...se_Lost%29

Also an unseen Fal'cie on FF13 Lighting Returns which props up the last areas of civilisation shielding what humans were left against the darkness of the chaos for the remaining days, hence fal'cie of preservation.

Well, uh...

There's no deep insightful meaning, I just pieced it together from a few things.

 I like the night sky, which is dark and starry, I like outer space, which is starry, and like dark which is... well, I mean like these guys:

Well I suppose mine's quite easy to understand but, I'll explain it. I choose this name because it represents who I am in the eyes of God, all the saved are children of God as we are reborn in Christ through His grace.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Damn, I should have went with Momschild.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Whatever-ist probably brings to mind the teenage creed of indifference. "Whatever, man."

But I mean it in the sense of standing ready to embrace what comes. I don't -or at least I don't want to- play favorites with reality. I've got the welcome mat out, come what may. Let me have it straight, no left brain or right brain filtering please.
