[Ty K. Doe]

I kinda hoped most people would get mine, but here's the translation.

Ty - a persons name = to Tae
K. - middle initial for kwon
Doe - like John Doe = to Do

Ty K. Doe = Tae kwon do

My nick is from the Japanese for "dragonfly".

I was impressed, years ago, reading about how the samurai (supposedly) revered the dragonfly as a tenacious and adaptable fighter, and called it "katsu mushi" or "victory insect". It is reported that many warriors would put an emblem of a dragonfly on their armor or carry a representation of one to ensure victory.

I'm not sure how accurate all that was, but I thought it made for a great read. I had a custom iaito (practice katana) made for me, with a dragonfly motif, with that story in mind. It has been a great training partner...

Finally, I don't consider myself an overall victor, but I do consider myself tenacious and at least *somewhat* adaptable......

Peace--

Deb refuses to talk about hers but i'LL TELL.
she was trying to get something out of a dumpster {in back of the apartment} when see lost her balance. Only thing showing was her feet kicking like mad in the air. When I saw her I got laughing so hard I couldn't pull her out {but I did get a photo} the complex handiman came by and helped her out while I continued to laugh
So till this day she is Dumpsterqueen to all who know her on the net and yes she is a member of the forum although she dose not post

I'll blame my parents for my name, I wonder what they were thinking that day. But anytime the mods want the can change my nick name to Bonehead.

I have lived with that name since I wiped out in a bar on a bottle lying on the floor and I broke a table when my head banged into it. My response was wheres my beer and I was fine once it was in my hand.:cheers: :drinkbeer

Let the darkness out, the smooth calming darkness. Evil flourishes in the darkness so let out the evil impulses.

So it does NOT rhyme with "Guess" ?

 

[vincefuess]

But that IS the most common mispronunciation of it!

 

[Dronak]

vincefuess, I would have guessed that it was either something like "fw-ess" or "foo-ess". For some reaons I didn't initially think it rhymed with "guess". *shrug*

 

[vincefuess]

But still no cigar...

Rhymes with 'fuse'? How about 'feess'?

I was dubbed Mantis Leg by my instructor. Last fall I broke my leg and for months my legs been pretty inflexible. Plus I've got a mantis form that I like and my body seems to fit the mantis style.

How many different (reasonable) ways can you pronounce five letters? Someone was going to get it sooner or later, possibly with some help from previous wrong guesses.
