What's In A Name?

[Dim of the Yard]

Back in the day (a wednesday) I went by numerous variations of Crow.  i.e. Croooow, Croooooow, and Krow.  I don't have to bother explaining those here.

... Why would you want to name yourself after a black bird that eats dead things?

Didn't work out so well for Brandon Lee.

What, did the bird try and take the bullet himself?

If only he had a bird to save him. 

Because the movie's second unit team were running behind schedule, it was decided that dummy cartridges (cartridges that outwardly appear to be functional, but contain no gunpowder) would be made from real cartridges. A cartridge with only a primer and a bullet was fired in the pistol prior to the scene. It caused a squib load, in which the primer provided enough force to push the bullet out of the cartridge and into the barrel of the revolver, where it became stuck.
The malfunction went unnoticed by the crew, and the same gun was used again later to shoot the death scene, having been re-loaded with blanks. However, the squib load was still lodged in the barrel, and was propelled by the blank cartridge's explosion out of the barrel and into Lee's body. Although the bullet was traveling much more slowly than a normally fired bullet would be, the bullet's large size and the nearly point-blank firing distance made it powerful enough to mortally wound Lee. As the scene was being filmed, Brandon Lee was killed after the gun was fired at Lee as intended. When the blank was fired, the bullet shot out and hit Lee in the abdomen. He fell down instantly and the director shouted "CUT!," but Lee did not respond. The cast and crew filming rushed to him and noticed he was wounded. He was immediately rushed to the hospital where the doctors fought to revive him for five hours. It was too late however and he was pronounced dead at 1.00am.
The footage of the incident was soon destroyed without ever being developed.

But you probably know this, so in case you don't.

Well the Ronin part is because I've always liked stories about Samurai, and I've always been a bit of a loner. 

Ronin always makes me think of the Deniro line "I just ambushed you with a cup of coffee."  Genius.

My name was one of my email addresses. Yeah, I'm boring.

I love that movie, DeNiro has some great lines in the first part of that movie:

Spence: You ever kill anybody?
Sam: I hurt somebody's feelings once...
______

Spence: You worried about saving your own skin?
Sam: Yeah, I am. It covers my body.

True, reminding me of that movie when I look at my name is a great bonus.

"They always come back, that's the second thing they teach you."

"Who teaches you?"

"I don't remember.  That's the first thing they teach you"

Yes!  It's definitely awesome to be reminded of such a sweet-ass movie.  Poor Sean Bean is always the sallow bad guy haha.

May be hard for some of you to know who mine is based off of. Here is a few vids (ill put them in spoilers so it doesnt take up so much space) of Brak on Cartoon Planet and Adult Swim News from Cartoon Network.

You know what?

I was in my early teens when i first was introduced to Brak and it sure was my humor. I have his show from Adult Swim on DVD and he always makes me laugh.  I much prefer him when he was on these shows rather than the original Space Ghost.  It just reminds me of my childhood and was really happy when i got onto this forum and no one else had taken it. its a pretty common one to be chosen whenever i have tried to use it on other forums.
