I am really curious where most of you bone heads came up with the user name.
Mine:
My name is Andrew.
'Bank it' was a strategy for poker that I thought was a good idea for when I made a profit at any given table. I don't think I ever used this strategy...

I think we've had this thread before, but here goes:
Halv = norwegian for half

^^ Same = norwegian for lapp/sami (the native inhabitants of northern scandinavia/Finland)
When I was in the army my roommates 'decided' that I was half lapp since I come from the northernmost part of norway.

I figured I'd add to the collection of lame reasons...
Chris --> Can you figure this one out?
B --> OMG, the first letter of last name.
Critter -->Probably something to do with the movie Gremlins...
Put it together, and it just rolls along pretty well IMO. Though I always thought of KFC for some reason (Crispy Chicken or something maybe?)

Because I used to like when it said things like "you were knocked out by your father" in tourneys/fantasy fb or w/e but I am not a big fan of it anymore. And cuz noone puts you in your place more than your dad.

Order then forgot about a couple PC games. Once I remembered, I checked the shipping details and it showed they were delivered. Did the whole UPS trace thing and they sent a copy of the person's signature - it said "DrMcBoy". Never known whether this was just a fuck you from UPS or if some random person signed for it standing on my porch.

Halvsame: by total chance, I was researching about Finno-Ugric yesterday, and somehow arrived upon the Sami People, Sápmi and Lovozero/ Murmanskaya Oblast.
Are you from Finnmark? How fucking cold is it there? Is it possible to swim normally in the Norse Sea/ Barentsz sea?
Do you really have periods of 24 hours of sun and 24 hours of night?
