yes, Ender's game and that whole series are awesome! I just finished Children of the Mind yesterday.

that was sort of off topic, but I do like that title. I will probably use Ghost in a Fog if I ever get a PT. I got the idea from a song that goes "step out the door like a ghost into a fog, where no one notices the contrast between white on white" or something like that.

Elennar,

"Ghost in a Fog" sounds good! Hmmmm...thinking of future PT's makes us want one even more! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Heren Istarion's "Deadnight Chanter" is a favorite of mine. It sounds ominous, quasi-mythical, reminiscent of African or West Indian shamanic ritual. My one criticism is that it fails to capture his joviality.

I admire Rimbaud's "The Perilous Poet," in keeping with his screen name and also his online persona (from what I have seen of his posts).

A few others that come to mind:

Sharkû's "Hungry Ghoul"
Mhoram's "Dead and Loving It"
Ulmo's "A Northen Soul"

all for different reasons, somewhat indescribable reasons. Mho's is just plain cool, Sharkey's is terse and a bit unnerving, and Ulmo's [Legolas's] is tinged (to my mind) with sorrow, that Tolkien-esque sense of 'decline'; very tragic (and even mythic) in feel.

Ah, but there are so many more - for the time being, I'm satisfied with bumping up this old gem and seeing who others nominate, now that so many BDers have great personal titles.

On a similar note: I can't wait to see what Fordim Hedgethistle chooses, when a title comes his way.

Symestreem's "face in the water" is really good. When I first saw that I only thought one thing. "Story of my life"

Gil-Galad · 08-09-2004, 10:11 PM

Well i already got my title decided. if i stick with this avvie...
"Dancing Piano-head man of Doom"

i also Like Firefoots new one

The Perky Ent · 08-09-2004, 10:13 PM

Yes, keep Strong Bad alive

And BTW, Firefoot has a new one? Like, a different one before Illusionary Holbytla? Or do you mean a newly acquired title?

Firefoot · 08-10-2004, 06:16 AM

Thanks Gil-Galad.

I really like Durelin's "Estelo dagnir, Melo ring."
Aiwendil's "Late Istar" somehow seems to go very well with her nick. It sounds right together.
Iarwain's "Pugnacious Primoridial Paradox" sounds cool once I finally figured out how to say it...

So many more...!
